hair darkening

Hi,I agree with Karen & William about going to a professional. I know it is expensive but I tried to do my hair color myself and it got so screwed up that I had to eventually go to a professional who charged me a lot more to fix my botched up job.While Karen & William made good points about how to do it yourself....it is really tricky and they are right about going slowly.I damaged my hair so much that I had to have it cut very short and it was a disastrous experience all around. Next time...I am starting with the expert.Good luck.Jaycee> Jessica/ Hair darkening Try a salon that uses Redken> Shades EQ to tint back with.

Yes you can put it back...but try the mildest vegetable dyes you can. These are the demiperms/semiperms that will not damage your hair. They will shampoo out over time 6-8 weeks, but you can use them to transition your hair while it grows out.A permanent color could damage your hair if it has been bleached. If you can, it would be best to go to a professional who has color expertise. If you don't have that option, proceed slowly and carefully to protect your hair.Best wishes,Karen> My hair is bleach blonde and chin length, I really> want it back my natural colour (dark brown), can I dye> it back, if so what with?Related Link:Queen Of Curly Hair
