treehouse7888 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Today i bleached my darker hair to get it lighter and before i washed it out everything was fine until later my hair turned really orange! i went to the store to get another hair dye color but when i put it in it made my hair turn a lighter yellow and orange color! i look freaky. i dont know what to do, i have to hide my head wiith a cap because its so ugly! what can i do to get it back to normal? i dont want to keep dying it because it may cause even more damage. please if you have any tips, tell me! i need to fix this as soon as possible. i dont want to wear a wig.

COtuner Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 You need to go to a good hair salon and ask for help. They may have a demi-permanent shade to even things out a bit. Link to comment
Maroney555 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Rite aide has good semi-permanent black hair dye that I am sure would fix it...then after a couple months of black hair, you can go to a good salon that will help you get back to natural color by stripping your hair....that's what I did to get rid of horrid roots. It's damaging to your hair, but bleaching it yourself was the worst thing you could do hun sorry Link to comment
HerDestiny Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hey TreeHouse, I did the EXACT same thing years ago! I was so horrified when I first saw what happened to my hair! It was a total accident. I just meant to lighten it up and I ended up a carrot top. You might want to give it a few days though because I got so many compliments that I learned to love it and just did it again the other day on purpose this time. I actually missed it for a long time so I re-created the accident and I'm really happy with it. I honestly was horrified and wanted to HIDE the first day because it wasn't what I meant to do at all... Link to comment
littlestar Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I am naturally dark and bleach my hair light blonde. Bleaching hair from dark to light goes through a process of going through different colors and one of them unfortunately is the yucky orange color you're experiencing. I find even the professional hair dressers have some difficulty in removing this orange to get a 'cooler' shade of blonde. The best thing i can recommend is getting yourself into a professional hair dresser, they may have to bleach it further and then tone it down a little. It will help get rid of some of the orange but not all. It's a process that takes time. I've been through this as ive been bleaching my hair for over 11 years! Link to comment
greensleeves Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 If you can't go to a professional, there should be a 1-800 number on the dye box. Call them and tell them exactly what happened and which dye numbers you used. They might be able to advise you on how to fix it. Link to comment
dumbblonde88 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Look like a freak for a while. You wont be the only person in the world with bad hair. Wear it with a smile until you can fix it and rock it out. Link to comment
