Hi,
I went from dyed black hair to a number 7 base with Highlights, (over a long period of time) I would like to know what I can put over the top of it to help the condition as the Bleach has dried out my hair!
I have trolled your site all morning reading the Hair Doctor so I know not to put on another box dye, I bought 11.0 ultra blonde to use and you have previously said not to put box dye over bleached hair, so thank you for that advice!
I just want to add an all over colour or Toner that would add shine and maybe make it feel better too? Can you suggest something?
Thank you,
Marjorie, UK
As you know, when we lift artificial colour out of the hair and go lighter we are putting it through quite a bit of chemical processing and stress.
I can't recommend any colour that is going to make it feel any better or give it shine as this is just further chemical processing.
Instead I suggest that you invest in a care programme for your hair, shampoos conditioners and treatments that all moisturise are essential. Also there is an in-salon treatment that is great for putting protein back into the strands, this is called Biolustre and works by rebuilding the hair from the inside out.
If you go speak to a colourist they may be able to offer a vegetable colour that just adds a slight glaze to the hair. L'Oreal Chromative is a good option.
