Hey Lisa, really sorry to hear your hair color went wrong. One of our resident Colorists wrote this article http://www.haircolorcode.com/hair-color-removal which is worth checking out.
I hope you are able to get it sorted, I have been in the same position myself and luckily a very talented Colorist managed to fix it (and it didn’t cost the world)
Good luck. Susie x
I dyed my hair brown from bleached blonde, putting a red dye over it before the brown to add red tones, it looked gorgeous..until i washed it. Now each time i was my hair more and more brown dye is coming out and patches of blonde are showing through. Why is this happening and what can i do about it?? Please help, thanks
Hey Melanie,
This will most probably be happening because bleach was originally used on your hair. It can take a while for a dark color to cover bleached blonde hair. Do not fret, in time this will eventually set.
For maintenance in between dying your hair, try to use color enhancing shampoos and conditioners for brunette hair.
I hope this helps.

I do my daughters hair. She likes trendy colors (pink,red and so on). It always says to bleach her hair first.. each time I have done this, the bleach doesn’t bleach it all evenly. It seems some spots just gont like to cover. Specifically at yhe crown and the front of her head. Its not awful but its definitly not EVEN. Could this be because she is a teen or am i missing something?
Hey Christine,
First of all, you are brave doing this alone and your daughter is lucky to have a mamma that dyes her hair for her, lovely!
So, the rules when using bleach are to apply evenly and with speed as it dries very quickly. Make sure the mixture is thick enough (so it doesn’t run off the brush), avoid the scalp as the heat from her scalp will speed up the process (this could prevent it from becoming uneven) and dye in sections. Keep checking the color whilst it is developing and before removing so that if you need to add any more before washing then you can.
I hope this answers your questions and let us know how you get on!
