Hair disaster and presentation tomorrow [title edited by MNHQ]

[jesswhitesocks]

Help!

Like an idiot I bleached my hair tonight- first time and it come out yellow!,!

I have a big presentation tomorrow in person- how do I sort my hair out by tomorrow afternoon?

I just want to tone down the yellow- would washing it a few times help?

Not sure where some of you live but at half seven on a Sunday the shops only open near me don’t have toner. OP could you message friends to see if anyone has purple shampoo etc you could use tonight?

Poor choice of words for the title OP for something so trivial. Yep I get its deliberate hyperbole etc, but not one I'd choose personally. Hope your hair crisis resolves itself..

I would tie it back and wear it with confidence! It looks fine and they probably won't notice.

Good luck for your presentation

Just as a super quick fix if you can't get hold of a toner beforehand then run a load of talc through your hair and it will lighten a bit and be a bit less yellow

It really looks ok! But just brazen it out, and say you're going for a new look.

Sorry I know it's seems trivial but I'm freaking out - tomorrow is a big day for me and my hair is yellow!

It doesn't even look that bad OP. Unless the pictures just aren't showing it properly.

it doesn't look too bad, own it with confidence, wear some flamboyant hair accessories as if you meant to do it, make it curly, whatever.
Nobody will think less of you.
I have 4 inches of roots from having no hairdresser for 3 months - nobody at work even noticed.

It looks fine. Just wash it with some purple shampoo and crack on.

It's gorgeous in the second pic. If you really hate it put it back in a French plait with a hairband?

The second pic actually looks fine. Get a purple shampoo, some are better than others. The L'Oréal professional silver one is excellent. I hear good things about the Fanola one too. If you can only get supermarket purple shampoo then leave it on longer as it's not concentrated.

Thank you all! The purple shampoo seems to have the biggest vote! I shall go to Sainsbury's in the morning - I dint have to be in till 12 - how long should I leave it in?

I've never bleaching my hair again!

It looks really nice in the second photo! I think people are very tolerant of the lockdown hair situation anyway, try and stop stressing.

Looks lovely in that second photo!

I think that it looks lovely, it looks really natural. My cousins all have hair that colour and I wish I did, but I got to be our family's token ginger :o

I'm actuallyconsidering throwing myself off a bridge because i feel like everything coming down on me at once and I'm not coping. Could you maybe be a little bit more thoughtful with your thread title, o opened this prepared to offer sympathy.

Purple shampoo works, concentrate on the content of your presentation, that's what people are interested in.

I think it looks lovely!

That is pretty much my natural hair colour so I really wouldn't worry too much!

What colour were you before? Its the shock that is making you think it looks awful, but honestly it really doesnt, I love it!

Oh and I've just seen your last picture - your hair looks lovely.

Have a grip, you can't have mine cos I've lost it

Sorry. I'm struggling to see the problem. It looks ok in the first photo & beautiful in the second one. Honestly. I'm not just trying to make you feel better, it looks lovely

to you @TheoriginalLEM

Op no purple shampoo that you buy in a supermarket will be strong enough. You need a toner.

Your hair looks blonde, not 'yellow'.

It also looks lovely.

Purple or blue shampoo, available from most supermarkets and pharmacies these days.
