Hi all *waves*
I must admit I've always been a massive lurker here forwarding my recent hair events have left me no choice but to stand up and be counted!
My names Issy and I'm in the UK. When natural I have a ton of dark brown hair that's nearly boon length. Unnaturally I've been many colours in the past, pink, green, blue, purple, black, blonde and pretty much white blonde too.
I lo ed my natural look until I suddenly wanted my my long fringe mermaidy colours. I kind of managed it by using two lots of bleach two weeks apart. The correct lightness was achieved and all was good. And then I fell in love with it. Deeply madly all genuineness out the window love. I decided I NEEDED my hair all over like this *stars*
After 40 mins of having 40V bleach on my hair I could stand no more. I did the lengths first and left the roots until last. I tried my best to exclude my already light fringe. The colour looked fairly under under all the bleach so I thought it was light enough. How wrong could I be😱 Light orange, dark orange, yellow, white, Brown... I had it all lol. *ott*
Cue time to panic and slap on intended mermaids colours from Bleach London. Washed up mermaids and The Big Pink. I thought this might just cover the orange but in all honesty i am now more orange with lots of peach hues lol!!!
Please anyone can you tell me a way to look mildly normal? Not bothered what colour i go as long as it doesn't look like a mistake.
*boo* *anyone*
HUGE thanks in advance
Issy x

A red, dark pink/magenta or a warm purple will cover the orange areas.
I would choose a better brand than Bleach London, a strongly pigmented dye will give you better coverage. If you can wait and order online, Adore reds, violet Gem,purple rage or one of the Special effects reds or purples would work

Omg you are a genius!!!
Thank you thank you thankyou sooooooo much 😀
To know there a way out of this that doesn't involve bleach and may look even slightly better than the mess I'm in at the minuet puts a huge smile on my face!!!
I'm off to shop colours now. I'm guess those colours you mentioned won't do anymore damage? I've had to sleep in coconut oil for two days now to try and save my hair. *bee*

No, direct dyes aren't damaging at all, in fact they condition as they colour. It is the lightening process that can be damaging, not the colour. You should never use 40 vol BTW it is too strong, 30 vol is the highest you should ever use for an all over application.
