Please help - I have had it with my hair! I was growing out highlights for about 8 months and had probably 4 inches of natural growth. It didn't look bad, but my hairstylist said she could die over the part with highlights to match my correct color. Well, she actually had to end up dying my entire head. When I left the salon, my naturally light brown hair with faded blond highlights was a very dark medium brown color. It has since faded a little bit - but has returned to looking uneven. The bottom highlighted part has faded to a reddish medium brown and the top part is still pretty dark.

I was tempting to go and buy a light ash brown to die over this mess. I really didn't want to get highlights again either, because the whole point was that I was trying to grow out my natural color. Any advice? The only thing I can think of is to chop it off! Please help!:mad:

Omg that is almost the same thing that happened to me! Except my hair horror I did too myself ::tear::

~thinking about going to a different help webiste because prettylady has not been on the site for about 4 days and she's the expert so yea...

I'm sorry about your hair I have ben trying to grow my hair out and I try to dye the bottom of my hair my natural color unfortunately my hair somehow turned nearly black and now some brown is peaking out but I still have a lot of ugly black it looks horrible! But again I'm so sorry and I hope someone gives us both advice soon!

Good luck~

Dcchick123, please do not use a box color on your hair, it will make matters worse. Using a light brown color on dark hair will not make it light brown. I recommend that you go back to the salon and let her correct the mistake. Most salons will try to correct color problems and will do it at no additional cost, unless you used a box color on it. If you don't want the same hairstylist to fix your hair, the salon will appoint you another hairstylist to correct the problem.
