Advice needed on hair colouring (merged)

I would definitely wear it up, it looks professional and would save the worry about getting it cut in time.

I am a bit of an 80s girl I can wear it up at the front with it 'big' on top and then down at the back. I think I will buy some grips later and dye it and wear it that way. It's a shame I don't suit it more sleek etc, but I just look plain daft if I wear it up/back, I don't want them to think I'm the school matron :rotfl:

I have naturally mousey coloured hair and I have it highlighted at a salon quite regularly, I had it done a nice ash colour last time then went on holiday and it went a fair bit lighter.
I'm now due for more highlights but I'm thinking about just dying it myself at home (an ash blonde colour), as it will be much more money saving.
I wondered, will it be ok to put home hair dye on top of highlights? Or will it go green and orange?:rotfl:
Thanks for any advice!

I would snip some off and to a test on it before going for the whole head.

Green is easy to treat with ketchup - i found this one out when I went swimming in a really chlorinated pool years ago and it left my poor blonde hair green. Quick phone call to my cousin (hairdresser) and voila ketchup head!

Is there a color remover which takes out permanent hair dye?

I had tried to dye my blonde highlighted hair brown but it went orangey and nothing like the brown it was supposed to be so I decided to try to strip the colour out again.

Scared the hell out of me halfway through as my hair looked strawlike and yellowish but it ended up fine.

I then dyed it the colour it was originally supposed to be.

Disclaimer: Dont blame me if you end up with green hair / no hair at all. :rotfl:

it depends on what colour you have died it?

OP. Go to your local Sallys, or most hair dressers suppliers, and you'll find a couple of colour removers, usually cheaper than you'd get on ebay. They don't all sell to the general public, but most do.

It's probably best to give them a call first and they can tell you what they've got.

I should add though , that ideally it might be best to have a chat with a hairdresser first, as sometimes permanant colours can be tricky to remove.

I put a red color on. Nothing wrong with it to be honest, it's just looking a bit faded now and I'd like to go back to my natural color if possible.
