I went to the hairdressers on monday for a cut and to see if I'd be able to get some highlights, my hair is mid brown.
I asked for half head highlights a shade or 2 lighter than my own colour (then all roots dyed too). think more caramel shade, light brown.
So she did it, explained it may not all go the same colour as the ends are dyed with buid up of colour, said thats fine as eventually it will grow out and ill keep getting them done so it will all even out at some point.
I loved it when she'd dried it all and it was all flat, lot lighter than I had wanted but thought it may fade.
Its been 3 days now and still brassy blonde highlights more than the caramel shade i wanted. I feel I cant go back as i did like it when she had first done it, just now i feel its awful and not happy, its not the shade i wanted and she did say she'd done it a bit brighter as it would fade and tone down, but how long does it usually take?
Im even considering putting on a dye over it to get rid of the brassyness of the blonde bits.
