I hate my hair.. hate it. I have had it dyed BRIGHT red for three years now which was great, but everyone knows the horrors of keeping a bright colour. Here is a pic if you want to see what I mean..  However I have now started swimming a lot and have therefore needed to change it as I can't afford to keep dying it every week and having dye come out in the pool. I have now gone a sort of "rust" colour, which is pretty boring and I am at a loss as to what to do. I wanted to go blonde (my natural colour) but my stylist has said there is no way they can get the red out, it will just go bright orange. I was also considering extensions, but I just don't have the funds... I don't want to go brown because it doesn't suit me, and I need something a little wacky! Help! I realise you can't fix my colour problems (haha) but what would you do if you were in my situation? Any ideas would be much appreciated. Many thanks. |

Hm.. well, would the bright orange be so bad? It sounds pretty funky! By the way, I love your red hair! What products did you use? ------------- |

Thanks.  I used a mixture of "Deadly Nightshade" and "Red Passion" by Manic Panic. I used to use Directions, Stargazer, and Raw, but found MP the best by far. I loved it that colour, but it just isn't practical

| Oh and for the streaks, I bleached sections in the fringe and applied "Tiger Lilly", and "Wildfire" in sections. |

Why not die it a pretty dark auburn color over the red? Then if it fades it will still be a pretty brownish/reddish color? Or, try highlighting/bleaching big chunks of hair so you can still try to get that blonde look and still have something funky. ------------- This is because I can spell konfusion with a K It's hard to like it It's to dying in anothers arms And why i had to try it... - Something Corporate "Konstantine" |

| Of course you can get the red out. I bleached the red out, and lightened quite easily and my hair wasn't that damaged. Of course, it was very faded red :P So wait about 5 months and it should come out very easy. |

I don't know why they can't get the red out. You can bleach black dye out of hair. It might take double processing but it's doable. Manic panic is semi-permanent, right? Let it fade a bunch and then head off to the salon. Or dye it a red shade that is less startling. Like strawberry blonde or copper. ------------- |

DO NOT DIE THAT HEAD what the bleach will do is cause the red to go deeper in the cuticle.. what u need to do is find u a really good color remover,, like a color erase. and dont use any cheap **** it needs to be like a paul mitchell or formesi i no i spelt that wrong but owell. then u can die it do not put bleach over that hair. it will never leave your head.. u may have to use the color erase six or seven times but that red will go away.. then if theres a orge yllow. then u can post another add and ill tell u what step to do next trust me that stuff will never take the red out if u bleech it... it will damage your hair,, ------------- Kris |

| Lyndsey, you look very beautiful with that hair colour. Could you not just wear a swimming cap instead? |
