eep!

Hit a Sally. Get a box of Jheri Redding One and Only Color Fix. Use as directed for full lift. Repeat if needed. Deep condition.

While at Sally, get a bottle of Neutral Protein Filler and a bottle of medium or dark ash blonde, some peroxide (prolly 20 vol for hair base, 30 vol for highlights) plus a highlighting cap and some powder bleach.

Do your darker blonde base, condition, dry, pull through highlights, condition, dry.

You *may* need to tone the highlights.

I read that: "Go to a salon. Talk to a colorist."

I am utterly convinced that it sucks.

This seems very unlikely to me. What you've said about your thematic unit sounds very cool and right and I'm sure that will come across.

I read that: "go to a salon. Talk to a colorist."

Clearly we read the same way!

My last enpurpling has faded to pink, mostly, and when I went to redo it a few days ago I got all discouraged and mostly decided to cut all my hair off. I kind of want a bob but I don't want bangs, is that even possible?

Colorists?

Bah.

Now, GRANTED, my hair is tricky, but I do NOT trust colorists. I attempted a colorist. I had to fix my own hair.

I mean, that's what I would do, were I still using chemical dyes, and were I to want blonde. (Note: the closest I can get is "strawberry with gold highlights" due to my hair pulling red like whoa.)

I read that: "go to a salon. Talk to a colorist."

Every time I've let a colorist touch my hair, I've run screaming from the results and had to fix it at home. Professionals get to cut my hair. They do not get to color it.

[HA. Nobody saw THAT x-post coming...]

I kind of want a bob but I don't want bangs, is that even possible?

Yes, totally: [link]

Plei, you've mentioned the no chemical dyes a few times -- are you henna-ing now?

What blonde are you going for?

A dark honey blonde. Like this, I guess: [link] (The girl, not the pugs)

This seems very unlikely to me. What you've said about your thematic unit sounds very cool and right and I'm sure that will come across.

Thanks for the vote confidence!! I hope it goes well!!

I think you're fine to call.

Really? Even though the ad says "no calls?"

I used to dye my own hair but I kept ending up with brown patches on the back of my head and red patches on my ears and forehead. The only time I was ever disappointed by a pro she fixed it for free.
