What's happened ?? Wrong colour??

My hair is such an odd mish mash of old colours, I've been dying it for so long. Last time I did it it was lovely, so thought I'd repeat that, but didn't want to do it yet as it would have faded before USA, so I did it a slightly lighter colour (BIG MISTAKE! and it went a bit gingeryyy!) so to fix it, I dyed over it with the originally intended dark brown, which has now gone an odd mix of red and black, so I look like a goth, I'm in ultimate panic mode. Not sure why it always has red tones underneath it, but last time they didn't show up so thought it was a good brand, turned out it was just that box! Think I'm going to strip the colour out, head to the Salon to get the red toned out and then re-dye it with the original brown hair dye! Stresssss!

Sounds horrendous. I remember when I was at uni and wanted brown hair, it was highlighte blonde at the time and I couldn't afford to keep going for highlights. I put the brown on and it went a lovely shade of pink!! Not ideal for work placement either! lol I'm sure you'll get it sorted. Hairdressers can work miracles!!!!!

Morning lovely
What's your natural hair colour? Sometimes it just picks up on whats already there? Like in autumn/winter my hair has reddy highlights through it, and then in summer it gets really light brown/blondy highlights through it...i hate hairdressers, i have never found a good one now i get whoever has a steady hand to just cut an inch off the bottom every couple of months lol xx

Nightmare, I remember having pink for the same reason! Silly hair, why can't it just magically look like the colour on the box we pick?!

Naturally blonde, but I've been dying it since I was about 12, so I don't actually know anymore, guessing if I let everything grow out a nice mushy grey! I always do mine myself as can't cope with going to the hairdressers - but it has lightened a bit and the red has faded, so it's just a little dark and red at the moment, hoping it'll fade a bit more with some washes and I can start again (maybe just go and get it dyed once by the hairdressers and try and maintain it through my holiday)

I feel your pain, think Im queen of hair-dying disasters. Naturally blonde but been dying my hair for years and one day I decided I wanted to be Luna Lovegood, because why wouldn't I? haha In 1 day my hair went from being longer than this to this My hair was all broken and literally like bubblegum so just needed chopping off, needless to say, I haven't bleached my hair since! If you're after something to strip your hair I used a really good one from Savers that was only around £4 recently that actually worked really well. I just decided I really didnt want light hair again and dyed it dark haha.x.x.

Oh the dreaded bleach, I've done it once and only once and sobbed for probably about 2 days! I usually use the colourB4 stripped, which works but still leaves my hair with red brassy tones that come through, humpffff, should have just left it and waited a few weeks to dye it like last time and it would have been fine, silly impatience!

The hair is bearable! Not ideal but okay, still too red, but I've emailed the local hairdresser (well one, there are 5 in my village!) to see if she can help, I'm happy to put up with it for a couple days/weeks if I can get it done properly before I go! If I could figure out how to post pictures here I'd show you! Diet is going okay, 100% yesterday, but not even thinking of getting on the scales till next week, am staying in ignorance and pretending the weekend didn't have any impact

Just chuck it up and ignore the colour until the professionals work their magic. Think how nice it will make you feel after it's done too, I love getting my hair done. I think you're right to ignore the scales, I've been giving mine the cold shoulder since last week just because I was getting on them every day and it's not helpful and they're just mean to me xx

I'm quite lucky not to be a sweet person, don't think my sugar intake is very high....salt on the other hand is a different matter!

I've given up, decided to leave it and let someone else sort it!
