So I have naturally dark blonde hair but I've been bleaching it and dying it a very light blonde for about five years but I got bored with it so I decided to have my hair dresser dye it brown. I liked it at first but now I absolutely hate it. Parts are still blonde and other parts are very light compared to the majority of my hair because apparently the color didn't take very well to my hair due to lack of pigment the hair dresser said. Its been about a month, is there anything I can do? I'm scared to damage my hair really badly
Answer
Fading colour is easiest when a temporary or semi-permanent colour is used vs. permanent. Which did she use on your hair..?
-Shampooing hair with very hot water will fade colour.
(if one was interested in maintaining the colour, they would opt for the cool-side of warm only)
-Shampooing with clarifying shampoo's will fade unwanted colour.
One of the best is Paul Mitchell's Clarifying shampoo #3

PM #3 is manufactured for swimmers who have a green tint to the hair due to chlorinated pools. It removes unwanted colour very well and moisturises the hair.
-Dandruff shampoo (as in T-Gel) fades unwanted colour well and is recommended by stylists. Not the white, Head&Shoulders kind.. but the pine tar, T-Gel kind. Adding baking soda to the shampoo and making a shampoo paste will fade the colour even more so.
-In a pinch, using dishwashing detergent along with baking soda will also fade unwanted colour.
-Applying hot oil treatments to hair will fade colour, too. You can use easily found product's-
like VO5 hot oil treatment:

..or use olive oil, canola oil, macadamia nut oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, jojoba oil, TeaTree oil, argon oil.. (whatever you have on hand). Be careful (obviously) heating the oil. Don't use the microwave or you'll burn your scalp. Use hot tap water in a cup, and place the oil in a zip-lock baggy inside of the hot water. That's hot enough. Apply to the hair and wrap the head with cling-wrap. Sleeping with the oil on will help to remove the unwanted colour as well as smooth and condition the hair but even leaving it on for an hour or so will help.
Another option is pulverising vitamin C tablets (about 20), adding to shampoo- apply to wet hair, wrap the head/ hair in cling-wrap and allow it to stay for at least 1 - 2 hours (sleeping with it on it ok) and it will remove/ fade unwanted hair colour:

If your hair has been high-lift lightened for a long while, it's likely quite porous and porous hair will generally take to colour.. absorbing it like a sponge. If portions of your hair didn't take the colour at all, you may have had a leave-in treatment or oil on the hair prior to colouring. Hard to say why it didn't take but I suppose at this point that's a good thing.
If you continue to shampoo with baking soda and one of the suggestions above ^ (even shampooing a few times in a row) and/ or sleeping with the shampoo + baking soda on the hair (or using hot/ warm oil on the hair), it will fade quite a bit (if not completely).
Lastly, the OOPS line of unwanted permanent colour removers work very well (a little more harsh than just shampoo and baking soda) but it will get the job done:

For paleo, and whole foods advocates, use olive oil over canola oil even though it is not Extra virgin?
PcTran
So my family doesnt have the most money and my mom will support pure olive oil from costco but not the EVOO because it is expensive. Would it be better to use Pure olive oil vs canola oil or would the negative effects be pretty even for both?
Answer
Olive oil is better than canola depending on how hot you get it.
Have you tried coconut oil?
