Bleached hair disaster ...pics included,did I do right thing?

[lookinbaxn]

I have been bleaching my hair for over 4 years
It ended up so thin and snapping plus wispy at the ends
Anyway I got my hair dyed back brown yesterday and just feel awful
I don't even look like me anymore
It's so intense
Did I do the right thing?

I'm naturally brunette

Wow it looks so much healthier brown. It looks lovely with your skin tone too. Great decision

The second pic looks much better than the first OP !

It is really nice! Lovely colour. I’m sure once you get used to it you will be fine but I’m sure it’s a massive shock looking in the mirror expecting to see blond you and seeing brunette you. It will be much better for your hair.

I wish in a way I had got a few caramel pieces put in so it wasn't so one colour (if that makes sense )
I'm booked back in in 6 weeks so I might get them to add some
But maybe it will fade

It'll take you some time to get used to it because it's such a big change but I think you did the right thing - you look great!

It looks absolutely fab. It'll take some getting used to but you made the right decision for sure.

It’s probably a shock for you but honestly the blonde looks awful. Much nicer darker

Very sensible decision, your hair looks so damaged before, I’m sure that’s not the look you want. It looks nice now, and as you say you can always have minor adjustments next time you go in.

Honestly, it looks really really good OP - it's just going to take a bit of getting used to for you!

Adding some subtle caramel highlights next time would also look nice, but worth waiting for that appointment I think and seeing how you feel when it's a bit less of a shock.

Yeah I think maybe once I wash and style myself I will feel better.
My next appointment isn't for 7 weeks so plenty of time to decide what to do
Deffo not going back to the heavy bleach as my hair honestly was wrecked
I wish I could find the picture of the back to show you all

It looks brilliant, honestly.

You definitely did the right thing, it looks gorgeous now!

That is a hundred times better !

I think its nice OP

Bleach can be an utter nightmare for Me and it washes me out (naturally brunette).
I am red now.

Looks gorgeous! Much warmer and classier IMO.

Your hair will fade massively so it won't be that dark when you go back in 7 weeks.

I was starting to feel really washed out with the blonde and because it was so bleached a bit naff

Ah thanks everyone
I feel a lot better now

Sooooo much nicer - you've made the right choice going natural. It's lovely on you. I like how she styled it too - much more on trend and flattering that the straight hair.

I went darker and it does take some getting used to.
Bear in mind that the colour will fade/lighten a bit over time as the bleached hair probably won't hold all of that colour. But then you can decide if you prefer something slightly lighter or get the brown colour freshened up again at your next appointment.
I agree that it looks healthier.

It looks so much healthier with the brunette colour.

The brunette is so much better, your hair looks lovely.

It looks really lovely.

Yes
This is what happened to Me.
Years ago I had to have 40 volume peroxide but the last time (a year or so ago now) they used 30.
It dries out naturally brunette hair terribly as well.

It looks so healthy! Deff the right move. I also struggled and wished I got more colours but I'm used to it and love it now
