Can anyone help? I bleached my hair blonde, then toned the brassy away to a medium ash blonde. My hair grows fast and I found my self wanting to touch up roots every week. I don't want my hair to fall out from constant processing, so I decided to stop being blonde and go back to my medium brown natural color. I bought a box of medium brown hair color (permanant, not semi) and dyed it. After 3 weeks I was blonde again (except the unbleached roots)! Can anyone help me figure out my problem? My hair is soft, a little dry at the ends. I was using garnier fructis triple nutrition shampoo and conditioner. I dyed my hair when it was clean and dry, without any leave in conditioner, gels, mousse, hairspray, or anything in my hair. So I bought a second box of dye, 4-6 weeks after the last attempt at going back to medium brown. This time I bought a darker color, thinking that if it washed out it might still end up being darker than it was. Shortly after the re-dye, I switched shampoo to aveeno nourish + moisturize (hoping to prevent my hair from drying due to dying) And still, as little as 2 weeks I was blonde again. Now, 3-4 weeks later, I'm even blonder. What is going on? Does the nutrition shampoo/conditioner coat my hair so that the dye doesn't soak in right? Do I need a clarifying shampoo before I dye dark to strip any coating off my hair? Or does this shampoo soak into my hair and push the dye out where I just need to use shampoo for normal hair instead of moisturizing? I plan to try clarifying shampoo and then something like clairol hydrience with six weeks of color lock treatment.
Any other ideas? I don't want to cut my hair. I don't want expensive salon treatments, because I know they always say their dyes might just make it worse because I never should have used over the counter crap in the first place and cheap dyes might react with their products.

As your hair is bleached, it's completely normal for the bleach to eat through the hair dye, and there's not much you can do about it without seeking a professional's help! But one thing I might suggest to see if it works is to buy a colour depositing shampoo, to see if it keeps the blonde at bay!
Toni & Guy do one, as do John Freida for brunettes... give it a go. :) If nothing helps, see a hairdresser.
