OMG, what have I *DONE* to my hair!!!

Long story short, I didn't go to my regular stylist OR salon (biggest mistake) and then my 'natural brown' turned fuscia!! Seriously!!

So, they tried three more times to 'tone it down' and so now it's black and purple!!!

OMG

My husband is being so good about it... I went immediately into the shower and shampooed it 8 times, and the foam was STILL bright [nearly flourescent] pink.

*ARGH*

And the cut is a little off - but I don't mind it as much as the colour.

I'm going to have to ring them back and try to work something out with them... Wish me luck

i actually think it looks good

[OzBudgetBeauty]

@heemlorjio Thanks - this is what I have to keep reminding myself of. While I might not be a fan, there are bound to be heaps that DO like it so all is not lost. It's actually significantly longer now (considering this mishap was a year ago) but it's not as long as it would be if they didn't cut 6 inches off it!

it doesnt look that bad it would look better if it was a lil longer

[OzBudgetBeauty]

@xstoriesx1998 I know. That was the whole point! They totally butchered the colour AND the 'style/cut.' It was supposed to be a 'tidy up' or 'trim' buty they had to lop inches off due to the damage 'cause of the colour stuffups! It's been around a year, and it's finally getting a little longer - but now I'm a year behind my growing schedule! grrr.

I did this a few months ago! XD I tried to dye it a light reddish brown and (bc my hair was bleached) turned a dark dark magenta purple color. Pretttty awful.

@Gainsborough07 Obviously, then, we can understand how gross it feels. What makes it worse for me, though, was that this was done at a SALON! They totally screwed my hair up, then hacked the style out of it. I had it fixed by my SIL's stylist (who's now my stylist) and she honestly couldn't believe a salon had botched a job THAT bad!!! It took me ages to convince her I'd not done it myself and just blamed someone else!

[heemlorjio]

yeah i know what you mean, a couple of years ago the hairdresser gave me a bowl cut and it was awful

[OzBudgetBeauty]

I've bee back twice since, and they still can't seem to 'fix' it. The [colour] company's own technician-expert can't seem to figure it out either. *sigh* I think I'm going to have to get it bleached out and go blonde again, which is what I was trying to avoid seeing as that was what made it dry and brittle in the first place.

*sigh*

Don't worry about it, I've got purple hair at the moment!! Mind you, mine was on purpose.. ;) Still, it's more pink-purple than the blue purple I was after. At least I can shave mine if I want..

Good luck with it though.

[OzBudgetBeauty]

Yeah... it's winter now down under, so I guess if there's EVER a time to go this dark, now would be it... *laughs* AND, as hubby has suggested... it wouldn't be out of place if I just decided to cover it up with a beanie... *laughs*
