I've had a hair colour disaster ðŸ˜I've went back this morning to speak to the hairdresser who basically told me nothing can be done and just keep washing it and it will fade. WTF.
I have lots of very thick mid-dark brown hair. I've been box dying for about 4 years to keep greys in check and last year fancied a change as it was quite flat and boring and always had a reddish tinge which I wasn't that keen on. I took lots of pictures of what I would describe as chestnut / dark honey coloured look- she convinced me highlights and a toner were the answer and as she's a highly regarded colourist, I trusted her. I liked it initially but as the toner faded it was increasingly yellow and too warm against my grey. I went elsewhere and explained I found my colour too orange / warm and maybe somehing a bit cooler. She said going a bit darker would be the answer and I'd still have some shade and movement from the highlights but calm the yellow and leaning more to my natural colour.
It's really bloody dark - roots are very dark brown and where my highlights start, it's just a sort of mousey brown with some shit layers which I could have done with a £6.99 box dye. I'm almost ready to give up on professional colour but in the meantime, is there anything I can do? I look totally washed out and whilst the highlights were too warm, it looked a million times better than this ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
I've lived in sun hats this past week but have various events coming up including family wedding and milestone birthday and feel really miserable about my appearance.
