Fading color, help!!!

Hi everyone!

A few weeks ago I colored my hair dark red/brown and before that I had really light bleached hair.

The first time it turned out purple on the top and light brown in the rest of the hair (the red wouldn't stick at all), this was with a permanent color. The second time I tried with some permanent color again, but no luck.

Just recently I put on a non permanent red/brown color which should last 25 washes. And after 2 washes the problem is back, dark at the top of my head and really light brown on the rest. Looks a mess.

What should I do? I want the darker color on top of my head to go lighter and match the rest of my hair.

Can i just bleach the top of my head and then try to color everything in a light brown? I have never tried that before, i dont want to bleach all of my hair because i don't want to damage it more.

My hair is relly thick, I just had a trim and my normal color is dark blond / light brown.

And have the salon use demi or semi on u as anything w/ more than 10 vol. will not stick around on ur porous hair!

Nothing more than 10. vol, does that mean nothing permanent? 

Were either of those products Feria? I hope not, if they were it's probably going to be impossible to get out.

What you should do is get it fixed professionally. All that permanent color is going to be really hard to get out, and you could do some real damage to your hair.

this is my problem also. what will the salon do to repair it so it will hold
color?

I think they can, but I think they won't do it unless you tell them about it. Why don't you buy the protein filler and apply it yourself, it's really easy. There's no need to pay somebody else to do this.
