Does anyone do their own blonde?

[Matryoshka]

Just wondering if anyone does their own blonde? if so what product do you use?
I've tried doing my own with the type of kit that comes with a hook and cap, but it didn't get close enough to the roots. I've seen other kits which come with a little brush or mascara wand type applicator... thinking of trying one of those next..... any recommendations?

i used to.. now i do my own brunette
blond is easier then dark i personally think.

i used to use nice and easy or the one with the mascara thing..but i would recomend doing it once the kids have gone to bed.. hehe

LOL no doubt my dh will end up doing it....

Okay i need help!

I bought a box which was supposed to be golden blonde but i don't really like the colour. I've bought another one which is much blonder and going to colour over the top.

Will this be okay??

Be careful! I think to many chemicals so close together will fry your hair. I'm having flash backs to when I used to change hair colour all the time!

yeah i don't think i'd put more blonde over the top of blonde

maybe you might need to see a hairdresser to do that?

Argh i need help!

Suffice to say blonding over blonde did not turn out well and my hair is now an awful kind of orange!

I've tried neutralising it with purple shampoo and conditioner but no luck.

Apart from going to a hairdresser, do i have any other options? what would happen if i just put brown over the top? Or at least a nicer red/auburn....??

If you put a darker colour over the top, in a few days the colour will fade from the blonde areas giving you a lighter shade of the dark colour IFYKWIM so you will have highlights but not in blonde
If you go to a hairdresser they will probably just put a toner through. (Thats what we used to do at the salon)

When I do my hair I go to a hairdressing wholesalers & get my stuff from them

The issue you will have by blonding over blonde, if you are using a strong product or peroxide is that the hair becomes weaker & weaker and will snap. Also if you are not careful you will end up with colour bands where you have overlapped the colour

Okay so like a dark brown over the top? and how long should i wait?

if you mean between colours you can do it straight away.
Just follow the instructions for a virgin hair colour, it may be a little dark at first but it will lighten up over then next couple of days
