Dying ombré hair at home

[palmleafsinwinter]

Like many it's been a very long time since I sat in a hairdressers chair! Last year when my hair was done I wasn't particularly happy because my hairdresser hadn't brought the blonde in my ombré style as close to the roof as I'd like it.

That was 8 months ago and so my roots are very long and dark now and I have blonde bra length hair.

I really want to dye it brown in keeping with my natural colour at least to get through the next couple of months (I spend my working day on teams calls so I am constantly seeing myself!)

My hairdresser has said I should wait but honestly it's just getting me down... (silly I know in the scheme of things as we have much bigger things to worry about)

I wonder if anyone has experience of dying their blonde hair dark at home and can help please?

Bump, anyone? X

Chancing my luck bumping this for the final time

Hi OP, so you are naturally dark and want to cover your bleached ends to match the top? If so then yes it will be very easy as long as you colour match the shade carefully obviously.

Just remember that if you are wanting to go back to ombre after lockdown though it may take a lot of lifting (i.e. potential damage/money) to get those blonde ends back.

Alternatively you could just join my trend of shoving it in a top knot and pretending the world isn't happening right now!

Good luck!

Yeh its easy to do, if its very light blonde you'll have to put red pigment on it first.

If not you'll need to use a warm brown with red tones. This will stop it looking green., avoid any ash toned browns!
I did mine from very light blonde to chocolate brown a few years ago but I put a bright red colour mousse that time before the brown to re pigment it. It may fade unevenly where it was blonde but a salon colour will too.
I'm blonde again now which as a pp said, took ages to get back to.....
