is any1 up 2 the challenge of helping me with my hair? my terrible, horrible hair... well, the problem is that my hair is naturally dark blonde to light brown - mousy, if you will. i used a natural kind of dye blonding spray on it for ages, because i fancied going totally blonde. now though, i have yellow hair (i dont know if its that all the dye has built up or something), and a brown stripe going down the middle of it. I do touch up my roots when they need doing, about twice a month, but it doesnt totally work. I still always have this stripe down my head. When I first dyed it it looked lovely - all multi tonal and natural. But now its just one colour all over (excluding the stripe). And I'm not even exaggerating when I say its COMPLETELY YELLOW. And, i have kind of cut this tuft of hair at the front, because it was about a centimetre and a half long, so i trimmed it into stubble. But it keeps growing back, and whether it is long or stubbly, it looks ridiculous and is always in the way. Plus, a long long long time ago (couple of years) I had a fringe, and I grew it out, but some of the tendril things are at uneven levels on the front of my head. Basically, my hair is a total mess. I never go to the hairdressers any more - I have my hair cut at home (just trimmed straight every so often). But now, I'm thinking that maybe I should go to the hairdressers and have it dyed a colour closer to my natural one - perhaps a honey or caramel kind of colour, and get this fringe sorted out. What are your opinions on this? PLEASE, i would really really really like someone to reply to this desperate thread!!!!! |

That "spray-in dye" product you're talking about is not a dye, it's a very harsh bleach for people who want to pretend they don't dye their hair. What are you trying to do in the long run? Go back to natural hair? How long do you want it? If you want to get your hair to a color close to your natural color, you will need to go to a stylist who specializes in fixing color mistakes. In fact, you should probably go there repeatedly, as your color probably will fade with time and need to be touched up. There's nothing anybody can do about your fringe problem but you. You need to let it grow out and not cut it. It's going to take 4-6 months before it starts behaving again, but that's what happens when you try to grow out such short hair. Alternatively you could let your hair grow out, trimming 1/2" from the bottom each month until you eventually trim off all the damaged part and you hair is all one length. The last option is to wait until your hair has grown out a bit more and get all the damaged part cut off, starting fresh with a very short haircut and virgin hair. -------------
