| ok this is the first time I have written on one of these things so sorry if this problem has already come up. Anyways I had a hair dying disaster 2 days ago. I have been dying my hair very light blonde for years and I was so sick of it that I decided to go to medium/dark brown (with permanent haircolor). I did it myself at home and the color turned out ok. I liked it, but I missed a few spots on both sides of my head, so there were some lighter spots and it really bothered me. I was so mad at myself that I had done that! So then I did the dumbest thing you could possibly do. I went to the store and bought that exact same color and just put some on the spots. Well now there is a huge dark splotch on one side and the other side is just darker altogether. Yes, I know it was really dumb! Does anyone know if there is anything that can be done for me? Should I go to a professional to get it fixed? or should I go get a semi-permanent color to cover it up or would that just make it worse? I feel so ugly and depressed now. I really understand how some of you feel on this site about not feeling good about yourself when your hair looks bad. Please help! |

If it really bothers you, yes, go to a pro and get it fixed.
There is a chance that it can fade to an okay match, since dying over
lightened hair will fade very quickly, even if you use permanent, but
it may take awhile to find out, and it may not match, so may as well
just get it fixed if you're embarrassed. Actually you are kind of
lucky, usually when you go from very light blonde to darker it doesn't
take right because the hair is so porous, so to get a nice color on
your first try with drug store stuff was pretty good! ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

Give it a couple of days.....like Susan said it may fade just right. I ended up with extrememly dark hair when I tried lowlights to get my platinum hair a 'tad' darker. I ended up buying a OTC bleach a leaving it in for a few minutes.....I got to almost platinum again so I wouldn't suggest that since you like your color. I'd also suggest you post this in the Hair Color forum. There are some gurus that never venture out that might be able to help. Colorfix will probably be a suggestion. -------------

| OH MY GOD! I just did the exact same thing last week. Except when I put the color on the spots I missed it turned out ok...except some blond is still coming through but it looks like highlights and like I did it on purpose,kinda cool. I also bought from SALLY"S BEAUTY SUPPLY STORE a protein filler in the color WARM BROWN to help color correct any uneven spots. |
