I have naturally dark brown hair and for the past 8 years I have been getting highlights and lowlights. I went to Toni & Guy last May and the stylist said I had one option and that was to darken the blonde and then in 6 weeks to get highlights. I agreed, he applied a filler/pigment and OMG my hair turned black!! I was horrified. He was also shocked. He then put the colour over the pigment and it was still no better. I cried and panicked. A week later he put some highlights throughto break up the colour and it turned orange....a month later I got highlight.....then 5 weeks after that more highlights (hair broke off around the front and hair shedded from the scalp. I stopped bleaching me hair and then 10 weeks later I got INOA lowlights done. They have no amonia and no peroxide so they are quiet gently. The problem now is that at some point my highlights started to turn a muddy greenish yellow. The hairdresser said Im better off getting an all over colour instead of doing lowlights but Im afraid the same thing will happen again and my hair will break off again and turn black. Its really upsetting me. I have to go to work looking like this. Its been 5 months now and I feel so depressed. I feel like I want to shave my head. Please help!:cry:

What were you trying to acheive?
As i dont see why the stylist darkend your blonde only to go lighter again. to me that seems completely pointless. Use a semi on it to try to start it getting back to health. matrix are very good with semis and have lots of conditioning agents in them to help! also go for shade lgiht then you actually want to go so that it wont go too dark at first!
hope i helped!x

Im also a little confused about the advice your stylist gave you 
What was your desired result?
I agree, I would leave it alone unless using demi's like from the Joico range (super conditioning)
I would also start looking for a new salon..... xx

Sorry....back in May my hairdresser said that my hair was over processed and I would have to start all over again. He said he could darken my hair to a light brown or dark blonde with a pigment and then a perm colour. Then in 6 weeks to come back and introduce hihglight. The problem was my hair did not turn the light brown/dark blone - its turned a very dark brown (almost black) infact I remeber it looked like the colour of turf!

If you were happy with your tone and shade before he messed with it, and it was over processed, he should have advised you to just get root touch ups and reccommended some protien products.
I reitterate what I said in my previous post. Get some good products, and a better stylist!

Thanks Jo Jo. I think I have no other option now but to wait 6 weeks and then get an all over semi to match my own natural hair colour (or close enough) My lowlights are dull and muddy and the highlights are a mossy green colour. Its so ugly. I have to get a deposit only red rinse put in my hair every 2 weeks to tone down the green Its a total nightmare!!
Its a total nightmare!!
