Major Hair Disaster..... Please Help!?

Ive got highlights put in my hair a few days ago and they have turned grey around my roots for a few inches then gradually turn a golden blonde to the tips. Ive got my natural light brown hair underneath.... it looks terrible!

I want to go back to brown as soon as possible! What can I do? Ive been wearing hats for the past few days, I'm so so so embarrassed.

Should I just buy a perminant brown hair dye and hope for the best? Thanks

yea if you did your highlights yourself, most likely something like that would happen. if you went to a hair dresser, dont go back to her. obviously shes not that good. go to a different hair dresser and ask if you can either dye your hair back to ur natural color. or if she can go over the highlights herself with a new blonde, or whatever color you got it.

Did you get the highlights done at a salon or do them yourself? Either way I would recommend you get it colored at a salon, because they will have the proper dye to cover up hair that has recently been dyed. And if they are the ones who did it, obviously something went wrong and they should be expected to fix it for free.

If you dont want to go back to the salon, buy a permanent dye slghtly darker than the brown you want, just to cover the highlights.

I would go back to the salon. If you put a box color on your highlights, this could go a funny colour and it wouldn't go the same colour as the rest of your head, so it could look patchy.

They obviously never mixed the colour right, go back and tell them to fix it or demand your money back and go somewhere else.

Good luck

sounds like there was too much ash tone in that colour (ash = grey/purple tones)...best thing to do is go bk to the salon and explain and ask for their advice. if they say its "ok" and wont do nething, go to another salon get a 2nd opinion...they may say you will need colour correction which involves using a toner to neutrilise the grey tones.

dont try it ur self as home kits dont always agree with professional dyes (metalic salts in the home kits can react badly to dye already in ur hair) and cud make the result worse.
