hair help Options

so yesterday i went to this place called curl up n dye to get my hair done.

originally i went in wanting light brown highlights.

somehow by the end i was talked into getting like cherry red almost magenta reallly bright highlights going through my hair..

they had to lift the color off my hair first, which left the highlights like dark blondish before they dyed it.

i loved it yesterday, my parents almost killed me.

i woke up this morning, freaked out and realized what i had done.


does anyone know what i could do to fix this??

can i dye it over maybe with a brown or black?

i feel bad because it was just a waste of $150.

oh dear! what is the color of the base by the way?

well, yes you can definitely dye over it. but this is the bad part, i'd suggest getting it done again, just so you dont damage your hair, maybe just see what they have to say.

because if you do it yourself with a box dye, it'll fade faster and you'll see 2 root colors plus the one you're dying. ie. brown, red and black.

but if you do box then make sure you have enough solution to cover it up, and make sure it's permanent. (actually, they're never really permanent, i know mine isn't )

This could go in Fashion right? Maybe not. I don't know.

^nah It would just stay here, fashion is more or less for clothes[your look], we've had hair problems in here before. I'm sure it can stay..

I suppose it could go under a girl problem

[goodcharlotte]

Oh okay. I was just saying that because Stefan had a similar topic and it was moved to Fashion. I guess girls are different.

Why did you change your mind about it?

[porcelainxhearts]

my base is like a dark brown.

i changed my mind about it because i'm a little more on the preppy side//than wild side & this look was fun for a day but i cant see myself starting school with it.

i will probably go to a dif. salon very soon and get it done over.



thanks for the help cassjamminx

[think!IMAGINARIL...]

You can always like strip it at a salon (It's pretty expensive though.. And it's supposed to really damage the hair) and redye it at home or something.

I think getting it done again is a better idea..

[*WHIMSICAL 0NE*]

Well if it's not permanent don't mess around with it and wait for it fade. There's ways to get that out, but since she stripped your hair before hand I doubt it's semi-permanent.
I would suggest that you go back to the place you got it and let them know that you're not satisfied with the results. See if they're willing to make you happy by fixing the color. If not, go to a different salon and they could do a color stripper or reducer. But leave that to the pros.

Next time ask for a patch test first.

thank you everyone that helped.

i know i shouldve been smarter with the color choice and less spontaneous.

i've most definitely learned my lesson.

here's what it looks like at the moment
