I have had bleached highlights in my mid brown hair for years. Just after Xmas we were very poor and I realised I could no longer afford my four weekly salon visit to get my roots done. I went to the hairdressers to go back to brown. They pre-pigmented my hair with bright orange pigment before putting on a dark dye. The colour is a lovely chestnutty colour which I have gone over many times at home since as it tends to fade fast due to the underlying highlights. Anyway I am now craving to be lighter again. I look wistfully at people with blonde hair and want my lighter locks back. I tend to look a bit pasty especially in the mornings with my dark hair. On the plus side it's in good condition and I don't want to wreck it with more bleach.
I've read some reviews on Colour B4 and it sounds good but I'm terrified of ruining my hair. I was thinking of using this and then getting a natural blonde colour to put on afterwards. Would this work? I can't wait a week after using it before dying again as recommended because I have to work so need to look reasonable. Has anyone used this and should I do it? I can in no way afford £80+ at the hairdressers but at the same time I'm terrified of a bad result (I have had many in the past but at my age should know better!) Thanks.
