Queen Bee Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Argh, found out today i can't get my hair done My friend did a strand test on my hair with the bleach and it went ginger, so she said she would get this other kind of bleach that is designed to cut through black dye and test thatPhoned me this morning and she said Sallys dont stock it anymore you can only get it directly from Wella and you have to have a Wella card to order from themMy only other option is to have the colour stripped but i know that will absolutely wreck my hair, im gonna just have to either be patient and let it grow out a bit more and maybe get it cut, or just keep on dyeing it black coz theres no way im going to the hairdressers to get it done, my friend does my hair for dirt cheap and shes really good so ill just wait and let her deal with it eventuallyi've had my hair stripped twice and i've bleached the front white before lol, the first time i bleached my hair from black it went ginger too, but then i bleached it again and it went white, then i used a toner to make it blonde. if you're really sick of the black (like i was) i would just bleach it till it's light enough then use a toner on top to get the colour you want. your hair will be damaged straight afterwards (mine was so bad that if i rubbed a strand between my fingers it would disintegrate) but i deep conditioned like crazy, used hot oil every day for like 2 weeks and after that it was ok.the only thing i regret about bleaching my hair now is that the part i bleached doesn't curl very well, but if you wear your hair straight it shouldn't be a problem. i say go for it, but only if you are prepared to look after your hair really well for the next few weeks as it will be damaged. i used smart blonde platinum blonde bleach. i've heard schwarskoff is one of the least damaging.edit: this blog is really helpful when bleaching your hair - http://killerstrands.blogspot.com/ Cheers Flapjacks that blog is really useful, have bookmarked it and will be using it as reference next time i decide to colour my hairHowever i have decided the way im going to deal with it is to colour my roots with a dark brown, so it will be a different colour to my ends but the difference wont be so obvious, making it less likely for me to give up and chuck a black over the topI like my hair black but i want to be able to have the option to change it if i get bored without having to wait forever before i can change it, so from now on i will just use darkest brown (which looks black anyway) and when summer rolls around again i can have some blonde in there without all this hassle!!

Queen Bee Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 ^^^ Paper bag curls???/FINALLY found somewhere that will strip the black out of my hair and colour it for me, and its costing me next to nothing!! wont be happening for a few weeks yet as i have other things i need to spend my money on before luxuries like my hair lol, but its good timing as i was eyeing up a box of black hairdye the other day and i nearly purchased it, would have been back to square one again!!

Queen Bee Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 i never brush my hair before washing it, more often than not it would be impossible anyway coz my hair gets so tangled over the course of a day its like one big knot by night time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nola D Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 finally dying my hair in the next couple weeks booked it, gonna go for a golden brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Bee Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Being quite patient with growing my hair out at the moment, still looks a bit strange as its blonde on top and black at the ends But i think im gonna get it stripped some time in the next few weeks anyway and go dark brown, my friend said if i buy the hair she will do me some extensions for free (not weave either proper bonded extensions) which is good coz my hair cant handle weave anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ella Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I'm pissed off with my hair right now, it's stuck at the same bloody length. All I want is bra strap length hair dammit - I'm so close yet so far. Oh and if you see my edges they're shocking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KayGee Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 I really hate doing my hair, i wish i could take the same time i do with skincare and makeup but it just doesn't interest me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechalk Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Me too. I'm known for never being arsed with my hair, I literally don't give a sh*t, I just put it up. Everyone always says when I make like 5% effort oh wow your hair looks gorgeous. A 4 year old said to me the other day "Aunty Emma... your hair is a mess" I was like ok maybe it's time for an intervention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
