Hi all -

I have been bleaching my hair for a while now and I would like to go back to my natural ash blonde color.  I just bleached my hair, mostly just the roots a few days ago and I would like to know it would be okay if I dye my hair now? or ever? Will I get any wierd colors since it's been bleached, or is dying blonde okay?
Thanks for any advice, all is welcome!

<sigh> It took me several tries to darken my hair to my natural blonde color. My problem is that my natural color is somewhere between and ash and a gold, but not a neutral. What I found was applying a demi in a mixture of different shades of Clairol Complements Demi. I thought that using Permanent color would be more damaging. I still have to do this once a month or so to darken my ends that lighten slowly. I have about 4 or 5 inches of natural growth since last October.
 
The first thing I suggest is using a filler and going darker GRADUALLY! Pick a shade or two lighter than you want for your end result. Start there and go darker every 3-4 weeks, but please do a STRAND TEST!
 
You can do a search by my username and see some of my trials and tribulations. I think you can try your first phase now, but use a filler and a demi, imho.
