My roots were coming in and I wanted my hair to look nice for L&D so I dyed my hair @ home and now my hair is yellow and orange 😢 I feel so stupid 🙃

I like it actually

@Ashley wait like 24 to 48 hours and redye it

Honestly girlie getting it professionally done is so worth it, messing with bleach never ends up good unless you rly know what you're doing haha

I don’t have $ to get it done at the salon lol I wish

like the same color I thought maybe I need to get a toner

it’s like so yellow in person idk why it doesn’t show in the pic as much

at least you know it photographs well

yeah that’s true lol 😂

Try a purple shampoo

And toner it will cancel out the yellow

Get an ashy toner! I always used Wella! Depending on the color you’re going for!

I think it looks great, I wouldn't have known you messed it up!
I always do my hair at home, only thing is you gotta realize just because the color on the box makes a promise doesn't mean it will work with the color you already have lol. Lessons learned. But it does look great on you!

thank you there’s so many and I’m like ok it’s mostly yellow but kinda orange ish so should I just get the purple to cancel out the yellow

I thought the purple shampoo was the toner lol I’m lost

It’s cute

thanks I think it might just be the lighting in my bathroom lol and yeah I know I usually dye it but never this light

no If u go to say Sally’s ask for a toner,
Purple shampoo is literally purple lol and when I use it the one I find works best BFF or me is the shimmer lights brand, I add it to my dry hair and let it sit for 10-15 and then rinse it it will take away the copper or yellow

I just did a streak to my hair but my hair breaks soooooo easy I just went over it lol but it but that’s what works

I don’t live close to a Sally’s so should I get the shimmer lights toner or purple shampoo

I only go to local beauty supply or cvs or order from Amazon

Hey girl! I work in a hair salon. Just an assistant but I have my license and I don’t think it’s a good idea to use purple shampoo on it. It looks like it’s not lifted enough for the shampoo to work. It most likely won’t do much and you’ll probably just be disappointed. I would recommend toning it down a little if you can.

how do I tone it down?

😍 i love the color on you, maybe try using a darker toner for your roots.

what toner should I use

Can someone just tell me which toner lol I had to wear a bandanna to go outside

I love this color on you. I think your mistake ended up working out very well!!

Heyyy I saw you said you don’t have a sallys near you but before I had access to professional color I used wella toner and it always worked for me! If you can find that at another beauty store give it a try!

Also just a heads up! Purple shampoo will strip toners so don’t use a purple shampoo right after toning your hair💕 if you tone it and notice it starts to get brassy again after a couple weeks that’s when you would use your purple shampoo. It’s just like a temporary fix for brassiness in between whenever you tone your hair. Also you only need to leave the purple shampoo on for a few minutes otherwise it can make your hair purple. Just figured I would let you know in case you get the toner and purple shampoo.
