Hair coloring question, help please?

I had a reeeeaaallly bad bleach job done to my hair and it ended up very damaged and broke off alot. It looks bad because my roots have been growing out. Since I've been on a very strict vitamin and conditioning/repairing shampoo regimen, when will it be safe to dye my hair back to its natural dark brown color from light blonde, if I can even do it at all? Since It's really short in the back, and longer in the front, I'm afraid that if I let it grow out and cut off the tips, it will be two different colours, what should I do?

Will vote for best answer.

Thanks!

Hey! Go into a Paul Mitchell salon and they can give you a PM Shine. It's not permanent, and it is actually good for your hair. Makes it REALLY shiny and conditioned. You can go brown, and it will TEMPORARILY cover up your ends, until your hair reaches a better condition. Everyone loves it, and if you don't have one near you, Redken has a great product like it too. Good Luck, this is the best thing for you right now without damaging your hair and leaving your blonde ends out = )

Your best bet is to wait it out if possible. If you really must color it, use a temporary color on it (not a permanent). It will be easier on your hair because it does not contain peroxide.

Dye it now. Hair dye has things in it that help replenish your hair. Notice how when you get a good dye job your hair feels all soft and silky, even before the conditioner?

you can color it at any time. get a conditioning color though. continue the conditioning treatments.

What has happend is that the bleach has pulled all the pigment out of the cortex of your hair. the cortex is the color holding place in your hair. the cuticle (the outside of your hair "shell") has opened up, like little windows to let all the pigment come out to make the hair very light. Basically your hair has lost it's spine (or what hold the color is now mush). When you put color back in your hair it will fill in all the open little "windows" from where you have pulled all of the pigment out with he bleach. you will tell a big difference once you fill in the cuticle of your hair with your natural color, AND BE HAPPIER!...

Good Luck, and Merry Christmas

wow . well i bleached the bottom of my hair about a month ago and i didnt like the fact when i straightened it the blonde looked unhealthier than the brown [the top of my hair] so i dyed it all black recently . it looks wayyyyyyyyyy healthier :] so maybe you should go to a salon and have them dye it . then ask about keeping it conditioned and moisturized . hope i helped !
