Answer 1

the only way is to get it stripped and that unfortunately involves going to the hairdressers!

Answer 2

You can dye over bleached hair as long as you leave it about 2-3 weeks, however you can use semi-permanent colours over bleached hair, it tends to develop the colours more.

i had the same problem a few years back luck has it my mum was a hairdresser. wen u bleach hair and then want to change colour it hard as u no. the prob is that coz of the bleach it will keep fading i dont no y it jus does.ill b asking my mum later y lol all you can do is keep putting a dye on every time it fades or save up the money to go to the salon and have it corrected. good luck

its sumthing to do with the pigment in ur hair that wen u bleach it ur strippin all the colour out. u need to find a colour that will balance the bleach. also processed hair always fades . sunlight is 1 of them that fades hair naturally. good luck

ps ill never bleach my hair again lol

Answer 4

well since you bleached your hair a while ago it should be fine, ive bleached my hair to strip the color and put blue over it like a day or so after and my hair is perfectly fine.. so you should be fine. bleaching is usually used to strip colors so if you have dark hair u can put a lighter color in.

and if you happen to be looking for colored hair dye you should check out hot topic or spencers gifts... and hair dye is veryyy easy to do yourself or have a friend do. ive died my hair at home about 15-20 times

Answer 5

go to ur local college they will charge u like £15-20 and they will colour it for u if not then try buying more than one of the colour and don't be to sparing with the colour it will grab the bleach and it should stay
