sorry that this is so long..
i really need some advice about my hair color disaster!
backround info: im in highschool.. & my appearance is very important as you probably can understand. my natural hair color is dirty blonde. i had it highlighted for the first time last summer.. but it wasnt very noticeable so i never get my roots touched up.
kind of a long story.. sorry
the problem: i recently decided i wanted light/medium brown hair. i used a color that was suposably a dark blonde color.. but to me it looked brown. when i dyed my hair it turned out almost excatly what i had wanted. after a couple days the color started to fade dramaticly. so i went back to the store and bought a darker brown color because i figured it too would fade and end up the color i wanted. (i dont remember any of the actual color names its been a little while) well my hair turned out a VERY dark brown (almost black) with a very noticable redish tint. it was way too dark for my skintone and look horrible! i stayed home from school & my mom called lots of different salons.. most said they wouldnt be able to do anything because i had dyed my hair twice in a week. finally i found a 'color correction specialist'. she got me in right away.. and put a bleach cap on my hair.. but she was very reluctant about it and didnt leave it in very long. after that she dyed it (again not sure what color) but when she was done it was a copperish-orangeish-blondish-brownish color. i hate it! i mean it might look good on some people but not me!! (i think the actual color correction specialist handed me off to one of her beginners.. because i believe it was possible to get the results i wanted) my hair is in very good condition for all its been through. its been about a month and my roots are starting to show & id like to do something before they grow out much more.
please give me some advice!
