Hi, I am a natural medium brunette who has been colouring her hair blonde for years (on and off). The last couple of days have been a disaster and I could use some advice. I have been using the loreal excellence extra blonding cream lightest golden blonde, it was a bit bright but I loved it and I could start getting away with not having to use a pre-lightener. The ends of my hair have taken a severe battering since I went through an assortium of colours to find one I liked but it has been getting a regular trim. It has taken me eighteen months to get it shoulder lenghth as it is quite thick and wavey. For some unknown reason I decided to tone it down a little and went for a darker shade of blonde so I selected the same range but the natural blonde colour instead of the lightest golden blonde. I rinsed off as per instructions and my hair had turned a silvery green matt (very matt) colour!!!!! I slept on it overnight just in case it looked any different in the morning..........it was the same. In a blind panic I searched through my old bathroom cabinet to see what I had in store to try and cover up the problem, I found a ferria sunset blaze left over from my "red days" just before I went blonde. Without hesitation I applied it, the lenghth of my hair is pink and the top of the hair is the colour the packet said it would go a deep red/purple colour. What I would like to know is if I took myself off to a salon, are they going to be able to make me blonde again? I am willing to comprimise by having to cut my hair (I cannot see it being an option not to) will anyone be able to help or will they all run for the hills when they see how damaged my hair is?

You might be right about the loosing it part! Depending upon how damaged it is if it gets the color stripped it could turn to mush and break off. Keep us posted!
Sorry, but judging by the damage that seems to be done you have little choice but to grow it out a bit then have it cut quite short and start again. But don't make the same mistakes again!
