Hello,
I have very dark brown hair and recently had bleached red highlights applied, which I wanted. I also wanted the rest of my hair to turn a different colour, specifically RV4. The stylist did not bleach the rest of my hair and so it still looks dark brown. She said she will redo my hair in a week's time but I am not sure if this is healthy? Should she just bleach the hair that is not highlighted since I do like the highlights, or do I just dye my hair brown so I don't lose length or texture.

Your stylist could redo the colour again, but if she used a permanent colour to try and get your base to the RV4 shade, she may need to cleanse (lightly lighten) the hair first before applying a brighter hue. This shouldn’t be too much of a problem, but if the hair has been heavily coloured in the past then it might lead to dryness. Keeping the hair in good condition is important, so invest in a great hair masque and conditioner.
