    How to get my bleached hair back to dark brown
    So just before christmas just gone I used a spray called 'sun inn' on my dark brown hair, after about 2 weeks my hair went a ginger colour then everyone called me names so after a month passed I got blonde hilights done to my hair to take away the gingerness, then when he summer came and the sun started to bleach my hair even more so it went really blonde, now I really dontlike my hair colour because I have got my original dark brown only on the inside bit of my hair but if I dye it back brown my awfull sun bleached hair will come back through! :( or it might go green or what ever colour. Any idears?
    p.s its been about 8 months since I dyed it :(

    You will also have fried hair my dear. SunIn has to be the worse that could ever happen to hair; and then you went and got highlights?

    If you still want hair, you should get it cut off short and go back to your healthy looking brown hair. Yes, it will go green.

    You do not need to cut off your hair and it will not turn green if you color it properly. I would use a demi-permanent color (such as Goldwell Colorance) in a neutral or warm shade. The unwanted green cast usually occurs if you try to darken bleached hair with an ash based color, so do not use an ash based color. With Goldwell, you would want a shade with one of these letters in the name: N (for neutral, such as 6N), or G or B.

    You may want to mention where goldwell is sold. This is an international site, so that product may not be available where they are UK, Canada, US, Australia, etc
