Although it did a good job at calming down the colour and making it a nice champagne shade, it was definitely a darker blonde than what I was ultimately after.
However, if you're looking for a natural look, along the same lines as Michelle's new colour , you could stop here. The following day, I used the Wella Streaking Kit to add highlights to my newly blonde hair. The placement was great, thanks to the cap that comes with it, but unfortunately the bleach made it canary yellow!
Onto the next dye! Having used this before, I knew it acted like a toner, and luckily it came out the exact beige blonde colour I was hoping for:. Initially, I maintained this colour with a purple toner shampoo from Superdrug, which I mixed with a deep conditioner.
I applied this mixture once a week and let it do its thing for an hour, kind of like a toning masque. The unfortunate consequence of this was that my brown roots had crept in, making the back of my hair almost completely dark again. I was desperate to have an all-over blonde so that it looked as natural as possible, so once again I reached for the colour bottle.
Not asking for much, right? I saw the box for Garnier Nutrisse Radiant Blondes shade In the U. So she decided on a root smudge with a light brown Ash, a few highlights at the back where it was darker than every where else and and the toned at the sink and she didn't say what colour that was. Anyway washed and sat back in the chair, and I could see straight away she had failed to understand and picked the wrong root colour.
I could tell she knew it too as she then asked what is my natural hair colour, was white till hormones and then gradually got darker till it was dark blonde light brown. She said youve got lots of warmth in your hair, it will be really hard to keep the gold etc from coming back! It was all gold for half way down! So I paid and left and then searched on line how to darken roots on all lightened hair, I was going to do it but my friend who is an hairdresser offered to do it for me.
So we used a dark blonde with 20v. At her house it looked perfect and very natural. Came home my daughter says it's even more golden now! I've read your article and others and I just don't know what to do. Sorry for the long post but wanted to give a clear picture as such. What would you advise. Merry Christmas by the way. It's a bit tricky for you because if you apply a permanent dye all over it'll affect your dark brown base colour too.
You might see some lightening and warmth occurring. I'd say, don't use anything darker than a light brown for the highlights and make sure you're using no higher than 10 vol developer.
If you can separate out and foil it onto the highlights only that'd be even better though this should minimize any affect on the rest of your hair while still darkening your highlights up a bit even if you have to apply all over.
Another alternative is to use demi-permanent dye with 7 vol developer because this shouldn't lighten your brown hair at all, though this would fade a lot more over time because it's not fully permanent. One thing to note, when I say you might get a little lightening and warmth with the permanent dye that might not be a bad thing since it would only be slight and could blend the highlights more to make them look less contrasting. Just make sure you throw away the provided developer if you use a box dye, and replace with 10 vol.
You don't want to potentially get 20 vol or higher in the dye as that will lift a lot of your natural colour out. Would a golden brown bring them to a normal brown? Fading back out to blonde within a week is It'd fade a lot over time, but not that quickly or that much. No idea what she must have used for that to happen.
Put a red protein filler through it, give it time to set into your hair, then apply a neutral medium brown over the top of that and develop as usual. That filler will fill and help seal the new colour in so that it lasts longer. Maybe she skipped the red filler? Did the chocolate brown look close enough to your natural colour?
I'd say mix that shade half and half with natural dark brown and that will turn out good. I'd be a bit wary about too much red tone showing up if you just put another chocolate brown over it by itself so the natural shade will balance that out.
If that brown you had didn't quite look like what you want I'd have to give you a different recommendation though. Depends on exactly what shade of brown you're working towards getting back to. Keep in mind that you'll never get it exactly as your natural shade until it finishes growing out, and it will fade each time it's dyed though less than the first time going back darker usually. Hi there! I have Dark brown hair naturally, a while ago I dyed it all blonde!
Then it grew out because I w aged to go back to my natural color. So now I have brassy blonde, how would I go about dying back to my natural state? By the way this whole scenario was about 6 months ago so my hair is Healthy I just want it back to natural.
Because it's 2 different colours and levels, if you just apply a dye the unevenness in shade will probably show through still. Ideally, dye it all to the same orange as the darkest sections, then dye over that with light ash brown or dark ash blonde depending on how porous your hair is. Use the lighter shade if your hair tends to darken a lot when dyed. Otherwise if it does darken a little more than you want, a few shampoos and time will correct that anyway so no great issue there.
Of course, the above means you need to use 2 different dyes and since you're on a budget, if it's more affordable, just dye it all with light natural brown. I'd avoid that option if at all possible though since the unevenness you have now will probably follow through into the new result. It'd be lessened but there'd be some difference in depth and tone that you can see. I have light blond and orangey hair now, and i want to change my color to light brown, i can't afford to go to a salon and i jave to do it at home, what 2 shades do i have to mix to fill it.
Depends what colour you want to get it too. Lighter is probably out of the question because of the damage but if you dye it all to the colour of your roots, then cover with an ash dye to tone out the warmth you can get it all even and the same shade.
Alternatively, go close to your natural colour and maintain that for a while without any more lightening until it grows out a bit and the damage is gradually trimmed off. This would be the easiest thing to do because you won't have to do any root touch-ups that involve lightening risk of bleach overlap onto the previously damaged lengths which could cause snapping in very damaged hair.
You'd still need to retouch it when it fades, especially after the first time going back to darker because the fading will be more dramatic then, but this isn't very damaging compared to if you were to do any lightening. My hair is platinum blonde and pretty damaged..
The last time I've done my roots was a disaster so I had to cover it up and all that I've had left on my shelf was pink directions.. So it's pink now. And I really want to get a more natural color back..
Any idea what I could do? Somewhat late reply here. You can dye that with neutral and it will darken the grey up to blonde. Probably go with a shade lighter than your natural color at first because ending up darker than expected is common with a lot of brands, especially with neutral or ash shades.
Now this will change the natural color of your blonde hair a bit though because obviously the dye isn't the same as your natural color, but you can get around this by mixing different shades like adding some beige blonde to it if you feel like experimenting with it. Importantly though, the grey will be dyed blonde and darkened to match the rest of your hair.
