Hi to all, I'm new here as I found this forum last night in a frenzy - I was typing 'bleach gone bad' and 'please help my hair' into Google.

I used Smart Colour Ultimate Blonde (evil evil stuff) to turn my light golden brown hair into what I hoped would be a Marilyn Monroe style blonde. What I got was orange/yellow/brown/horribly fried mess atop my head and many tears. I read some messages on here suggesting the best thing to do was go to a salon but I don't have that sort of cash at the moment.

In comes - Garnier Nutrisse! Now I only bleached my hair once so the damage was limited to that - I don't know how it would come out on hair that was bleached anymore than that. Also my hair was in a decent condition, I hadn't dyed it for several months prior to this. But I've found that Garnier has turned that orange mess into a reddish dark brown with perhaps only a slight hint of orange - and I can live with that more than I can 'Billy Idol on a bad day' hair.

I left the dye on for the maximum time, which was 35 mins. I just thought I'd let people know that this has worked well for me! Thankyou Garnier!
