HAir - Highlights to natural

[pommedechocolat]

Is anyone good with hair solutions? Have quite a lot of blonde highlights currently (since last summer) and am over it now.

Is the best solution just to use brown colours, accept they will wash off a bit (and possibly look quite good as they do so) and wait for highlights to grow out?

Anything else I can do? Went I asked my hairdresser in June he kind of blatantly refused to do it as it would wash out and I had more highlights.

It has taken me 18 months to grow out my highlights and it hasn't been too painful at all.

The last time I had my highlights I went for less blonde and had some low lights put in as well. When it started to grow out it grew out naturally and the roots just blended in.

I think it's the only way to do it really as a dark colour all over will fade.

I have done this before. You have to be careful dyeing it brown as the blond underneath can turn greenish.
Either dye it with something with a hint of red or you can get a violet wash that takes the green tinge away. They sell it in boots.

I've been growing mine out for 2 yrs and am having a permanent all over colour every 5 weeks (due to grey) roots) new hairdresser today commented on it looking green! Anyway have had a new colour on all over today and some highlights under my hair if that makes sense to give it movement

I had mine taken back to my natural mouseyish colour by my hairdresser - it took ages as she had to do two dyes, one I think to neutralise the blonde and one to add my natural colour. It worked really well but I hated it and had a few highlights put back in a few days later! Short point is it can be done but it's a long process and your hair needs to be in decent condition.

God, it sounds a hassle. I should have learnt this by now - blonde is trouble!

I think I have to do it, hoping to get pg early next year and dont want to be doing blonde dyes whilst pg so best get started now.

Thanks all by the way!

I just grew mine out for six months. It looked like shit so I went blond again last week. So much for natural suiting you better, I looked half dead!
