Hello,
I recently had my very thick and dark hair (base colour 5) bleached using foils. It took over an hour to do. I was then put under the climazon for 20 minutes and where my hair is so thick the underneath took very quickly so resulted in my hair going white and breaking off. The top has been left a mixture of blonde and yellow and is now very brittle.
My roots are getting very bad so I'm worried what to do next as just doing the roots with foils would surely leave my already highlighted hair looking patchy.
Any ideas please?
Thank you, Dawn, Southampton
Hi Dawn,
Gosh, you have had a bad experience. I am really sorry to read such mishaps from trusting clients about unprofessional work.
May I suggest you find a really good colour salon and let them advise you professionally. In your case I do not want to comment on how you should proceed as it is essential that you see a professional colourist who will give you the right treatment to repair your hair and give you the colour you desire. Remember to take professional aftercare products home with you. This is important as they stop your colour from fading and keep your hair healthy and shiny.
The best way to find a good colourist is when you are out and about. Look around you, you'll most probably see women around you who have a similar hair length and the colour you would love to have. Stop them and make a compliment on their hair, asking where they have their hair done is the best way to find the right stylist - unless you have a friend or colleague you trust who will recommend a particular stylist/colourist to you.
I always advise my readers and encourage my clients to take cut out pictures of their ideal style and colour to the salon, it is the best way to communicate clearly and leaves the guess work out.
I hope you find your ideal colourist and enjoy wonderful colour days soon!
