Well, it has been done. I'm now apparently back to something like my natural colour but I feel like I am wearing a wig and get a shock every time I see my hair. To me it doesn't look natural.
I've been struggling to find a decent hairdresser since I moved and have had some colours which have made my naturally dark blonde hair look orange which I hated (I have rosy skin). So I think in response to this more blonde was put on and it ended up in bad condition looking like I had an overall blonde colour growing out.
So I have tried a new and recommended salon. Hairdresser seemed to know what she was doing and recommended that an all over colour to take it back to natural was the best way to go.
I think the thing that's upsetting me is that she made no bones of the fact that she thinks the colour I had didn't suit me whereas for years I've had light blonde highlights and see myself as blonde, as do others.
Apparently it wouldn't be right to add lighter bits in now (I'm not sure why, something was said about my hair going khaki which is obviously not the colour I want) and I need to have a similar all over colour done in 4 weeks when this one fades.
Has anyone had this done? I just don't feel like me and I feel my face looks pale and my hair doesn't look natural! It would be really tricky to have time to go back in but wondered if should go and discuss if lighter highlights could go in to break up the dark colour.
Of course at the time I didn't say anything! She was so busy telling me how much more the colour suited me.
