Do it yourself gone wrong

Recently ive been getting full heads of blode highlights. Expensive and so privey I decided to go to a more affordable option the hair college. Right beside my college so it made perfect sense to go. It was easy, convenient and free!! I went from a medium brown to a honey blonde within 6 full heads of highlitgshs. On the third set I could really see a good change of colour. 

At first I was very hesitant to go to such a bright blonde and that’s why it took me so many months to get an all over blonde colour. For most people this only takes 3 months as they use bright blondes with honey tones. I only wanted honey tones. I had a section of my hair that were never hightened aroud my side fringe to give a more natural effect to my hair. For months as my highlights grew out I had no roots. It was the best idea I had ever heard of.

One night I got it into my hair, that I wanted to be bright blonde, all over. Ignoring all the honey tones just pure blonde. I went to my nearest tesco extra and bought two boxes of XXL live blonde die in 00a.I had previously used this hair dye a year ago when I was my naturally colour, which is a mousey light brown/blonde colour. Disaster my whole head went bright orange and yellow all over.

 

For some reason I taught if I had highlights in my hair it would go the gorgeous platinium colour on the outside of the box.

 So I opened the box and followed every single warning on. Making sure to only highlight my roots and not to place it on the dye that was already in the highliths. Light with light will only go lighter. 

Sadly within 10 minetes I could see my hair go a fantastic orange colour. Which I hated. L I was so sad to see months of colouring my hair had been destroyed in seconds. So I left it in for 30 more minetes as the box said. And my hair looked ginger, orange and yellow all over it was awful.

 The next day I woke up hoping that it would have faded. Sadly, this didn’t happen and my hair had only gotten brighter as it dried over night. I called peter marks and booked in for a full head of highlights, all over  colour and contrasting low lights. Kate 0 – Bank Balance 1 

I taught my doing a home kit I would save hundreds of euro, but actually I ended up spending three times what I would have spent! Lesson is learnt and I will never home die my hair again. 

On the plus side my hair is blonder than I ever wanted it to be and thank god for my hair dresser I no longer have orange hair! Do NOT try this at home!!
