need help and suggestions :(

On wednsday which was like 5 days ago i had my hair dyed (at a salon) the hairdresser bleached my hair (twice I think!) then bleached the roots, then she put in black and pink streaks. I was okay with it when I left the salon but a few days later the pink has come out of my hair and i'm not sure why, she used permanent dye Elumen i think it was called and now it's all blonde (really more white) on the top and just a couple of black streaks underneath and it looks completely horrible. I went back and she said she couldn't do anything to fix it because she didn't dare to put more chemicals in my hair because of the damage from the bleach! and she refused to give me my money back which is annoying because it definitely wasn't worth the 200 i spent! now i hate my hair it's damaged and i even went to another salon to see if they could somehow fix it and they would only give me a conditioning treatment. i condition with leave ins and use really good professional products, i just hate the color of my bleached out fried hair now and i can't think of anything to do with it! i was wondering if its safe to put in a natural hair dye like herbatint and just do it myself or if that's a damaging idea also. i don't know if special effects would be gentle enough to not make my hair fall out. i've had like 30 people tell me this is the worst thing i've ever done to my hair (and i've done some bad things!)

thank you so much, i was really worried that any kind of dye would just make my hair fall out, i was reading another reply on here about manic panic though saying that you should leave it on for a couple of hours instead of the recommended 15 minutes otherwise it'll wash out. do you know anything about this? thanks again seriously!

 

Honestly, the best pink ever is Atomic Pink by Special Effects.  It will take forever to fade.  I've found that SFX lasts longer than Manic Panic.  They're both great choices, though, since you can reapply as often as needed without damaging your hair.

I usually get SFX from http://www.garmentdistrict.com/store/rock/special/index_spec ial.htm   They're cheap and the shipping is fast.

Apply veggie dye to clean (shampoo, no conditioner), completely dry hair.  Leave the color on for 30 minutes or so, then rinse and condition.  And have plenty of Clorox handy to clean your sink/shower/countertops!   =)
