Can I dye my hair after getting highlights?

Hi kmclaughlin,

Since you are trying to dye your hair back but it’s two different shades, it’s going to be difficult to get them to both be the same shade. If you’re planning on going to a salon to have it re-highlighted, I would just go to the salon and have them dye it back to your natural color. That way the results will be more predictable.

Good luck!

Hi

I have been a hairdresser for 5 years now - I would suggest you have a professional hairdresser do the whole thing for you!

personally if you were my client I would suggest low lighting you hair with a colour that matches you natural colour: this would save you money and would cause less damage and you would finish up with your desired look I.e. your natural colour with a few highlights left over

I used to dye my hair jet black but my hairdresser thought it was too much DRAMA! So I went to my natural color brown I had highlights but in it was that ugly cheap looking carmel highlights . So I had this new hairdresser dye my whole head a very, very cool red chocolate brown and most of it looks dark red choc. brown but where the ugly carmel highlights. I think those carmel highlights were about a past life flashback of being a skunk :) Anyhow the highlighted part came out a little lighter color of red choc brown so slightly lighter than the rest my hair it looks like natural sun kissed hair. I love it is subtle and when I’m under the lights or in the sun wow it is very cool I receive compliments on the color and shine all to the time. So when I when to get it fixed I also had them do 3 three foils of different versions of the color so I could see the colors and pick the one I wanted, So just take the time and see a pro it is worth it at the end!

Hi, I had the same exact problem.My hair is dirty blonde and the hairdresser out highlights.A little too thick,kind of looked like stripes.Wasn’t bad but not really me so she put a toner in and most of it disappeared and I was left pretty much the same. A different hair dresser told me to use Dawn dish liquid to wash my hair a few times and that will take some of toner out and get highlights back but not too obvious.She said only use Blue Dawn,no other color.I tried it once so far but not much changed.Not that this has much to do with your problem but if you get a toner it will calm down the highlights and then wash with dawn just a few times.

I have low highlight and high lights in my hair they blend in well with my natural hair color of med. brown. Can I start dyeing my own hair at home with a store bought one? I’VE notice after 3 wks my gray hair is showing even though I barely have a growth yet. Which means I’m going in very 3 1/2 weeks or so, and it’s becoming costly for me.

hi I had dirty blonde hair then a got blonde highlights to different shades hated it. a wanted ma hair all blonde so a done a home die. loreal ash blonde and now a have orange on the top half and a greyish colour in the bottem how do a get ma hair all one colour again?

A week ago I had thick highlights done. my hair is naturally black and wanted a rich brown color with some highlights. My hairdresser did thick highlights on just the crown of my head b/c she said black would be hard to get it dark brown. So, she bleached my hair and used a toner but I do not like this color brown. Would it be bad to color my hair again and get the color I wanted?
