Yellow Blonde Hair
by Chelsea
(St. Louis, MO, United States)
So I had brown hair and used a highlighting kit from Revlon that instead of highlighting, pretty much bleached my head, and it's now yellow.
I've heard about toners. What should I used? How long before you can used toner on your hair? My hair is damaged so I also need to think about that. Also if I just want to die my hair back to brown will it be reddish because of the yellow underneath? And how long before I can die my hair again?

A toner on top of yellow hair won't work. Blonde hair needs to be extra light, almost devoid of color, in order for toners to work properly.
You can either lift your hair to a lighter shade of blonde, then use a toner or lift your hair to a lighter shade of blonde, then use the brown hair color of your choice. In both circumstances, you'll need to apply a
deep conditioning treatment after you've lifted your hair, but before coloring it.
If your hair is damaged, its better to forgo hair color until you've replenished it back to health.
Damaged hair poses several problems when you apply color and should be addressed prior to coloring.
