Black to Blonde

I thought I posted on this earlier, but I guess not. Anyway, I kind of know what your daughter is going through ..but kind of not. I used to have really light dyed blonde hair, but I thought it would be super cool to dye the tips of it black. It did look absolutely cool, expecially when I had it straight. It was layered and I did it myslef. It didn't look tacky at all. Point is, when I tried getting out the dye, it was hell. First I thought all I had to do was simply remove the color with something such as Colorfix.

Now you can try this, I'm not saying it won't work. My results (even for leaving it on the longest time it reccomended) ..were really, really orange/red. So, of course then I tried to dye over them with a blonde. Ha. It did a little something but you could still tell it wasn't completely blonde. So I got a haircut. (Not much, but to remove a lot of the tips.) Now, I know you don't have this option. ..So, if you really want to try at home ..I guess you could, but if you mess up, it's going to cost you more to get it fixed. Hair color removers (such as Colorfix, or L'Oreal Hair Color Remover) I think run from $10-18. If your daughter has long hair, you'll need 2 kits. Then you'll need to buy the new color she wants ..that ranging from about $3-20, depending on the brand & pricing of where it is where you live, again remember double this if she has long hair.

I guess you could always get her a blonding kit, but a lot of the times they leave you with a very badly orange or yellow colored hair. You can take the risk, spend a little less money and hope things turn out. I know her case I would go to a salon, they can find the color that'll match her roots and make it look good. Although I do know it's hard when you don't have the money. Salons are way too pricey!
