I'm depressed and confused. Please help! 3 weeks ago I had beautiful natural dirty blond hair with dyed blond highlights. I was very confident and loved life. OK. Then I wanted to go all blond. I went to a professional hair stylist and she bleached all of my hair and stripped all of the color out! It looked white, orange, and yellow! I was shaking as I left the stylist and cryed all the way home. I went back the next day and had her fix it and cover it with a dark brown. It has been 3 weeks (although it has felt like a lot longer) and the color is slowly fading... I feel a lot more confident with the blond highlights. Do I have to wait for my hair to grow out entirely before I can add highlights again? Or can I highlight over bleached and then dyed dark hair?

If your hair is not damaged, you should be able to re-color your highlights. To achieve a decent blonde color, you will need to strip or bleach the underlying pigments and apply the desired color. It's best to use a foil method or highlighting cap to prevent the hair color processes from getting on the rest of your hair.
