How soon can I re-color my hair?

Mominator

About 3 weeks ago I was bored and decided to go light brown after being blonde for 35 years. Well, I hate it. I thought that it might grow on me but it hasn't. I want to go back to blonde but didn't know if it was too soon. Should I wait a few more weeks or do you think it would be okay to do it now? fwiw: i color my hair at home.

If you try to color it blond right now, I don't think you're going to get your desired result. Did you do a wash out, grow out, or fade out color?

I would wait 4-6 weeks in between coloring

It is fine to color again. You might have to do it a few times before you get the blond you had before. Have you ever tried a brown that had red in it? I bet that would look nice.

I also color at home. My last two go arounds, I didn't like the first color, so I made an emergency trip to the store (with hat) to get another color. It's probably not the ideal way to do it, but I've had worse. The only suggestion I can make is that since you are going from dark to light, make gradual steps. If you try to put platinum over brown, it usually turns some form of orange.
