DARK HAIR HELP - ASAP (i will love you forever)?

First off - I really cannot go to a prof. I have $30 to my name and the drugstore is my only option (pathetic i know)

My hair is naturally a medium-ish tinted brown, but last year i had it highlighted, then when my roots started to come in i died it back to a medium brown, which then still left light streaks everywhere

I now died it dark brown and it came out black

I look like i have a wig on (no exageration) and VERY spotty

What are the best at-home hair bleaches/color removers that have worked out the best for you??

DARK HAIR HELP - ASAP (i will love you forever)?

I just answered pretty much the same questioned for another girl on here....here's my suggestion:

"Loreal Color Zap gently washes away all permanent haircolor. Ideal for color correction, removal of dark shades, muddy, uneven results or color build up. Leaves hair ready for immediate re-coloring. Loreal Effasol Color Remover washes away permanent haircolor, leaving hair ready for recoloring. Can be used with water or developer."

I read somewhere else where a girl had the same problem as you and she used a similar product to the Color Zap and she said that it lightened her hair so that she could dye it the lighter color that she wanted.

I hope it works out for you! I'll cross my fingers. Good luck sweetie!

The black makes you look older. I did mine and it came out black and it was suggested to me to use baking soda with my shampoo. Dont do that too often but it does help. Your brown hair was GORGEOUS if I could get that color for myself I would. You could also order henna from hennasooq.com and make a big difference without damaging your hair.

Personally, I love the black haired look on you, but I know you didnt ask your our opinions so, I used the L'Oreal kind, I forgot exactly what its called but its in a silver box.

DARK HAIR HELP - ASAP (i will love you forever)?

first off- you're gorgeous either way! the black does NOT look like a wig at all! you look awesome! it totally brings out your eyes! do NOT do an at home bleach especially just after you died! you'll have NO hair at all! wait a week at least- besides the dark will fade a little. make sure you use a good moisturizing conditioner. the dark hair makes you look older and sultry. ROCK IT!

Honestly, I like the second picture a lot better than the first.

But if you must, I don't know that dying your hair again is going to work. I have very dark hair (I'm 1/2 greek, and 1/2 italian. So think as dark brown as you can get withou t it being black.) and even the blondest of kits would turn my hair, at it's best, orangeish brownish. haha.

You might just have to save your money and go to a professional. : /

You're very pretty, too.

DARK HAIR HELP - ASAP (i will love you forever)?

I agree with the first person you are very pretty and the color actually looks good on you!!!! If you absolutely hate it. Leave it for a week so that it will start to dull down a bit (get rid of the beautiful shine that dying hair gives you) then try dying it a very light brown. The Dark with the light should tone it back down for you. If you are ok with it just not the spots, dye it the same color again just dont leave it on as long as you only need to cover the spots that got missed.

Hope this helps you out.

1 oz. bleach powder

1 oz. developer (20 volume)

1 oz. shampoo (professional, not otc drugstore stuff)

1 oz. bottled water

in a squirt bottle

wet hair down completely and shampoo from the ends to the root area with this concoction. because you have long hair you might need 2 oz. of each.

your hair WILL be dry so you will NEED a trim (at least) and a good conditioning treatment once or twice a week.

and NO MORE HOME HAIR COLORING

color makes color go darker - ALWAYS

the only way to get color out is with bleach/hilite mixture

my God those are beautiful eyes!!!

DARK HAIR HELP - ASAP (i will love you forever)?

Ohhhhh.....that IS drastically darker. I would recommend instead of spending your last $30 at the drug store, try going to Sally Beauty Supply. Their prices are significantly cheaper, AND they can give you instructions.

You are a very pretty young lady, by the way, and I agree that the lighter color would look better on you. Much less "harsh".

DARK HAIR HELP - ASAP (i will love you forever)?

is that you? well if that is you i think yo ulook pretty with black hair! and if you really wanna fix it you can get a hair stripper from walgreens i forget the brand but you just have to find it its in the hair dye aisle also! and while you at it you should pick up a box of brown dye bc no telling what god awful color the hair stripper will leave u with, BUT i advise you to sit in frobnt of the mirror bc the hair striipper will take your color out QUICK! you want it to take you to about an orange something light enough to where you can just put brown over it! and your defintly gonna want to do alot more deep conditioning treatmeants from now on! i did my sisters hair when she wanted to have black hair like mine then she flipped out and wanted her brown hair back! it worked well for her tho =) so i help it helps you out =) good luck xo xo

DONT BLEACH!!! I have bleached. it leaves ur hair very weak. the black hair on u doenst look bad a t all. I woulod wait 3-4 months then get a clairol hair dye and dye it very light brown. not blond--it will turn ur hair green. Seriously-black hair doenst look bad on u. hope this helps!

DARK HAIR HELP - ASAP (i will love you forever)?

according to the pictures you are so beautiful either way i love the exotic black look, but if it is spotty, use baby shampoo and wash twice a day, so unfair is when you bleach highlights into your hair and dye dark over it you risk the highlights coming in on the tips green as the dye wears off. here is the real advise here, don't do anything but wash it. don't risk damaging the great hair by putting anymore chemicals on it. i know it feels and looks weird to you now but a couple of weeks goes by fast and baby shampoo or dandruff shampoo will strip it quicker. believe me either way your beautiful and it will tone down. (i've been there) sitting in the sun helps too!

At this point, the best thing you can do is to continue to work on getting your hair healthy. Buy infusium DEEP conditioner. Also, buy a hair treatment (for 1 time use).

You do NOT want your hair to start breaking off!!! And it will if you keep using products like dyes on it.......

DARK HAIR HELP - ASAP (i will love you forever)?

in all honesty, your hair in the pic doesn't look that bad. the first thing I noticed is that you need to get it cut...

you have a few options though:

1) go to a beauty supply store like Sally and ask the sales clerk for a product that will remove the color. you have too many chemicals in there.

2) go to drugstore and get 2 bottles of black color and do it up.

i dunno what you did but when you color your hair next time,

your hair should be DRY and not freshly washed. Not greaseball-like either, just not freshly washed. it'll take in your hair better.

DARK HAIR HELP - ASAP (i will love you forever)?

honestly it looks good on you at least on the pic it does... you are more bold with the black hair i suggest you keep the black because it will take a while for it to wear off also striping your hair might do you a number since you have to do it yourself it may be better if you get a clear rinse by jazzing it's a product of carol or you might want to try a jet black one it's sold at any professional hair store for like 3.99 or so.. i don't know where your are from but there is a chain of stores by the name of sally's or maybe your neighborhood hair store may carry it anyway good luck girl.. and to me your working that black hair!

DARK HAIR HELP - ASAP (i will love you forever)?

You are such a beautiful girl, and the darker hair is very flattering... makes your blue eyes really stand out! Color remover might leave you with an orange tint, and bleaching your entire head could end up a big mess since you're hair is so long. I know you say you can't afford to go to a salon, but I think you'd be even more unhappy if you tried to fix it at home and something bad happened. The dark color will likely fade quickly, but in the meantime, try using a clarifying or deep-cleansing shampoo for a while. It might help strip the color a bit, just more gently. I don't think your hair looks like a wig at all!
