I had nautrally blonde hair, then I decided for some reason to dye it brown with nice 'n' easy dye, it went ginger after a couple of washes then again I reached for the same dye. Its gone ginger again, I don't want to spend a fiver every couple of weeks just to be brown. My hairs thinner than thin and looks like straw from all the dying. I WANT TO BE THAT BLONDE GIRL AGAINN ! :mad:
I heard of using bleach or getting it stripped, I ghave read some of the answers to similar questions and heard that stripping can lave yellow patches in the head :confused:
I don't have a clue ehat or how to do things.
I was gone to go to the hairdressers to get this mop stripped but I am now back down.
Ginger is a nice colour on some people,
But not on my HEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPP IM GINGER !:(

Please
Pretttyy please

Stripping won't leave yellow patches in the hair -- unless you don't apply it properly. Use ColorFix, Color Oops, Color Zap, Goldwell Color Remover, Igora Phantom or a similar color remover. Don't use Bleach or Effasol until after the artificial color has been removed. Artificial pigment won't always bleach out like natural pigment. Once the artificial pigment is removed, you may have to bleach to get your hair light enough to be blonde. Finally, you have to "tone" the color.

It's not trivial, but a lot of people do it successfully. Many hairdressers do this successfully and because it's complicated going to a hairdresser can be a good idea. Nevertheless, if you learn how before you try to do it, you can be successful on your own.
