Dark Brown Hair to Light Golden Brown Hair?
by Autumn
(Gallipolis, Ohio USA)
My natural hair color is like a light golden brown color. but, i had bleached it blonde about a year ago, and my hair got seriously damaged.
I went to a new stylist and he dyed my hair golden blonde. I got bored of golden and went to dark brown. But, the bleached blonde hair keeps coming back because I had took the color out!? because I had bleached it?!. The brown hair dye wont hold on to my hair, and it fades.
Now, the dark color makes me look too old, and I'm only a teenager! I want to go back to my natural light golden brown color.... please help!
There is a limit to the amount of chemical exposure your hair can handle. Hair color pigment might hold if your hair is filled with a color filler... if you have gone dark to light to dark your hair might be too porous to retain artificial pigments. Consult a professional colorist. It is likely to be expensive, but you can likely be helped. Do not try alter this yourself.
I recommend that you condition your hair once or twice per week for at least 6 weeks using a good "treatment" , after that (assuming that your hair is strong and healthy enough, you could use a mild color remover (mix power lightener with 5 volume developer ) wet your hair first and apply to your entire head for 10 to 20 minutes, by then your hair should be a couple of shades lighter.
