hi jilly. if oyu are going a reddish shade...i think it will be fine. however if oyu are going a brown shade i am a little conserned. it might have a green tinge to it. even a reddish brown would be ok...but straight brown might turn it a color hair doesnt naturally come in :-p i would aim for a red or a reddish brown color. hope this helps.
ps- i would also recommend deep conditioning 3 days before you color, so the bleach strands wont feel too straw like after u are done coloring, and the rest of oyur hair gets whatever moisture its missing

Thanks for the advice!!!!

Hi Everyone!
I colour my hair a medium-dark brown which is close to my natural colour but done to cover the greys! A couple months ago, I had bleached highlights done. I like it, but now am wondering if it`s o.k. to colour again overtop of my colour and bleached highlights in order to cover the grey roots coming in! I`m assuming if I colour again, the highlighted strands will still be lighter, which of course would be nice. What`s your opinion? Anyone else have this experience already?
