What do you do if you screwed up bad bleaching your hair?

Question

Okay so basically my hair was faded black, and i have an appointment for tuesday night to get it highlighted and cut and everything, but i'm trying to get it like a chestnut color and i know the only way to get it that color when your hair is black, is to bleach it. No salons around here will do that for me, so i decided to bleach it myself. So last night i bleached it, and it came out orange and my roots are yellow, which i expected. So i bleached it again today, but not my roots because they're already light enough. Well, i don't see any difference AT ALL. i followed the directions, i got the supplies at Sallys, left it in for the reccommented amt. of time, and its just like.. an orangish color. not light at all.

i don't want to leave it like this and go to the salon tuesday night, because its really embarrassing and i don't want them all to lecture me or anything.

would it be a bad idea to dye my roots a color like my hair is right now then go over it with a darkish brown?

and what are some ideas to get my hair healthy again... it's SOOO fried

thank you!

Answer 1

oh...my...god!

Why did you bleach your hair AGAIN after t turning orange!?

Did you permanently bleach it?

If so, go to the hairdressers with a bag over your head and get it fixed!

Answer 2

when you bleach you're hair, it always has an orange tint to it, but it fades away in over a week or something.

so it's normal if it's kinda of orangish color

Answer 3

I would shave off all my hair and buy a wig.

Answer 4

Believe me when I say that salon's see this type of stuff alot. You are not the first one to s***w up their hair trying to do it yourself. Honestly the best thing you can do is to leave it as is and go to your appt and let a professional fix it. It may take a couple of appt's but at least it will be taken care of properly and you won't do anymore damage to your hair. Good Luck to you...

Answer 5

just cut your hair and dye it dark and just top dying your hair!

Answer 6

First I would go to a pro hair dresser. Let them give you a good cut and a good conditioning. Then leave your hair alone and let time heal what you have damaged so severely.

A lecture can't be as embarrassing as walking around like that.
