Word of warning to anyone considering bleaching their hair themselves, unless your an expert, DONT!
my hair is dyed blond and i always use a tint to do the roots but for some reason i thought ide use bleach, BIG MISTAKE! my freekin hair went yellow:eek: . one was not amused. 2hours in the hair dressers and £50 later it was sorted today. what a tube i am. never again will i use bleach.
im laughing now even though im 50 quid down but i wasnt laughing with yellow hair.

this was a public safety announcement!

ps. my hair looks great now, thank god for professionals

i got mine done once at the hairdressers and they left it on too long and my strawberry blond locks went white :eek:

and i couldn't get a comb through my hair either...then it started falling out.

had to go back to the hairdressers twice a week for a deep conditioning, have about 5 inches chopped off and a darker semi permanent put on - they paid for it all like, but it was a nightmare.

It took me 4 years to think about getting colour done again, but my last lot of highlights was perfect

Iv'e done it at home without any poblems. Ok, so it does look a little yellow right after it's been done, by it quickly calms down after a few days. But them I'm a bloke, and I don't care about whether it looks natural, as that's not the look I'm going for anyway.
But then again, my hair goes how I want it with a lightening kit, so it's not that harsh on my hair.

that sounds like a plot to a really disastrous made-for-tv movie
