return my hair from black to brown quickly?
Situation:
A couple of months ago I had to dye my hair purple for a convention. To do this I:
1. used manic panic bleach kit to bring my hennaed hair blonde
2. waited a week then dyed hair purple with manic panic
3. dyed again the next morning because I didn't leave it in long enough the first time
4. dyed hair with black box dye because I couldn't have crazy colors at that job.
5. used morocco method black hendigo mix to fix the black about 3 weeks later as the box dye didn't get everything and my roots were starting to show. Honestly this did nothing to fix my roots and also didn't cover the purple streak that I was trying to get rid of.
I conditioned my hair like crazy during all of this, especially during the bleach stage.
I can't keep up this black hair, and I am unable to just grow it out as duo-tone won't go over well at work, nor with my family (I already receive enough hell with my hair as is).
I don't want to cut my hair off and start over because I've taken so long to get to where I am now, and I really don't look attractive at all with a pixie cut. :(
The only way I can think to do it is to bleach my hair and then color over it with a shade close to my natural color. Alternatively, I can bleach my hair, be blond for a bit to let my hair rest, and then dye it when my roots grow out again.
Does anyone else have any other ideas? :confused:
