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?

Much better brown. The blonde is awful.

The darker hair looks fantastic. Much healthier and a beautiful tone. In the the blonde hair you can really see the damaged ends. You made the right decision.

Colour looks great! Condition looks much better, too. I did this years ago and although I felt the brown "wasn't me" at first, it did fade out gradually, so it will get lighter and you will like it better.

Looks fab! And think of all the expense spared now as your hair grows and doesn't need colouring!

Colour really suits you.

I'm light brown and grey now, always natural and saves a fortune!

God your hairdresser shouldn't have let your hair get in that condition.
Definitely better now to look at but use a very good hair treatment as the damage is still there underneath.
I was a redken colour technician for years and I definitely wouldn't have carried on colouring your hair.

So much nicer brunette x

One more vote for the brown. It looks much nicer. If that blonde was professionally done, I think your hair dresser needs to go back for more training (unless you insisted over her protests of course).

This makes me want to dye mine dark! It looks fab on you!

It was too light before, it definitely looks healthier now. Can’t tell from the pic but sometimes with ageing people need to go for a lighter brown over time so perhaps get a few highlights or go for a slightly lighter tone next time if you feel it’s a bit harsh?

The blonde hair looks like straw.
Your new colour is lovely and suits your skin tone really well.

The brown suits your skin way better.

The blond was almost white, kinda like a Barbie doll. I don’t think that colour suits anyone except the very young.

Try the brown for a few weeks then if you want to get a few golden highlights. But not white blond!

It looks so much better ! And a lovely shade too

Gosh it looks so much better!

l love your hair being brown. Is looks amazing!

Definitely healthier brown, i recently did the same thing :) and my hair looks so much better brown, yes it took some getting used to but know it’s for the best :) and now I actually prefer it

I also took my hair back to a darker colour recently. Mine was not all over bleached but highlighted regularly for years This plus the hot weather last year mant it was far too light and unnatural looking. I then had just a few lighter bits put in at the next appointment and it now looks far more natural.

The brown looks far better on you.

It looks gorgeous brown!

I'm always tempted to go back to my natural brunette but chicken out. I did recently have about 7 inches chopped off and that made a huge difference.

Oh, that's much better! You'll soon adjust to the reflection in the mirror.

Try to hold off any more dye until your natural shade has grown through - at the moment it looks much healthier, but you need full regrowth for it to actually be healthier. It won't take as long as you think.

sorry but the first photo looks horrendous!! looks fake and cheaply done and old :( i think brown looks 20 years younger

Also the blonde doesnt look blonde it looks like yellow straw

You could have some caramel put in to break it up. Looks much nice than the blonde which is very Barbara Windsor imo. It'll just take a while to get used to.

You might want to tweak your makeup with darker hair

If you get any lighter bits put in that's more strong chemicals to lift off the brown. Please leave it alone and nourish it.

It looked like straw before , it looks a million times better now.

It looks lovely :)
