Well, right now I just want my roots done. I've never done the roots myself so I have no idea if I'll get it all. Sometimes when I've done the whole hair I have missed.

The rest, it's ok. It's not bad even with the little yellowish. Could be a lot worse.

Like said before, it's that the hairstylist said she didn't dare put bleach in my hair. Well, she dare she just warned me. My roots have no color since before.

I know it will turn two colours but (roots one and the rest one) but I sooo want to do something.

Yellow - what do you mean, like a lemon?

And why that kind of wear and tear - when you recolor - do you just do your roots or the whole head?

Once it is safe again to color can you not color it rather than resort to harsh bleaching?   Also, if you are getting orange colors - obviously you've got some natural reds in your hair color.  You might try coloring with the ash (non red/gold based) blond colors.

Looks beautiful nikki.

I'm still torn between keeping my haircolor and just adding the roots but can't get over my hairstylist warning me it might fall off. Or colouring it darker orange. I have until tuesday to decide though.

I have natural mid brown hair, but have been bleaching it blonde for 2 years now.  I used to find that after getting it down it would be quite yellowy and that was with the bleach.

After visiting a top stylist, they recommended put ash tones through my hair.  This lifts any yellowness completely from your hair!! I couldn't believe the difference!! 

I now continue to get ash highlights rather than bleach.  Also, an silver or blue shampoos also remove yellow tones from died hair!! They work wonders!!

I'm getting my hair done on Saturday and thinking of going dark!! So I would now say being blonde is not actually worth the hassle!! But I do love being blonde.  My hair is now too damaged from bleaching to keep it light so that's why i'm going dark!!  I've attached a photo of my blonde hair to show you what ask tones can do!!

Well, I've been thinking of getting darker orange (I love orange) and then just touch up the roots in the future. I had orange done to me a while back but it really got lighter after a while so now maybe I'll go darker orange and hope it doesn't go to light after.

I don't think, even if I let my real haircolor grow back, I can get blond since I think I have some reddish pigment (right word?) in my hair.

I just have to stay away from doing my hair myself but once a few months has gone I am so itching to color my hair again myself.

Shouldn't bleach it more now. It's more important for me to get longer hair then being blonde. (I have hair remover/bleach at home so I have to stay away from using it.)

Is it worth going through this to be blonde?  I guess that's the question you have to ask yourself.  It sounds like you have pretty hair, why not give it a rest and have a good colorist take it back down to your natural level.  Maybe down the road you can experiment with highlights to get an all over lighter look. 

Remember  - with blonde there is always going to be the upkeep.  At least with your natural color you won't have to deal with that.

Just trying to help - and I hope I am.  Gosh, I can't tell you the number of times I messed up my hair trying to achieve the impossible.

My hair is little more then shoulder lenght. Been dying it for years. Lost the number of times but many. It's not as soft as it usually is. It's not breaking of at the end, no. Hmm, not sure how light I want. my natural color would be brown, a bit on the dark side.

Would like light but without the yellow, then again I have old redish under so maybe I can't get away from that.

how long is your hair? how long have you been dying it? how many times have you dyed it? texture of hair? is your hair breaking off at the ends? how light do you want to go? what is your natural color? Do you just want light light blonde?

I'll never be really blond. I just get yellow. Also my hairstylist says she doesn't dare to bleack it since I've coloured it so much and is afraid it might fall off.

Looks like I'll go to being orange or so.

If I wait a year or two you think I could try to bleach again?
