No, sorry i can't do lol, but you can do it yourself..if you have a friend that can help. My wife went to several stylists and none knew what they were doing. Heres what you do if you can do it yourself. What you need: 3 Activators by Clariol called Born Blond their in packets. Depending how blonde you want to go use either 30 or 40 developer also by Clariol the higher the # the lighter your hair color, 1 bottle Born Blonde Lightner #3 bottle by Clariol, and 1 bottle Second Nature Light Blonde #153D, and 1 mixing bottle with the cone shaped top( its a plastic bottle that has a measuring lines with screw on top that is pointed) to apply the product. Ok heres what you do. Take the mixing bottle and fill to 4 oz of developer then add all three packets of the Activators mix well shaking (note it may get alittle thick so use a stirer to mix or add alittle more developer to thin out), then add the bottle of Born Blonde Lightner mix well. After mixing start applying at the roots first at the middle of scalp and do the crown of head then sides and back. When all done with the roots apply to all the hair shafts. Put one of those plastic hair caps on and leave on for about 1/2 hr. You can apply heat to the cap and it will go alittle faster. After its done, don't worry if it still looks alittle redish. Take off cap and rinse completely, making sure all the activator/developer is out of the hair. Towel dry. Now clean out mixer bottle and add 2 oz of developer and the bottle of Second Nature color. Mix well and apply to roots and then all over the hair making sure all hair is covered with the color. After application put clear hair cap back on. Leave it on for 1/2 hr then rinse completely off. Take a shower or something this would be prob the best. Don't wash the hair for a day, but make sure you have a good shampoo and very good conditioner. You should be satisfied with the results. Also if you cant find Second Nature color pick a Clariol product that is blonde that has a base neutral color, no golds, or reds in the base. It will say this on the bottle. You have to get all this product at a beauty store. We have a Sally's Beauty store here that has everything, and im sure you have similar stores where you live. This is if you want to do it and have someone that can help, cause the roots are not easy to get to if you do them yourself.

me no have carpet.



Thanks Mick! I will have to check out a Sally's! It is so damaged from what that chick did I will have to live with it for a while. I am going to put on lots and lots of leave-in conditioning treatments.

GP, I would love to go to your girl. PM me her number and I'll call her. I might be scared to come all the way there with red hair - if she cancels on me I am doing th blond box above!

Re: I spent 4.5 hours at the hair salon yesterday...

I know exactly what you have Sugar. My wifes hair was soo dry from all the treatments she had to have much of it cut off, because much of it was either dead or so brittle it literally fell off when she combed it. Also, if you are afraid your hair is too damaged from the past treatments, leave the activator on for only 15minutes. The activator is what contains the bleach, or just start with the color process and skip the activator process. The color with the base of neutral will take out most of the pumpkin color. At least it will be a good color that you can go out and get your hair in good condition till you can see a good stylist. Btw, you don't have to go to a Sally's Beauty if there is not one in your area, look in the phone book any retail beauty shop should carry this product, or call first to see if they have it. Is your hair at least lighter?

Re: I spent 4.5 hours at the hair salon yesterday...

NO!

It was lighter before I went in there! I will leave it like this (I don't care if I look like a freak) for a few weeks....then I'll consider more treatments.

She bleached my hair and then put two (2!!!!!) glazes on top that turned it orange...they said if I washed with baking soda then they would come out...it helped a LITTLE - now it should fade with time...

Well good luck Sugar, lol! My wife is very skeptical about this, but i went by what a Clariol rep told me and it went perfect. Like i said if you want at least go out and get the color with a neutral base and use a 40 developer. At least it will get the red out and you can go out presentably.

Re: I spent 4.5 hours at the hair salon yesterday...

Thanks Mick! You are such a doll! I will try it as soon as I feel my hair is strong enough.

Re: I spent 4.5 hours at the hair salon yesterday...

No actually i watch the Kids in the Hall reruns Seriously, my wife was in tears. Her hair was pumpkin orange and real dry and brittle and she wouldn't go out. I felt sorry for her, so after trying one of those box things and it didn't work, i called Clariol on the phone, they have an 800# on the box and one of the reps told me what to do, so there!
