Bronze Fade
How can I get my natural hair colour back? My hair is currently a yucky bronze colour.?
I had my dark hair colour stripped 8 months ago because I wanted to go lighter. I am naturally a light ash blonde. My hairdresser stripped my colour, and it then went bright bright orange, which she got rid of by putting a semi colour over it…
I had to go back often because everytime the hair colour faded it went orange again!
Now, it’s back to a very yucky artificial looking bronze shade. I have been growing it out for a while and I have about 2 inches of regrowth. I want to get my hair back to it’s natural colour, or very close. The salon has suggested i get blonde highlights, because colouring it won’t work. They insist that it will look pretty because it will tone down the bronzey/orange shades. I’m just not sure! Won’t you still be able to see the orange? I was hoping I could just dye my hair the same colour as my roots, and then maybe get some highlights.
please help. It’s very important to me.
i am in the same exact boat as you!! i dyed my hair a super light blonde about 6 months ago.. and i am sick of it. i had to get the roots done every couple of months.. and it just gets annoying. and when the hair starts to grow out even more the blonde starts to look more orange and fake! ugh! and i am a natural light ash blonde as well! i was talking with my hairstylist last week when i went in to get a trim, and i told her that i just want my natural color back. she said while my hair is still very dammaged from the processing of my previous dyes, i need to wait it out a little bit longer and get my hair healthier again. she gave me a trim and a deep condition and told me that i could come back in a month for a new color. she suggested the best way for me to get back to my natural color is to dye it one shade darker than the natural, and then get some golden blonde highlights. she said that it would be the best possible option as far as coloring my hair without completely damaging it, and that it would also be really pretty and natural looking.
so my suggestion would be to just get a trim and a deep condition for now.. let your hair breathe and rest for awhile. in a month (i know it’s a pain to wait.. ack!) you should go back in and tell them you really want it to be natural. try suggesting to them what my hair stylist told me. and no, you don’t want to put anymore lighter highlights in your hair.. it will emphasize the orange even more!!
i hope this helps! hang in there girl, i’m right there with ya!
