Help! Please! Absolute hair nightmare

[OhDearGodMyHair]

I just used L'Oreal Les Blondissimes Platinum on my hair. Big big mistake. I usually use Light Ash Blonde shades - mostly L'Oreal - and they're fine but oh my fucksy! This. This has come out psychadelic sunshine yellow with shades of ectoplasmic dayglo vomit and I am not joking. I'm in shock and don't know whether to laugh or cry!

I need to get this fixed today - NOW - and I'm begging advice on what colour to put on top of this to fix it.
No I cannot post a picture. I can't even look at myself in the mirror. You'll have to trust me - it's unbelievably fucking awful
Help please!

Anybody?

Do you have any purple shampoo? Or I've heard Ketchup is good for toning down blonde. Gonna need a pic OP

Yep need a pic or no sympathy

Head and shoulders the fuck out of it? Or is that a myth?

I think we need a pic of the colour to guage what might work though, sorry.

Ketchup is supposed to get rid of green tinges I think if that's what the ectoplasm vomit shade is...

Head and shoulders won't touch that! That's good for lightening up darker dyes though!
As pp said purple shampoo to dial down the brass.
Also can you get a dark ash blonde dye to tone it?
That's what I did when I attempted to do my own ombré! I had dark brown hair with bright yellow and orange ends. So I put a light ash brown dye over the top. It didn't get rid of how light my hair had gone but it cancelled out the gingery yellowness!
Good luck to thee!

Bleach London Silver Shampoo - Boots and Superdrug sell it. Put it like a dye, leave it 15 mins before washing out.

See the Hairdresser AMA thread!

Go to a hairdresser and get it looked at. Might be expensive but you don’t want to make it worse.

I have no idea what would work. If you are going to try i suggest picking one from the ideas here and try it, rather than scatter gun many of the suggestions. You won’t know what worked and the might interact - I doubt ketchup has been tested as a good hair treatment mixed with head and shoulders.

Hope it comes out OK.

Go to Sally's and get a toner, do not dye it again just yet

Thank you all.

I have an important meeting in London tomorrow morning. No time for hairdressers. No time for anything except a mercy dash to the supermarket for another colour I'm afraid so I'm going to go with the Dark Ash Blonde suggestion and pray to all of the Gods that I survive this! I feel like the biggest fucking numpty on the planet! Thanks for answering me in my hour of need!

Hijab for tomorrow's meeting?

Bruce - you joke but I'm already wondering along those lines. I'll look even more of a tit but at least not the kind of tit who can't colour their own hair at the age of 50 ffs.

So embarrassed!

I’ve done similar and for two days I’ve had yellow hair!

Today I’ve used Knight & Wilson pureplex 10.21 and it’s now no longer yellow!

It has however made the ends a silvery colour but actually I rather like it, it’s different!

Easy to use and no drips.

I have long thick hair and only needed one box.

I used a temporary dye to cover up my bleachy error as it won't lighten further and it was gentler on the hair!

This is the bastard that made my hair go yellow

I usually use this one but my stepdaughter gave me the Live one and I thought I would give it a go.

My hair turned day glo yellow!

The one I normally use

Yes Fireman - I've used that Stockholm one successfully in the past too - which is kind of why I thought today's one might be ok.

Day glo yellow - yes - that is completely it!

Anyway - I'll post later IF I manage to fix it. You might also never hear from me again

Please post a picture afterwards

My mother did this in the 80s on a Sunday night and had to go in to work on the Monday morning with bright yellow hair, she was mortified and wore a headscarf.

Ok - well - quick update. I did the Medium Ash Blonde and it has helped massively.
Huge thanks to everyone who answered and made suggestions.
It's not perfect and it's not a colour I'd have chosen but it gets me out of the immediate dayglo sunshine nightmare so I'm grateful - thank you!

Hiya I’d say to anyone do not use this at all !! Just went blue all over had to bleach again to get it all out !! Just another process I’ve had to put my hair through!! By the looks of things though it seems that so many of us have had this happen it’s so bad I feel sorry for anyone that this happens to it’s awful
