OMG!! Reija, your initial post made me cringe! As a colorist, I don't encourage home color b/c of the "accidents" that can occur.
I'm glad that it turned out ok in the end. Your poor hair! Get yourself some good protein strengthening treatments!
One of my faves is layering MOP Extreme Protein & MOP Extreme Moisture. I put the Protein on first, so it will penetrate the hair; then layer the Moisture on top. Wrap your head in saran wrap & blast a hair dryer on it for about 5 min, until it's warm. Leave it on for at least 20-30 min before rinsing.
I hope that next time you have an urge to match your root color, you'll leave it to your colorist. She didn't scold you too bad, did she?

Thanks for the advice! I went to see my stylist today. She cut the dead ends off and my hair is back to normal again. I will never color my hair again myself. My stylist was nice about the whole thing though when I told her the story.

Did you get a new style at all? How much did you trim off? Did you get a protein treatment?
We need an updated pic!

Here are some pictures of the hair cut. My face is bare other than some lipgloss. Next time I'll wear makeup. I got a layered cut which I've had before. I love my hairdresser because I don't have to tell her anything she knows how to cut it. All I told her is that I'm still trying to grow my hair despite the fact that I just fried it with the home color experiment.

She cut the dead ends off, the layers on the top were damaged but she said the rest of the hair is good and she said that no need for a deep treatment. She was actually amazed how good of condition my hair was.

Wow, your hair looks beautiful! I love the color & it looks like you have highlights too! I just read an article that said "red is in" but after seeing your hair now, there's no way I am going to touch red. My hair is medium/dark brown, I've never been able to achieve the blond you have...SOB!

Everyone lets welcome Reija's Mom from Finland! She rarely visits, but this time, she has posted a message. Let's every one say "HI"
