Dyeing bleached blonde hair darker.

Try Lock-In Blonde in your search. I got mine at Sally's, but you can purchase it online and have it shipped. I only went a few shades darker than the platinum I had, but it worked perfectly to add pigment into my hair before coloring. I had no green/grey at all in my ends. They matched the roots and crown area perfectly!

When you search....it will give a description of why/when/how to use it.

dont use a semi permenant color, use a DEMI permenant color.  Basically buy a color from a beauty supply store and use a 10 volume devoliper.  It's deposit only, so it'll be less harsh for your hair (also better quality then the box colors at the store)

Also, how light is your bleached color, and how dark do you want to go?  If your going from very light to very dark you will have to build the color back up to keep it from getting a washed out grey look.

Now if your going from say this color

to THIS color

then you wouldnt want to color straight to that, especially because bleached hair is notorious for soaking up color unevenly.  You would want to first dye it something like this color

first.  When you remove color, you need to build it back up if you want to go darker again, or it'll turn out funny.  I cant tlel you how many times Ive heard "help, my hair is grey/green/purple" because they didnt build the color back up.

Thankyou so much Longhairdreams.

You've been very helpful.I'll have to decide now,weather i want to dye my natural colour light blonde again.Or put an all over brown.

Hmm decisions,decisions.......

Ok i'm confused now,so i shouldn't use it?

Thanks again.
