Thread: My poor hair!

I don't think my hair will ever forgive me.
I've always been one to swap hair colours on a frequent basis.
I used to have black hair, then black and pink, then black and blue. Went reddy-brown for my 21st, then decided to go blonde for my graduation (parents wanted a photo of me blonde again).

In the process of going blonde I lost about 5" of hair :'(
Then, after all the bleaching, my scalp became too sensitive to the peroxide - I'd rather have toothache than go through the pain of doing my roots blonde!

So now, as we speak, I'm going mahogany. Here's to hoping my hair doesn't finally give up and fall out!

Anyone else have any hair disasters? xxx

good luck!

eeeeeee i thought i was bad! im naturally mousy/browny/grey yukky colour, i went VERY blonde for a few months when i was about 14 and then i went dark again, then i went blonde again and now finally i am back to dark.. although i do find now that the colour fades really quick with being bleached so many times

put a pic up for us when its done xx

Haha, I will do!
Very nervous, more nervous than any hair colour, perhaps because I've lost so much hair getting it blonde!

I become so bored with my hair, I really want to go bright red or turquoise, but I think my hair needs to grown again first xxx

I decided in my (early) 20's that I wanted something a bit cooler than my usual boring brown, so I started getting highlights, then going blue black (which I loved) and then a reddy purple with streaks. Unfortunately, at one visit where I was getting some "lovely thick slices" of colour, it went a funny orangey pink stripey colour, and I couldn't fix it for 6 weeks coz my hair was freaking out! I'm now a dark brown, and can't really afford to do anything else coz I'm so grey when it grows back it needs doing quite often. Plus, I'm not allowed to do anything exciting with my job so dark brown it is for me. Would love a nice deep purple colour tho
Good luck with yours - hope it gets better for you x

Well, it seemed like only one bottle was needed - roots turned out fantastic, the ends not so great (probably should have left it longer) - So I'm doing the not-so-clever thing of applying the second bottle to the end, leaving it for another 15 mins and hoping for the best - and applying some major conditioner!

Fingers crossed! x

Disaster, my friends, disaster.

What happened??????

Well, the roots are absolutely beautiful.
However, the lengths, which have had bleach on them in the past, have turned pinky-grey. WOOOO!

Three for the price of one?????? Fingers crossed you can fix it Ruby!

Haha thanks!
I've been reading around, and apparently if you want to go Blonde-Brown, you need to dye your hair red, followed by brown. Brown tomorrow then! xxx

thats what i did and it worked for me, except i didnt have the guts to dye it red red so i just went for a brown with red tones in it and that worked ok! xx

I used to use semi-permanent colours all the time, as my brown hair was rather boring. They are actually quite good for the condition of the hair, so I never had any problems.

Then a while back, when it started to go grey, I thought - there are two things you can do. Keep on colouring it for ever, or let it go grey.

So I had it cut really short, let the grey do what it wanted, and apart from a cut every five weeks I don't need to do anything to it apart from washing and conditioning, and because it is so short it is usually dry before I get round to finding the hairdryer. And life is so much easier!

Aargh Ruby - hope you can fix it - bet it looks kinda cool though x
