Chipmunk Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Are there any hairdressers out there who can give me some advice? My daughter has naturally fair hair but has had it dyed various shades of brown over the last few months. She recently had it professionally dyed brown with blonde highlights. She's now decided she wants to go blonde (!) and bought a highlighting kit with the idea that if she kept adding highlights it would eventually be blonde all over. She now has brown hair with a lot of patchy blonde, some of which is orangey in colour. I've suggested getting a brown dye to cover it but she still wants to go blonde. I'm worried that if she puts another blonde over the top so soon she will damage her hair so badly that it will break/fall out. Not sure either if putting brown on will do it much good. She needs to sort it out tomorrow so any advice would be VERY much appreciated. She's very upset at the moment and I've told her not to worry as we'll be able to sort it out but I'm not that sure I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GothicCharm Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Do not allow any more bleach or highlights to go into it, it could well snap. You're best off getting a semi-permanent if you REALLY can't afford it. Though I do happen to know that it is only £20 at direkt on a tuesday night done by a juniour (trainee) for nightschool for a full head colour. good luck with it.

I'm not sure that you should be putting any more colour on it at this point , unless by a hairdresser. The stuff they sell in the shops is inferior in quality to the stuff they use in a salon. A good cut is probably what she needs now, and some taming of the colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothicCharm Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 yes a cut would be needed any more diy will pretty much ruin her hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipmunk Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 Thanks, I didn't think more blonde would be a good idea, but at least now I can show her that someone else thinks the same. £20 for a trainee wouldn't be a problem, but there's no guarantee she would be able to get an appointment for Tuesday. It could really do with being sorted tomorrow and the only salon I know that would be open is expensive and, again, I'm not confident she would get an appointment at such short notice.

Titian Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Sometimes some of the salons that have "older" clientele are quite reasonably priced. They also have hairdressers that have been in the trade for years and know all the hard ways of doing hair, as that is how they were trained, the hard way. Perming on rollers made from tin foil, or on nothing at all just by making the waves by hand and setting them with solution etc. They can pretty much sort anything out if you get the right one. It might be worth checking one out. You don't always have to go to a snazzy, expensive hairdresser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipmunk Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 Her dad suggested shaving it off and starting again but that didn't go down too well. You're probably right about not adding any more colour but she isn't wanting to go out until it's sorted and she's back at school on Monday.
