NEED HELP! BADLY,Please:(

PLz help,i tryed to dye my black hair blonde,im left with the top blonde from where my natural hair colour was,and the rest is dark brown/ginger/red/black.. anyone know how to turn it blonde without damagin it? or..if i could go red instead? Im so lost :(

I replied to your post in "Bloopers" but I'll say it again here. Get thee to a salon, pronto!!!! Do not do another thing to your hair, or you will just make it ten times worse.

If you absolutely MUST do it yourself, go to Sally Beauty Supply (or some other beauty supply shop, not the drug store, that way you can see what bases are in the dyes there, which you can't with drug store boxed colors). I don't think there is any way to go from black to blonde without a whole lot of damage. You can still get it looking good blonde...you can keep it from looking too damaged, but you will have to condition it heavily and trim it frequently.

Are you absolutely SURE you won't go to a professional? I highly recommend it...

One thing you can do is do it chunk by chunk (not dying your whole head at once). You will have to try to separate what hair is exactly what color to get it right though, and it IS risky...you may wind up having to go to a salon anyway. Do you think you want to go red? If so, that may be the easiest and least damaging thing to do at this point.

I don't know what you mean your hair looks like exactly. You say its blonde on top, got that, then red, okay, then black? Do you mean its black near the ends or darker on the ends and medium or light red in the middle? I need a better idea of what color your hair is exactly, or a picture of the back of your head if you have a digital camera to be able to tell you what dye base you should get.

Don't worry, you don't have to cut it all off, there is plenty that can be done.

Do NOT use henna on the hair that has been dyed blonde.

omg if you can even go to a cheap salon, go. i did this same things once, and when i tried to do the same your your trying to do right now(not go to a salon) i did something similar to the last poster said to do. my hair not only turned the worst colors....but it started to fall out and break off. i had to get my hair cut so short and it was terrible. the stylist said there wasnt even a way to fix it, just to keep it short and get frequent hair cuts to get it back. she said that if she colored it again, it would most likely all fall out.


it was really terrible, so not only was i left with an even worse colo than when i colored it myself the 1st time, my hair didnt grow back to my shoulder length for 2-3 years.

You really need to go to a salon with a COLORIST who specializes in coloring. A regular stylist wouldn't do much but mess it up more!

Dyed black is pretty much the WORST possible thing to try and fix and usually ends up unfixable. if It were me and it was so gosh aweful and I couldn't go to a salon I would put a dark brown temporary color on top and hope for the bes that it blended OK. I definately would not use black again and don't get the new haircolor on the ends where it is so dark already except maybe the last couple minutes for blending.
