Posted By: Jennifer Subject: is color stripping necessay to go from blonde to dark brown?-ASAP! Date Posted: January 12 2000 at 2:01am I have naturally dark brown hair that is currently dyed blond. Would it be necessary to have the color stripped before it's dyed back or can the brown just be dyed over the blonde? I'm not sure what I should do because the salon I go to doesn't do color stripping & I'm afraid they'll want to bleach out my hair before dying it back to its original color. Because my hair is a darker blonde on the top than on the ends, I don't know if the color will come out even if its just dyed. Is stipping more damaging? Please help because salons are scarce & overpriced where I live. Every time I've gotten my hair colored at one they ruin it beyond belief. As the color develops they stand there & say "Well, It should come out like you want" when of course it doesn't. PLEASE HELP! Replies:
