Highlights Gone bad...
So, some of you knew I was getting my hair highlighted yesterday. My brother's GF is a hair school graduate. She came over and did the highlights. While I was washing the stuff out, I noticed huge clumps of blonde falling into the sink. She started acting weird and saying "oh it's just the normal hair that you always lose". I realized at that point that something was wrong... I started running my fingers through it and clumps were just disintegrating in my hand. She and my bro left pretty quickly. The color looks faboo, but yeah, now half of it is falling or going to fall out (or at least break off). I read up online that it was because she left the bleach in too long. So i spent the rest of the night first with a deep conditioner in my hair, then mayo.
I spoke to a friend that owns a hair salon (with a great rep) today and now I have to color the hair back. it still may need to be cut off, but this is a first step in seeing how much we can salvage.
Needless to say, I will never let bleach touch my hair again. I'm a mess.
Re: Highlights Gone bad...
ok so here's the scoop. We are using a protein filler then coloring back to the darker red to get some pigment back into the hair and make it not look like straw and to give it some more nourishment. I'm using a demi-permanent color made from soy and with no ammonia so it won't damage the hair at all. Plus the developer is only level 10 as well.
My hair looks SO weird. The colors look cool in some spots and in others it's blatant where she screwed up. UGH! I swear I am never letting bleach near my hair again.
Here's what the healthy part looks like:
And here's the straw on the end...
