Regretting my ombre

[Miracle29]

Hi I'm looking for someone who has experience with this style or some reassurance. I had my hair done last Thursday I was so exited! I went to a different salon because the last one I went to I had trouble with and they did the opposite of what I wanted so anyway I havnt had a good hairstyle for years so decided to take the plunge and go for a ombre colour and long bob. My hair was quite long with layers and I had a good chop with no layers I love it but.. the colour not so sure. I've had dark brown root stretch with blonde ombre. Majority of my hair turned blonde no problem but the top want a bit orange, the stylist said it was something to do with the colour the old salon had used. Anyway she bleached it twice and toned it and it stayed orange and yellow. She said she didn't want to over process it too much in one sitting so shes booked me in for 3 weeks tine to have the top layer lightened again and all over toning. I was there 6 hours last time. I'm actually nervous it's not going to be the blonde I thought it would be. I know it's hard going in a salon and saying I want this colour and it can be hard to achieve that colour straight away but I was just shocked it was so brassy. I'm having to have it half up half down to hide the top layer until it's redone. Do you think a toner will work with it and tone it all down? I'm starting to regret it but disappointed because I really wanted to love it and just have a new confident me again and it's not done that. I've been feeling abit down about myself for a while now and just wanted to perk myself up and feel better. She really took her time with my hair and isn't charging me much in 3 weeks. Maybe I just need to get used to been blonde again but it's just that top layer of colour I'm not happy woth. The blonde I wanted was like a ash light blonde which again I know can be hard to achieve. I really want to love this colour it cost alot to have it done and I don't want to go through all that yo just dye it all back brown again please help and give me some opinions thankyou x

I am absolutely not a colour expert (lots on here though; hopefully one will be along soon). However, I do have bleached blonde hair that I tone to get rid of the yellow. I use Fudge clean blonde (and I've tried a SHITLOAD of purple shampoos - this one is by far the best). Get yourself a bottle and use of your blonde bits. It should cancel out the yellow tones until your next salon visit.

This was me a few weeks ago, although I suspect by the sounds of it yours turned out better than mine!

It was my ombre 'ends' that turned out golden yellow - I just couldn't get used to it. I tried the Fanola no yellow shampoo on dry hair and after the 3rd attempt it did turn down the brassiness but my hair was utterly ruined. I went & got a good cut & ive dyed it back over with a chocolate brown.

I feel so much better about my hair now, although I am gutted that I spent lots on getting the ombre done. I could've gone & was suppose to go back for another session to have it lightened again but my hair was fried.

I just don't suit blonde, caramel, toffee or any of those hair colour hues unfortunately.

If your hair isn't in too bad condition you could try the Fanola no yellow shampoo - but it really does dry our hair out. The John Frieda tone correcting shampoo is quite nice. Otherwise I'd say to keep it in condition until your next trip to the salon until you have it lightened again. Good luck I hope it works out for you.
