so i just totally ruined my hair last night. i have highlighted
naturally dark blonde hair. i bought some "sheer diamond" bleaching
herbal essences kit, now my hair is orange at the roots. this is
HORRIBLE, what do i do?!?!?! i have absolutely no money for a salon. i
am so mad at myself.
can you afford purple shampoo? you can get it at salons for about $10 :) that'll take brassiness out of it, i think the only way you'll get rid or orange is to either bleach it up, or get a stylist to do it
If you can pick out the highlights carefully!!! re bleach the ornge parts. You can use foil to keep them seperate and they will come up fast so watch it. Then shampoo with shimer lights ( sallys) or ues a blond toner. If it is realy ornge the shimer lights (Blue shampoo) wont work untill it is lighter.

I think if you went over even half of the orange bits with bleach and a mascara wand, you could get a good effect.... just don't go crazy with the bleach. I've been there myself. good luck
eh, i went to sally beauty supply and got their advice. she gave me a
"beige blonde" toner, as weel as some 20 weight developer and some
scalp protectant. it's processing right now, and i'm keeping my fingers
crossed
oh thats horrible.I've been there myself.I have always wanted blonde hair.And my hairs a natural #4 almost #3.I tried lots of different home dyes.All I would get was orange roots.I would just dye over the whole thing.One time I screwed my hair up so bad I decided to start over and shaved it allll off.But I wore wigs.
I hope this works for you.Your lucky your a natural dark blonde.It will probably turn out looking really nice.

Oh i'm sorry.Does it really look that bad? I dont understand why it didnt work.I've know alot of people with light brown hair who's hair bleached with one box.Does your hair have red tones.Strawberry blondes,or golden shades.That could explain the orange.I think a combination of the foils and purple shampoo might be an option.I know you dont want to go to a salon,but honestly you could end up spending more trying to fix it,than you would just having done at the salon.And with much better results.Maybe you have a stylist foil the orange peices.That shouldnt cost too much.
ok, first off, did you go to the hair color section of this board?
second, your hair was colored first?
third, you bleached your hair?
then you put toner on it?
try generic shimmer lights from sally's it is $5 (purple shampoo) in a black and white bottle, also get the $5 savings card at sallys that gives you 10% off all your purchases if you are gonna keep buying stuff there!!!
fyi, the purple shampoo saved my life like a month ago, it's $5, you should always have it your shower if any of your hair is bleached bc your hair will absorb deposits from the water eytc that regular shampoo will not remove.
If your hair isn't lightened to the appropriate level, no toner or blue
shampoo will get rid of the orange. You need to lighten it more.
How long were your roots?
I agree with Boogiemama, if you hair wasn't sufficiently lifted through the orange stage, no amount of toner or blue shampoo will help you. You will need to lift past the orange stage, and then tone.
a couple of inches.Sorry it took so long to post back,lol.I dint know you were talking to me.I go to a stylist now .She is awsome with color. She lifted my #3 dark brown to wonderful shades of dark blondes and lights with some caramels.Plus my hair is much healthier than when I home dyed.
now that you have put a toner on, if you put another toner on it, it could possible go grey if one of them contains ash, so don't put another toner on.. if you usually bleach your hair.. leave it for a week, and then bleach it again..
if you do bleech after bleach it doesn't take as well, and also damages your hair a lot more..
i've done this to my hair before, and ended up spending more on bleach than i would have done to get it done at a salon in the end, and it was still patchy so i ended up at the salon anyway..
i want to get blue shampoo, but i know the generic version of shimmer lights is purple. And I thought that the real shimmer lights is purple too. What shampoo is blue??
