Oh my god!!! What were you thinking bleaching your hair!!!! You have got yourself in a right mess. Firstly you should have never bleached your hair!!! It is so so so so damaging, (coming from a lot of experience!!). You should have tried stripping the black from your hair and then applying a colour that you wanted. Now whatever colour you dye your hair it's going to just fade out due to the bleach and it will not be all the one colour!! You really need to go to a PROFESSIONAL!!! You will only make matters worse by trying to sort it. And with your hair being bleached, over processing will just ruin your hair. If you can't afford a stylist, go into a salon and ask for a consultation, you can then get expert advice and then go away and attempt it yourself. My strong advice for you is definately go to a salon, if you can't afford it I would start saving!!!! Good luck!!! ------------- Nikki :) |

Get yourself some protein filler at Sally's. While you're there, also get some demipermanent color about 2 shades lighter than you want. Apply the protein filler first. You will probably want to change the color, but this should get you started, and it will fade over a period of weeks. ------------- 
Just looking for a few good hair slaves - is that too much to ask? |

Your hair will never fully regenerate from the bleach until it grows out. You can condition it though, with various products. (conditioners, oils, masks, etc.) Just be careful with over processing your hair aswell, too much dying, straightning, and blowdrying can cause bleached hair to break really easily. I hope the re dying of your hair goes well!!

thanks so much for the info..first and last time i will ever bleach my hair...lol next time if i ever deide to go black again i'll definatly save the money and hit the salon. i bought a dark blonde hair dye and am sitting here doing the strand test to see what color it turns and so far it ookks pretty promising..mind you i know iamgoing to have a 2 toned head but it doesn't look like its going to be to noticable lol. *crossing my fingers* if this doesn't work then i'll just have to lump it and go back to dark but i'll be sure to wait a fe weeks after the havoc i just reeked on my hair....

alparen, hope it works out for you. nikki, I have bleach in my hair but as you know thinking of going dark orange. Reading here it seems like the bleach will fade the orange. Of course last time I put some orange in I had bleach under and it faded but this is slightly darker. |

buahahaha...well i got the money and called the salon and she took me right away..ripped out some hair said it was in hard shape. she had her father come in and look at it ( hes been doing hair for 52 years business has been open 74) and he saido h no problem i can fix that..took filler filled my roots reddish and dyed it light brown..if i would have went blonde which he said i could have but i would have had to cut alot off my hair soo i opted for this nice light brown color. and he only charged me 68 bucks!!! i was like whoa my old stylist back home charges through the nose and i find his results were better then hers. ahh i am so happy now content got to keep all my hair and got it all fixed. *sighs* never again will i bleach my own hair leavin that to the pros!!!!!!

Well there's a happy ending if I ever saw one! Reading this post through was like watching a drama! Will she get to keep her hair?! Will it all fall out? Will she kill her boyfriend? Congrats on the successful color however!! Oh what us girls won't do for our boys! And any guy who doesn't offer to help you fix something you were trying to do for him isn't worth keeping! Congrats, you should post pics |

| ohh tattoodles yeah they advertise that on their site. i've been there looking around a few times but i don't care for the fact you have to pay to sign up. but i understand why all that flash people take it sell it as their own and stuff lots of hard work goes into that. they rippeds down their free flash section on tattooz.net for awhile because of another site stealing their art work and stuff but its back but i think you do have to pay to get some of the stuff now. i just love reading in the forums though. so much wonderful advise. |

| lol hey i didn't care what she said i didn't think they were bad remarks. it was true i was an idiot lmao i should have not bothered to dye it.. but i had done the strand test on a piece of hair and it turned out so ifgured it would on my head heck the salon couldn't even figure it out lmao. anwyay its all good my hair looks good the condition sucks i am contemplating cutting it off because it is breaking. i am conditioning it and stuff to try and bring it back some.. and i even stopped using my blow dryer cause well it does dry the hair and mine breaks off if i try and dry it soooo lol. other then that color still looks good its faded as expected but i am happy. :) |
