    Hey ladies, could do with a bit of advice...

    Ive always had brown hair and i took a mad notion when i went to spain this summer to get blonde highlights, kept them up until christmas and now i just really want to be a brunette again.

    Does anybody know is it ok to or has anybody ever used a home dye over highlites.

    Cheers in advance.

    Hi had a friend who used home dye and it was a disaster! Greenish yellow, skank colour. ended up costing her more in the hairdressers to get her back right than it would have if she had of went in the first place.

    I personally do the hairdressers all the time, I was blondish, went red, then bright red, then brown and now a darkish brown and loving it. I wouldn't dare try dye it myself and after shopping around have found a brilliant hairdressers who are really reasonable.

    it depends on the dye, i think a risk of a tenner thoug is better than whatever the hairdressers will charge you!!!

    It could end up very dodgy! When you get your hair highlighted, the natural colour is stripped out of the hair shaft, so if you put another colour on yourself, there's no guarantee it'll look anything at all like the shade on the box. I've gone from dark brown to red, then to blonde, back to brown, and blonde again, but only in a hairdressers!

    It really would be best to have it done professionally. How it turns out will depend on the tones in the highlights and the tones in the colour that is put over it. If you put a tint with the wrong tones in it could be a disaster.
