Any hairdressers? Orangy roots!

Mammaaof · 15/05/2021 20:52

So I was quite blonde anyway but with dark stretched roots so thought I'd to blonde all over. I used high lift from Sally's and 9% but the roots are a tad orange! Any advice?? I've tried purple shampoo on dry hair. I was going to try 12% on the roots tomorrow if anyone can advise if this will help?

I don’t understand why you’re both being so horrible to the op.

mn81987 · 16/05/2021 17:03

Who's been horrible?
We've been straight talking, not filled her head with bullshit like other people have!
You do realise it's dangerous chemicals! Still baffles me that people can just go and buy these things themselves!

@roughrug I've literally cringed the whole way through this thread!

Me too. But I guess for different reasons.

@Bluntness100 🤣🤣🤣🙄🙄🙄

The two moaning hairdressers on here should be ashamed of themselves. I always had full blonde through my hair done at a hairdressers but in this past year I've been indoors with a very sick kid, had to leave my job, no money.

Because of what I usually have done, I was stuck with "the look" and needed to do the up keep myself. Fortunately there's a wealth of info on the internet and in forums and I've done okay, bar a few hiccups!

Havent a mean spirit isn't a good look

@roughrug embarrassed for you and your “secrets” Hmm

mn81987 · 16/05/2021 17:30

Omg do not use that that toner!! It's not light enough to use a toner it will not do anything to the roots.

@roughrug

As a hairdresser the best advise is ....

Don't colour your own hair!

I know why this has happened but it's taken years of training so I'm not going to give my knowledge away!

People really do think it's easy!... until it goes wrong

I'll be looking forward to the commentsSmile

Good luck!

What a shitty comment!!
mn81987 · 16/05/2021 17:35

I mean it looks green but as long you like it that's all that matters.

Why not recommend something that will help OP then?????

Op I’ve used the toner, it took the brassyness out of my hair and doesn’t leave the streakiness like purple shampoo does

languising · 16/05/2021 17:36

@roughrug

Haha! It's not about getting over myself it's about people in general undervaluing hairdressers and thinking they can do it themselves. There's a reason we train for years.

And by the way... so far you are all wrong!

I dye my own hair and it look amazing.

Hairdressing is piss easy. Honestly, get over yourself!!

Koolandorthegang · 16/05/2021 17:36

Good woman, glad you got a lovely result in the end. Don’t mind those “hairdresser” pair of clowns. Full of their own self importance and nothing better to do

selfieelf · 16/05/2021 17:36

Looks fab and good for you prioritising your kids!

mn81987 · 16/05/2021 17:36

I did recommend something for her! I recommended that she go to a hairdresser!

Why not suggest something to help, rather than make shitty comments?

@mn81987 not green it was the reflection off my tree 😊😊

She can't afford a pissing hairdresser else she wouldn't be here.

What box dye was that? I'm tempted myself as root upkeep would be easier

What a fucking spiteful comment.

Read what OP put in her last post and decide whether you think your response was warranted.

Mammaaof · 16/05/2021 17:46

@selfieelf it was this one! No doubt the "hairdressers" on this thread will say that this is the worst box dye ever 😂

Fab thanks! Well if it goes wrong I at least know who not to ask for advice!
