Damaged Brassy Hair:-( I got my hair professionally dyed a light blonde color and hated it, I didnt

At first, I wanted my hair a shade lighter than what I had it!! So I decided to do it myslef with a home kit to save more money. Unfortuanately my hair turned bright orange. So I went to the salon and they dyed it for me and it is close to my hair color which is a chesnut brown but it is brassy and has black all mixed in. Also my hair feels drying and brittle. My scalp also feels tender. Should I cut my hair or just let it grow out. Is there any shampoos, conditioners, etc to take out the brassiness and restore my damaged hair? Or I just have to let it grow out? Is my hair going to fall out? Is is permately damaged? Is there any proper way to take care of hair the is damaged so I wont have to cut my hair. How long will it take for my hair to go back to normal? I have mixed hair! Thank You!!! Will the maynonaise conditioner work to restore the damage?

Shimmer Lights is a purple shampoo that might work for the brassiness. You can find it at most drug stores or Sally Beauty Supply.

use a hot oil treatment to replenish your hair.

It's VERY hard to for a hair dresser to fix your hair after you've box dyed it... box dye - very bad, and very hard to get out.

All is not lost, I go to a very expensive salon, and it it is worth it, you should switch salons and find out which one is the BEST near you.

Get some salon-quality shampoos that will save your hair... Pureology Hydration is AMAZING...sold in most salons. Its about 40 dollars, but will last FOREVER. its amazing..

Use a good shampoo and conditoner and dont dye your hair again for awhile. Then, after about 6 weeks, go back (to a better salon) for a colour correction.

Also, leave your conditioner on for longer...about 20 mins...and wrap your hair in towel. Its good for deep conditioning.

Dont do the mayonnaise thing...mayonnaise stinks and doesnt really improve your hair that much.

unfortunatly, once hair is that damaged there is not much u can do to save it. i recomentd a high quality deep conditioner. i kno u dont want to but u might want to get ur hair cut short. that way new healthy hair will grow out and once its long enough u can cut off the dammaged ends that u didnt get off wen u got it cut short. this next thing is very important. DO NOT DYE YOUR HAIR AGAIN!! thats wats damaging it anding making it look brassy. also if ur hair is real damages dont blow dry streighen of curl ur hair. let it go natural and get a shampoo for damamged hair....garnie helped me and it not that xpensiv...hope that helps!

No hun,you don't have to cut it,just be very patitent with it now every day you're going to have to put a LOT of conditioner,let it be inyour hair for longer time and then rinse it,then you can get any leave on condition,it works for mr everytime i have to do my hair i put on the leave on condition and voila!!!nice and softthe hair mayo works too but i think you can only use it once or twice a week,good luck.

do not dye your hair again,

there ain't much you can do about the colour but you can put olive oil in your hair to make your hair less dry and softer, and yes mayonnaise dose work as a good conditioner, but it smells

first of all, calm down before you do anything else you'll regret. your hair is damaged from all the processes, but not destroyed. don't use home treatements! get a good conditioner (not hot oil because your hair is too fragile) and condition it well and fequently - it is craving moisture! next, to cut the brassiness, get a shampoo that will add blue - there are a number of varieties available. the blue will help to counteract the brass color. the black parts are because your hair was too dry before the salon got a hold of it, so it grabbed color too quickly. if the condition and texture doesn't begin to improve after about a week or two, you may want to get a couple inches cut off. frequent trims might be more manageable than wacking it all off. also, if the health of your hair is easy to restore you can try another -VERY MILD- process in the future to cut the brassiness, just as semi-perm (which can only darken) or tint to slightly alter the tone. good luck.

You cannot re color it, unless to go to a very high end salon who may be able to fix it. You will know they are good if they say no! Aside from that you will have to trim it as much as you can, and do it every 4 weeks until the worst is grown out. In the meantime used the best treatments you can once a week and try not to wash or brush it too much. Keep it in a pony tail. Use a baby shampoo and a good conditioner. Don't rub too much.

I was a hair model for years and had my hair ruined more times than I can remember. Time is the only thing that will help. Do not put any chemicals on it at all until it is grown out!

Okay, sorry to hear about your salon experience. Some of the orange- brassy color should of gently been removed prior to recoloring with a semi- perm product. Conditioning designed to work with hair color could of also been applied to help protect the hair. My guess is that they threw a perm too dark of color over the whole thing with 20 vol and added heat. Not a good idea. Since no bleach was involved I doubt your hair is going to fall out, is it not permanently damaged, your hair will not go back to normal on it's own until it grows out. Here is the good news. A moisture and protein conditioner such as Redken Extreme will help you in two ways. It will strengthen your hair and slightly pull out some of the cruddy too dark of color. Follow directions- more is wasteful not helpful. Find a color correction specialist. When your hair is able to handle it they can remove a little of the dark brassy and tone with a gentle cool semi perm color.
