Okay, so my hair was a dark brown, with highlights ranging from brown to light blonde and then black all around my bangs.
My mom suggested I get my hair lightened in preparation for my sisters wedding
so I went to this place and I received 7 foils
They are all around my front area, which is fine but I don't like them at all and they are kind of orange.
Sooooo I want to get rid of them, without leaving a huge difference of color when I dye over them.
I don't have pics atm.
Thanks for any help ^_^

I'd suggest you try coloring those sections using a semi permanent 1-2 shades lighter than your natural color. Apply the color from root to mid-shaft, but only pull it through the ends for the final 10 minutes of processing (the ends are porous and will soak up color faster). IMPORTANT: Do a strand test on one of the less-conspicuous sections before hitting all of them! This should blend those sections with your natural color. Normally, to darken highlighted hair, you'd be advised to use a red filler (to avoid a greenish tone); however, since you said it's kind of orange now, a filler probably won't be necessary. The sections you dye will fade over several weeks. When that happens, you can just go back and freshen them up. Good luck! ------------- Strand test, strand test, strand test! |
