When bleach goes wrong..

This is Ronald McDonald checking in with a head fulla chemical burns/oozing pain.

What can I do besides let it scab up? Yesterday I coloured it 3x (2 semi perm, 1 perm) and 1x bleach.

Colored it with semi, got too dark, put permanent on it, way too dark. Like truckstop waitress meets kinda goth girl. Then bleached it. The pain was unreal but once you've given birth a coupla times and tattooed, pain becomes relative, no?

Bleached out to a lovely orange. Ok neon orange.

I should of stopped there.

But no.

I just HAD to put some color on it.

So its now Crayola Red and I have crunchy spots throughout my head with sores underneath.

I tipped all my hair, it came out a beautiful light and medium auburn. I was attempting to do the same to my head.

So, no extensions for the big concert on Friday.


Should I just leave it the hell alone?

f**kle.

Ok we'll start here...when did you take part in all this?

 

Oh I see that know! I don't read much!

Rose...have you tried washing a few times in dish soap? Does your hair feel decent or straw like?

If you can knock down the intensity of that red you should be able to stain it with a demi/semi. Same level, this time use an 0 or N.

If you cant get the color knocked down with dishsoap you can, given that your hair isn't mush and your head has healed, do a bleach cap. Add soap to your bleach and massage into hair to get the color off the surface. Then stain.

It feels pretty decent, I didnt condition it after I shampooed it to get the last color out.

The wounds are mostly covered in scabs, the hair closest to the wound is crunchy from the wound juice.

I have Redken's 'Butter Treatment', taking your suggestions, perhaps I should wash it with dishsoap a few times, then put the butter treatment on with heat?

I am not a hair stylist obviously. Just a person trying to get my hair a certain color.

Anyways. I will have a visual up soon because I found my camera cord.

Hoping there is not a next time..but if there is an old beauty school recipe is better than straight bleach. Shampoo cap-water scoop bleach and some shampoo. This is what I did to get the shades from my to dark install of synth of so I could then put in my lighter color. Your ends may tend to grab dark still because of damage so spray a leave on condtioner on frist to eaven it out- Aim lighter you can allways darken it. Stick to the semi permante from here on out.

Thanks for all the help!

I will give my head a rest tonight then scrub it with dishwater tomorrow to hopefully tone it down a bit. 

Here is another photo of the strands. They look frizzy because I go through them over and over when I am tipping to get rid of any stray hairs. Its the french refined #27 Bohyme that I dyed.

Bleach comes in 2 versions, one made to be used on the scalp and another to be used only off the scalp such as if foils.

Besides bleach causing chemical burrns, I have seen tint do that as well.  Some people are more sensitive than others.
