I have been coloring my dark brown hair a very pretty neutral bright high-lift blonde for 5 years. I usually do my roots at home myself with Clairol HL Neutral Blonde and 40 developer. I loved it and my hair was in great shape.
I got a wild hair up my butt and went to a salon for lowlights. Well, they turned out too dark. I want to be all over blonde again. My hair was gorgeous before and now I hate it.
To fix it I'm sure they will have to bleach me all over and then tone to get the lowlights out? My hair has already been through a bleaching process once from doing it blonde so I don't want to destroy my hair. Any suggestions?
I just want my pretty blonde back with as little trauma to my hair as possible. I bought Colorfix from Sallys but I'm nervous to use it. Do you always have to recolor after Colorfix? My hair is already bleached out, so what color or peroxide would I put on it after the Colorfix? Or would I just use a toner afterwards instead of color? What shade toner? Should I just have the stylist who messed my hair up fix it? Help!
Will colorfix pull out all the permanent color? Or will an underlying pigment from the permanent color remain and make my hair worse? I have read to only use step one and two of Colorfix and not the last step.
The easiest thing to do would be try colorfix (because although it does
have peroxide in it, not a lot and is far less damaging than
bleach). Call the hairdresser and ask if she will do the colorfix
for you (you can offer to bring some in if they don't typically use it)
and tell her you don't want bleach because that is probably far more
damaging than you need on hair that was already high-lifted blonde,
then dyed darker. Yes, he/she will have to dye over it after the
colorfix because it will not come out a natural color (this is why the
easiest thing is probably to let them decide what to use since they
will be able to see it).
