I had been actively applying a lot of LHC principles and advice for almost a year after a disastrous bleach job followed by a huge chop in May 2013. I had dyed my hair a dark brown to match my roots and the growing out process hadn't been too painful, while feeling slow at the time, it was gratifying to reach shoulder then see my layers also lengthening up with the tlc.
Fast forward and following my second pregnancy, I felt a little drab and meh - despite all common sense and previous experience telling me this wasn't a bright idea, I decided to have a few highlights. I had previously spent several years in a 'highlight until almost bright blonde then box dye dark and repeat' cycle, viewing never to return to that, following the improvement in condition since going dye free and treating my hair with some kindness (gentle brushing, spacing out washes, natural products, no heat etc).
Given the fact that I am being gentle with my hair in most other respects, the bleach hasn't completely ruined the condition, I'm just not terribly keen on the highlights and I've already got some harsh regrowth (3 weeks in, my own hair is naturally very dark).
Basically - sorry fir rambling, what I'd like to find out is if anyone has been in similar circumstances?
i quite like the ombré trend and don't really want to go back to an all over one colour brown, if there was a method of converting the highlights to appear deliberately ombré thus softening the growing out process and not costing me a fortune with a professional I'd be really interested to hear it?
Thanks in advance!
