hair colouring

[west ham fan]

I have got long blonde hair which has been coloured and bleached by the hair dressers with weaves, the problem is due to lack of money I now haveroots of a couple of inches showing my dark hair. I feel that it would be cheaper for me to go back to dark hair, but I am affraid that it may turn green, any good advice I can not afford a hairdresser if I could I would stay blonde.cheers

If you can't afford a hairdresser, then I'd go into one and ask for their advice at least about the colouring - even if you fib (naughty me) and say you're thinking of getting your hair coloured there. Some hairdressers (especially in larger areas/cities etc) have evenings/days when they have trainees doing the hair so you can get a hair style etc for next to nothing so that may be an option to explore. Alternatively if you have any colleges near you they may offer the same kind of thing.

I have just gone back to brown from bleached blonde, I know how you feel about the regular maintenance and cost of roots! I went to a salon as it is tricky, but they coated it RED first. (bright orange really) and dried it completely before putting the brown on. The colourist explained that although this looked shocking (for all of 15 mins until dried and dyed) it was VERY IMPORTANT to have a red base to 'warm' the brown colour and stop any khaki shades bleeding through. It's worked wonderfully and perfectly matches my roots. There has been slight fade where the bleach is bleeding through but it just looks like lighter brown highlights, nothing drastic. (it's been nearly 3 months). I recommend if you can, go to a salon and just grin and bear the cost one LAST time as bleached hair reacts so differently to 'normal' hair. If that's not possible, put a red base on it first and dry before dying.
Good luck!
