Help going from dyed brunette to blonde

 

When I say 'potential disaster' I mean what could and may happen. Like, if they do a colour remover (which they should do) and it's not done properly, it will go back dark. Then it has to be done ALL over again. Actually, that is not so bad because colour removers are generally non-damaging.

 

The real nasty turn could happen when they go to do your roots (bleach). It will likely lighten fast. IF they don't watch it, it could go white. Also, they will have to put bleach on your midshaft and ends to even everything up, but it may not get up as light as your roots! In fact, they should do that part FIRST, then do your roots so they can match up everything.

 

I think the problem is, IF! Someone who is confident and knows what they are doing and CARES about your hair, won't let any of this happen. I would ask them questions before you get it done, so you know they are on the same page with you. Good luck with everything!

 

Actually, you may be in luck with the demi-permanent. I think your stylist should be able to do a colour remover like Pravanna or Erase for oxidative dyes. This would be non-damaging and take you right back to where you were before you went darker. the only problem is the layering of colour that you have had done. It could be difficult to remove in one sitting and it will no doubtedly require some bleaching. Once the colour is removed, they will still have to bleach your roots to where you want them and make sure the blonde is even throughout. It's definitely a corrective process and some stylists shiver at the potential disaster!  Find someone who is comfortable with corrective color. It's possible, but may take more than two visits! Good luck!
