I bleached my own hair blonde for over 2 years. I really liked the color but hated the maintenance (especially since my roots are so dark) and was also growing increasingly disturbed by how much damage I was doing to it. But I didn't want to get rid of it while I danced at my club because it made me stand out. I told myself that once I quit at my current club, I would change my hair color.
Well, I finally did it a little over a week ago! I wanted to go red, but because the color wasn't taking well, the orange-red that I wanted turned into them doing it as a dark red-brown. Also, because it was "corrective coloring" I ended up paying $350 for it... when I really don't have that money to be spending right now cuz I just quit my job...
I like the color - it's pretty. But I realized almost instantly that it did not look like my "hot sex-worker hair" like blonde did... I still think I look good, but, it's like - I look pretty, not HOT and SEXY. If I want to keep my hair this color, I'll have to keep going back and spending more money on touch-ups anyway so it's not like this is no-maintenance. I really want my blonde back and I feel like if I'm going to keep going back to the salon and spending money on touch-ups, I may as well do it with the color I liked more. But to get it back to blonde, it would probably be another several hundred dollars and everyone keeps telling me I should keep this color awhile since I spent so much on it in the first place.Should I suck it up and get my money's worth or should I chalk it up to an expensive mistake and just get myself back to blonde already? If I went with doing it myself again, would I be able to bleach out the salon color or will that just go horribly horribly wrong? I only ever bleached my hair when it was grown out to it's natural color.
