Can't get my highlights redone for a while - what should I do?

[InYerFace]

Apologies if there are lots of similar threads!

Cancelled my hair appointment this morning as there are lots of elderly people who go there and would never forgive myself if I passed something on. Or picked something up that I passed on to my mum who relies on me.

I know it's a stupid thing to be worried about in the scheme of things, but if anyone out there knows the best way to help me, please help cos I'm a right mess already.

I have grown-out blonde highlights, dark brown roots but lots of grey in there as well (but currently more dark than grey, iyswim). Should I dye the whole lot dark with home dye? What will happen to the blonde bits?

Or just leave it because no one's going to see me anyway?! Plus I will want the blonde highlights again when everything eventually gets back to normal!

I’m in this situation too. I wouldn’t bleach my hair myself, but I do want highlights again in the future so I’d have to wait until we’re over the worst of it to go to my salon.

It would look so much better in the interim if I went back to my natural brunette colour, but then I’d have to start my current blonde colour over again later and undo all the current progress/cause unnecessary damage etc. It will look awful if I leave it to grow out through!

Browzingss - I ended up buying the brunette root spray that people mentioned on this tread, and was really impressed! It was really easy to use, covers the grey perfectly, but also blends in with the blonde highlights so it does look more ombre (I might be fooling myself). But it honestly doesn't look too bad at all.

your hair looks great. Which of the two colours you posted is the lighter shade on your hair?

(the shade in the two lighter streaks that are immediately to right of the blackout on your face)

Tanfastic. can give us the name of the YouTube blogger you mentioned. Your hair looks great.
