I've dyed over bleached hair this morning but its not going dark enough

[Cocolepew]

I put a reddish brown semi on to correct any green tinges and then chocolate brown, also a semi.
If I put a permanent on now do you think it would go darker easier? Atm its sort of a darkish copper/auburn (actually quite nice but not what I want).

Just realised I'll need to use a permanent because this colour will wash out.

Not the point I know, but are you putting these dyes in by yourself? I've never had the bottle to Go It Alone.

Nevertheless, I do think it should go darker with all that. What colour are you looking for?

My hair has been stripped (is that the same?) and now it doesn't take too well to hair dyes. They wash out really quickly in certain areas, mainly the sides. I use permanent dye and I do it myself. It's very strange as some hair is really really dark, some browny red and the roots are quite light brown! My natural colour is medium to dark brown and the dye I use is called medium brown.

Yes I've never had my hair dyed at a hairdressers and have been dyeing it for over 30 years .
I know what you mean Buster, because I have my hair very short the sides aren't as damaged by the bleach so take better. The top usually has blonde bits still in it.
Im waiting for a bit of growth to cut the bleachy bits out. I wrecked it last time I bleached it

Whatever you put on bleached hair is going to fade pretty quickly - my hair was peroxide blonde and I decided to stop dying it and let my grey grow through, but thought I would initially dye it the brunette it used to be......20 boxes of dye and various shades of copper, red, browny orangeyness later......finally all the bleached bits were cut out (my hair is uber short though).

Now I am gorgeously grey (and fighting the constant urges to bleach my hair again!)

I was grey then got bored and bleached it, mine is very, very short too.
I'm thinking I could have a wee trim before sticking the dye on later.
Good thing about short hair is disasters never last long

The ends of my hair are disgusting, matted, dry and hideous! I will get it cut soon but I'm just waiting until I'm back in the uk so I can go somewhere decent. My hair is what I'd class as all the shades from auburn, to darkest brown with patches of grey mixed in for fun!

I cut my own hair so snip at it a lot.
DH came home and said oh you look like the person from The Following, Im hoping he meant Valorie Curry and not Kevin Bacon

Ha ha! 😂

It hasn't gone well I'm now sitting with a head of bleach on
I really need to let it go grey again

What colour is it becoming? I'm nervous for you!

Well the red didn't counteract the green.
Streaked some bleach through it. It looked shit and a million different colours so stuck a load on and my roots stayed bright orange 🍊.
Poor DH came in from work and went straight back out to get me more.
I have also burnt my forehead 😷.
I've said it before but never again!

Oops....I've only ever bleached/stripped my hair twice and I won't do it again. Purely because it completely ruins my hair. The knots are unrelenting!
