Please help! Hair disaster!

[utternutter]

Help please! Im about to start college a week today (monday) and have dyed my hair. I do this alot as i get bored with my natural dark brown. the most recent was a red but it never took to well so i decided to dye it again, but dyed it platinum blonde. The dye had peroxide in it and now ive gone like a cream egg! Im ginger, orange (theres a difference trust me!) brown red and platinum blonde! I dont know what to do! Its also like straw! Does anyone have n e suggestions for me cos i refuse to leave the house! Thank u

i don't think you have any other choice other than to dye it again. i would avoid any more dyes with peroxide in it otherwise your hair will really suffer. if you put a dye on up to a mid brown it should be ok, if you want to go any darker then you would need to put a red tint on first then a dark dye. if you really want to go blonde, go to a hairdresser and let them sort it xXx

I would get someone to take you to the hairdressers. If it looks like straw, then you will probably make it worse with any home remedies. I have had a few disasters in the past, but fortunately haven't gone orange.

Ive just tried head and shoulders.... takes it out apparently...

i think head and shoulders only works for darker dyes, although i may be wrong xXx

lol great... oh welll....see i could live with it and say i meant it to look like that, except (my mate did it and had 2 use 2 boxes cos it was crap) and she still missed patches near my roots so i have massive gaps of brown... neva mind, felling beta bout it now... always a pair of scissors :S lol

dont panic! i have done this before and it went exactly the same.
you have 2 options really if you want to dye it yourself -

a) buy quite a few more packs of blonde dye (try swarzkopf ultimate blonde) and maybe a lightener pack too, this is what i did, took quite a few packs but eventually it went blonde - or try getting a pack of loreal colour expert, the big red boxes you dye an all over colour then put highlights in, try one of the blonde colours.
if you decide to do it blonde, and it will probably still feel like straw, just put loads of conditioner on it and this should help.

b) dye your hair a dark brown colour, which will *fingers crossed* get all the blonde out. again you could try one of the loreal red box things and use that - i use these and they work really well. The highlights look really nice too, if you want more highlights just buy another highlight kit (you can get superdrugs own highlighting kit).

another thing you could try which i have done in the past is get one of swarzkopf dye's in purple or red and use that over it, it makes it go quite bright - which looks nice actually - dont worry it will fade.

hope this helps, let us know what you decide to do with it :-)

thats not bad idea bout the darker 1, i thought of that, i used jerome russel 1, my mate bought it... she also bout 1 of those colour shots which u get in the metal can.... thats jerome russel 2 apparently... i was gonna dye that over it cos it says on it in big letters that works best if u use jerome russels pre lightner kit berfore (which is what i used) so i was gonna use this... (bright pink) to cover the ...ginger.... lol but my friend called her sis whose a hairdresser and asked her... she said this would make my hair go green.... neva believe what the packets say pmsl! So im definatly gonna do the darker 1.. thanx

i used one of those colour shots once, the dark blue one - this is when i did my hair blonde, and i did it just on the underneath of my hair... never again!
it went everywhere all on my neck, ears... then it faded within about a day or two, and when it rained it started to drip!! not good!
