    Pink hair
    My friend works at a salong and died my hair a really dark color. I hated it and so I stripped it. When I did, it turned hot pink. I can't get it out now. What should I do?

    What colour did she colour your hair. Did you already have dye on your hair before she did it?

    I did that once, and my hair turned out all spotted. I had to dye it a kind of dark color to cover the mess. But I did get all the black out and opted for a dark brown. I know this isn't the best advice, but I hope it helped.

    It looks like some of the red is still in your hair and couldn't all be stripped out. You can perhaps try stripping it out for the 2nd time, that may help get out the remains of the red.

    And that would be horribly damaging, I'd suggest dying over this. Professionally of course.

    Dying is damaging too...
    Bleaching it is the only way to get it out. If she just dyes over it, when the colour starts fading, she will have a hint of reddyness.

    Dying isn't nearly as damaging as stripping though. Bleaching it would probably be the best bet.

    You're right there! :)
    But yep, bleaching would probably be for the best.

    Once I got my hair done at the salon. They applied bleach in panels as I was having random blonde pieces into my hair. They didn't end up leaving the bleach on long enough, so my hair looked more orange than blonde. So after a week, I applied bleach at home on the orange bits, left on for approx 10 minutes then washed off. And the orange was gone!
    So all that was needed to be done was for the traces of pigment to be removed.

    Sorry for the long story. Lol. But reckon that's what krhennis needs to do. :)
