Depends on your natural hair colour and what colour you put on...

AuntiePickleBottom · 28/01/2011 00:39

There is a product called colour b4 and it will take the dye and apparently it does not harm the hair , look it up on the net it has very good reviews, other than that head and shoulders fades colour quite well , if it's a permanent colour wait four weeks til you colour it again because permanent colours are harsh on hair . What colour is it ?

AuntiePickleBottom · 28/01/2011 00:46

medium brown

I personally would go to hairdressers to get hair stripped back professionly/Hi-lites.
Wouldn't put another home dye on it otherwise it will be an array of colours & patchy.

As Mrswhiskerson say's Head & shoulders is very good

Gel and scrape back for tomorrows visit for school.

Then quickly get thee to a hairdressers.

You can strip back the colour using a peroxide but by the time you source a good one and then get a colour, you might as well pay the hairdresser.

I'd just buy the same dye again and do it properly, making sure you cover every single hair.

It'll be fine, honestly!

What colour are you dying over?

If you're light blonde or a red based colour you'll need to add some blue tones before a brown will work. If it's bleached or over processed it just won't take evenly.

It's probably just best to go to a professional to sort it, unless you're prepared to do it in a few stages and put up with it looking bit odd in between.

The time that I turned my hair Ronald MacDonald orange, I just dyed straight over it! And damn glad I was too!
