Okay, so here's the scoop. I used to have really nice light blonde hair, it was natural, and before I dyed it, everyone told me not too... I should have listened. First I dyed my hair a chocolate/ hazelnut colour, which I love, but when it started to grow out, I dyed it a 'deep golden brown' which turned out to be more reddish brown than golden brown.

Anyway, so it had been three months since I last dyed my hair, because I wanted to go back to blonde the natural way. The only problem was, my natural hair colour was so light that it kind of looked like I was balding.

I have a banquet this Friday that I really want to look nice for, which is the reason that last night I decided to dye my hair blonde. It looked really nice on the box, and my experienced friend told me not to bother with a strand test. I really wish I had bothered. Now my roots are a really yellow-ish blonde, and the rest of my hair is a bit more brownish than blondish, with a reddish tinge.

This morning, someone told me about this stuff called 'colour oops' I was hoping maybe it could help without me having to go to an expensive salon that I don't really have the money for, let alone time to book an appointment.

Please help me! :eek:

Do you want to go back to your natural?

The reason your hair was light at the roots and darker on the ends was due to uneven application. When applying hair colour, you need to apply it first to the mid lengths, ends then the roots. The reason is the mid lengths is the most resistant. So therefore it needs more time to develop. The ends are second because they are porous. And the roots in the end because heat from the scalp helps speed up the colouring process.

If you want to go back to your natural then you will probably need to bleach it out. Using a colour remover will only remove artificial colour. And you might need to use it several times. After using a bleach/or colour remover your hair might look a tad bit brassy. You will need to buy a separate hair colour - one you'd like.
When bleaching the hair, your hair will go through different colour stages. Don't be alarmed. It will just be stripping out all the colours. Leave it on till you get the desired lightness.

Your hair may be quite damaged also. This is down to all the colouring. Did you colour your hair recently? It needs a bit of a break.

You can try fix this at home, but then it is a tricky process. So if you can, try go to a salon to fix the problem.
