Oops, I phucked up my hair...AGAIN.

**Ophelia** · 09-02-2007, 02:16 PM

This is the second time in a row I've screwed up my hair when trying to color it myself. Last time, I colored it medium ash brown and then attmepted to put highlights in. the highlights were a shocking cranberry color. Thankfully, they faded and looked pretty good after about a week.

Today, I colored it medium brown/black. and I think I may have left it in too long becuz I never heard the timer go off and I got sucked into fanhost and so now its like jet black. i look like death on a cracker.

So, what now? Do I just keep washing it and hope it will fade to the nice soft dark brownish color I was going for? or should I do it over with a medium brown or will that make it worse? I guess I could always dust off my black lipstick and combat boots and try to work it, but I'm not sure I wanna go back to my Robert Smith look alike days.

Any suggestions?

or dear what are you always doing with your hair?

well, maybe you first try the washing and then, if it´s not working, you better should color it again

Ouch and no one wants to do that.

But I admire your pluck; I'm too much of a coward to do home colouring.

Does your hair feel burned?

ouch, that would be horrable

Is it permanent or temporary colour? I've found even the permanents tends to fade after a few washes so maybe wait and see if it fades a bit after a few washes.

If it's jet black then another colour over it might not have a lot of effect. I don't think it'd make it worse though, just might not make it any better.

No, its just dark. I'll just have to let it fade out like BM says. Hopefully its be better sooner than later.

**Ophelia** · 09-03-2007, 09:58 PM

You should post pics when this happens. We don't need your whole head, just a close up of the colors so we can see how bad it is.
