You should have gone to the hairdresser and still should. You messed up your hair big time. If you carry on putting crap on your hair you will make it worse.My hairs gone ginger, i dont wanna go hairdressers, should i bleach it?
HAIRDRESSERS DON'T WORK! Listen to this advice.. I have spent 拢200 on correcting my hair as the hairdressers messed it up! I've been back 5 times since!The best thing is to let your natural hair grow out! My hair is now stuck bright ginger and no matter how much die i put in.. It won't change colour

DO NOT BLEACH YOUR HAIR! if keep going at that rate your hair might start coming out they only thing i can tell you is go to a beautician and see if they can dye your hair blonde! if i were you i would just dye it black dark brown or go to the hair dresser!





Sorry
if you bleach your hair then it will go lighter but maybe not blonde. i would reccomend that you just leave you hair for a few days then go to the hairdressers before it begins to fall out!


:(


good luck babe!xxx
Wear a hat until you go to the hairdressers or until it washes out; which it will eventually do if you dyed it yourself.


:D
leave it ginger
firstly - what you needed to use first (and obviously didn't) was a good colour remover kit like Goldwell: http://www.salonsdirect.com/PD_51339.asp鈥?/a>


secondly bleach is intended for use on natural hair or hair that has been stripped with a colour removing kit first


thirdly - you should of expected that with just using bleach without the correct colour remover first that all this would do was take your hair to a brassy orange shade (it will more than likely be very patchy too)


lastly - you are going the wrong way about it to be asking on a forum whereupon 9 times out of 10 you will recieve BAD advice - this is the first bit of qualified advice


what you need to do is complicated and for some reason people on here end up choosing best answer based upon what they want to hear - the easy route. getting dark dyed hair to blonde is far from being easy and far from being cheap - please either listen to my advice or seek advice from a salon near you


1. you needed to remove the dye with a colour remover kit, the chemicals in these are specifically formulated to reverse the coupling process of permanent dyes, it is too late for that now though, but bear it in mind for future reference


2. then and ONLY then should you commence with bleaching. as far as bleach kits go i recommend either Smart total blonde: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Smart-Colour-Total鈥?/a> or Garnier Nutrisse: http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/s鈥?/a>


please bear in mind that hair WILL (no doubt about it) go through several stages on the way to blonde, expect to see these shades: http://media.photobucket.com/image/shade鈥?/a>


hair that has a lot of red undertones may need more than one full bleachout (each one should last 45 mins maximum) some people tend to panic if they reach the orange stage and it is time to rinse it off - don't. all you need to do is to mix a fresh batch and re-apply until you reach the desired level.


p.s. there is no benefit to waiting between bleachings, contrary to popular belief hair does not ';rest'; or ';get better'; it recieves no constant blood supply like the rest of our bodies, once it has left the scalp it is already dead and therefore CANNOT be repaired. hair masks can help to mask damage though by temporarily coating the hair in silicone.


3. once at the correct level (either yellow or pale yellow depending upon how light you want to be. aim for yellow for a level 8-9 and pale yellow for level 10-11) then a toner is used. traditionally a conditioning temporary toner like Born blonde: http://www.garden.co.uk/php/showProducts鈥?/a>


4. at root touch-ups then ensure to do point 2 but on the root area ONLY, and point 3 can be applied all over as many times as you like as is non-damaging (contains no harsh chemicals like peroxide or ammonia)


5. use shampoos, conditioners and styling products based upon your hair type (it is coloured and will be prone to being dry) so aim for the Pureology hydrate range: http://www.pureology.com/systems/hydrate


this range is a lifesaver on my hair.
This is a normal reaction for hair when you try to lighten in when it's that dark. Most people's hair will turn orange. It usually cannot go blonde all at one time.





You can bleach it again (make sure your hair is clean, unconditioned, and no products in it) depending on what hair type you have.





If you have thick hair, and thick hair strand texture, it *shouldnt* all fall out, but it will be damaged.





If you have thin hair, definately dont do it so soon, and I really suggest going to a salon for that.





Do not dye it brown again, thats just going to create a bigger mess and be a few steps back in going blonde.





If you do bleach it again yourself, be sure to get some hair repair products such as V05 hot oil, or henna placenta to help it.





If your parents have the money, and are willing, you should accept the offer and go to the salon in the first place to make sure you dont mess it up more. Bleaching isnt really an easy thing to do.





And next time you are going to do something to your hair, do some research so you know what you are getting into.
My natural color is dark brown and when I bleached mine I ended up with the same ginger-like color! I went to the drugstore, bought Loreal's ';Dream Blonde'; haircolor in Lightest Ash Blonde (whenever I touch-up my hair I ALWAYS buy products with ';ash'; in the color to not get the orange hint in color) and re-colored my hair. I also bought a shampoo and a conditioner made by Jhirmack called ';Silver Brightening Shampoo';. It's for gray, blonde, bleached, hi-lighted hair. It's a dark purple colored shampoo, and it really gets rid of that ginger/orange color. I totally LOVE it! I even bought the matching brightening hair spray!
