hey im sophie and im 15
i have semi permenant dark brown/red hair and a heavy trendy fringe. i recently did some hair modelling and really like my hair at the moment BUT i'm naturally a mousy blonde and i really want to go back!
i first died my hair a few years back, i wanted to go brown and ended up ginger ! you can only imagine how distraught i was....anyway i was only 11 and didn't think to strip it off the colour and no-one mentioned it so i was gutted when i found out that i could of done that!
but anyway i constantly tried to die it back to my natural colour through home dies and nothing worked so i decided to have it done at my salon and it worked and was a nice dark brown colour and i've had it that colour for around a year now and i'm getting bored. i Desperately want to go back to my natural blonde plus a few highlights, but last summer my ex-hairdressers told me they wouldnt strip my hair then bleach it because it would damage it too much, this was at toni and guy and i was very annoyed and i don't understand why they would have to bleach it too??
anyway is there anyway i can get to a nice rich honey blonde (lots of highlights) or should i listen to my ex-hairdressers and have brown hair for the rest of my life??! I will pay any price....i just want my blonde hair back!
They could try ColorFix. I'm not sure how available that is in
England, but a salon should have access to it (I'm pretty sure that the
public does not have access to it there). It is a low peroxide
way to remove the dye, so is much safer for your hair than
bleach. It will likely turn it an orange or yellow shade, which
they can then dye over or just lift a little to get it to a natural
looking blonde.
The other route would be to bleach the dye out, then tone it to blonde,
which is what they are talking about, and that would be very damaging
(perhaps they think your hair is too damaged for this...they can see
it, we cannot, so they would be better judges of that). You
cannot just dye it blonde, that will not work over darker dye (it won't
change anything).

hey thankx for the reply but my conseltation didnt go so well. it cant be done unless i have blonde highlights onto the brown and ease my way to blonde but i dont want that bcos i hate blonde on brown it looks chavy and horrible so its a no!
thankx for the help and maybe one day i will get my blonde hair back! maybe not...
feel free to keep leaving suggestions as i still really want to be blonde
Honestly patience pays off I am a ex-hairdresser and many ppl came in
with dyed black to dark brown hair & in under 6 months I had them
all back to a lovely blonde using Wella Blondor ammonia free bleach-
most everyone started out with 3/4 head foils & let me use a toners
as godsends when the har was at the nasty orangey shades , not that
long until the perfect blondes were achieved.
I know how much you want to be blonde again even I made my hair darker
beige & it took a few months of loving care with bleach &
toners to get back the old blonde.
thankyou, im going to take your advice i called my hairdresser were gonna start with a full head of light brown/ dark blonde highlights and gradually we'll get there! x
