A friend had a daughter who colored her long hair dark brown (black on the ends) and now of course hates it and wants to be a blond again. Level 7 or so with a few hilights. I HATE I repeat HATE color corrections like this because they are totally unpredictable. But she begged so I agreed. Her hair was not only dark but was very ash green so I stipped the color using rusks eliminate. It worked very well to get a lot of it especially the green out. It left it very warm/orange with the ends still a level 5ish brown. She didn't exactly get the dark on even initally and then tried to first remove it using baking soda and dawn dishsoap so it was very blotchy coverage. I then foild 9N and some bleach 20 vol through it, the problem was I should have probably done all over because unfortunately it was still blotchy in spots. After this 4 hours of hair it was 10 at night and I was tired of hair so in my stupidity (have no idea WHAT I was thinking) I decided that I would run some 100v through that section that was spotty but not the whole head. WRONG IDEA!!! Now in that section it is green again! Ahhhh I tried to do a soap cap to get it out but it was a no go. We called it a night. Her sister is getting married in 2 weeks and I need to fix her hair. right now her front around her face and solid underneath are a level 7 strawberry color, her back in that one spot in blondy muddy green, blond hilights on top, and some of her ends are still level 5 brown. HELP I have no idea where to go from here... sigh
Are you a licensed beautician? If not, she needs to go to a salon and get this straightened out.
@PUNKEY,
Yes, I am. I've been doing hair 10 years. This is why I have learned to hate color corrections. Granted not all are bad. But people assume they can do anything to their hair and then come to a salon and get a miracle. Then if it doesn't work out how they wanted they bash the salon for ruining thier hair. However the person at the salon was not the one who put the awful color on their hair in the first place. Blast, it's an awful circle of disaster. I am a perfectionist and because I comitted to doing her hair I will not stop until I am confident to put my name on her hairstyle. I will figure out how to fix it, I was just hoping someone had an idea other then what I already figured I would have to do. I guess not?
