To dye hair before holiday over dye?

[moveblues]

I'm off on holiday and my hair looks crap.
I had it done about 6 weeks ago- dyed, it was meant to be highlights but ended up a blended two tone (dark brown on top as hair naturally brown) reddy purple through length. It looked cool

I'm off on holiday tomorrow and thinking of whacking some red ish (brown red lilac) dye on today, but I'm worried about the colour discrepancy (burnt orange ish through length, dark brown, natural dark brown at the top).

Would you chance it?

I'd never chance a box dye myself- too many disasters and hairdressing lectures after the event.

Are you off somewhere hot? Bear in mind that sunscreen, sun and seawater all atrip colour so anything you do will need restoring when you get back.

Am I right in thinking you have an ombre brunette purple effect? I'd personally keep it till the tips have grown out. Then cut it off and start again on healthy hair.

Too risky....don’t do it

Thanks both - opted out!
