Bad bleach job gone wrong!!

Asked by troy over 2 years ago, 5 answers.

My girlfriend bleached my hair 3 days ago/ big mess.I had been coloring it myself for over 4-5 years (MED BR). Looked great before. What was done: for 45 mins she put loreal high performance quick blue powder bleach mix with half bottle of loreal 40 vol...

developer oxydant revelador (oreor creme) bad idea. My hair was then orange where the old color was and white by the roots. After all that she put clairol #87 nice'n easy ultra light natural blonde for 45 mins and wow still orange with some blonde/ scalp burnt a little although more worried about the orange/blonde look. What did she do wrong?? How do I fix this/make it all blonde?

Thanks for your advice
Troy

Doing anything else to your hair could just make it worse. I would go to a hair salon and have them even it out!

Good luck!

well to tell you the truth i had the same thing happen to me..... What hapened was that you left the bleaching mix in your hair tooo long and it mixed with your med brown hair and turned an orangish color....... try going to a professional saln and seeing if they can help.........if not then wait at least a month-month and a half to dye it again........
good luck.......

I'm a hairstylist, I can help!

Yowza! That's an hour and a half of some of the harshest hair chemicals to put on your scalp in one day! You are lucky you did not suffer permanent scarring to your scalp and subsequent permanent hair loss. You needed a stylist in a salon to do this for you. Coloring your hair brown and then throwing bleach on it lifts the brown in uneven patches and turns your roots white or yellow or bright orange yellow. When lightening/bleaching, you leave the bleach off the scalp until the last 10-20 minutes of the process. You had it on your scalp for an hour and a half. Let me repeat. You are LUCKY!

Since I can't see your hair and your scalp is damaged, I can't advise you what to do at home without risking serious damage to your scalp or hair. Other than shaving all your hair off, I recommend going to a professional ONLY at this point. You can cause scarring on your scalp and lose hair permanently. This is what happened to Tina Turner in the 60's, this is why the woman, to this day, wears wigs. She burned her scalp so badly that it's mostly all scar tissue. And hair doesn't grow through scar tissue.

No stylist will color your hair while your scalp is damaged. Wait until it heals. If you were my client (remember though, I haven't seen your hair, so this is basically a guess based on what you told me), I'd color it to brown again, wait a week, then re-bleach it *properly* to get as even a lift as possible. Then I'd deposit a blonde or light brown with the proper base color (something only a colorist would know) to balance it out and to give you an even color.

That's my advice. There is no safe quick fix here.

If you ever want to lighten your artificially dark colored hair, always always always go to a stylist--preferably a color specialist. Good luck.

First, she shouldn't have lifted the roots. You will need to do a second round of bleach on the orange part. Wehn you bleach hair, it goes through stages. First it will turn reddish orange then road hazard orange(the longest stange). After a while you will see it turn to yellow. Once it is in this stage for a while and is a light brightish yellow you can tone it. But while it is burnt you can't do anything at all to it. you need to wait for it to heal and then you can try rebleaching the orange part and then toning it. Good Luck!

p.s. always get it professionally bleached, not even like a beauty school where the instructors monitor it, I mean professional. it's worth the money, trust me.
