Did you ever dye your hair and hate the colour?

I dyed my hair once when I was 16. I dyed it black and I liked but my hair is a dark brown with natural red and blonde highlights and I dont want to cover that up.

Well,I have to admit,that at 47 years old,and being a guy also
I have been hiding the grey for a while.
Once,I thought I would try blonde.
I bought one of these dyes in Wall Mart,for getting a blonde result.
I have dark brown hair.
Anyway,I followed instructions,
And when I revealed the finished job
It was
Bright Orange
I had well and truly been tangoed.
I shaved it all off with clippers.
But it had tangoed my scalp as well!!!

Oh in my teens my hair was all sorts of wonderful shades as I was a bit of a punk, pink, blue, purple, green, but these days need to cover the grey. I have on a few occasions used too dark a shade which I have just had to wait til it faded and grew out a bit but I have just recently had my haircut quite short and had lowlights put through so hopefully won't keep having to dye so much as grey will blend in, well thats the theory anyway. Early days so we will see. Ellie:D

Hello winterose
Yes, I have coloured my hair for years..I only started it when I got a bit of gray and from then on, it has been I dare say many different colours and highlights. I have been blonde, red, burgundy, black and every variation in between.
I did not like the black, it was not good for my colouring.
I am not dying it now for reasons of my own.
However, there was a time that I would have never let my hair go natural, but that time is now for now, we shall see what the future holds.
My favourite art of haircolouring was my best when hairdressing.

I started coloring my hair when I was in the 7th grade. I died it red at first. Then I got a perm and that made it even worse. You ever see that comedian, Carrot Top? I could have been his twin!

I have had my hair black, boy that was a mistake, because black hair really doesn't show any movement in the hair, and if the completion of the person is off, it looks very harsh.

I had it blond, and then I looked like some kind of street walker...and I had the white lipstick and black eyeliner and go go boots to go with it.

My senior picture was going to be taken, so I put ash blond in my hair and with all the other chemicals that had been on it over the months and years.. my hair turned the pretties shade of green you ever did see! I was horrified, and I went to the beauty shop and she put a toner on my hair to make my hair pretty again.

Now as I have gotten older, the chemistry of my hair has changed. If I put blond on my hair, it will turn black. If I put medium brown on it it will again turn black. So about the only thing I can put on my hair is light brown and light auburn, and it gets as dark as I can handle it, because my hair grabs color.

I let all the color grow off my hair, and I got it all cut off and it looked so good. I had pretty light salt and pepper hair.. more pepper than salt..but it looked like a very light frosting on my hair. Then I go and ruin it with color and it has no life. I am thinking of getting my hair foiled to give my hair some highlights and lowlights so that it looks like it has some movement.

I can't remember what age I was maybe in my 20's but yes I dye my hair also and I tried blonde and didn't like it at all but waited for awhile and I went back to my color medium brown and I had trouble with it and I called the number on the back of the box and they told me to go ahead and do it again and I said you sure and they said yes so I did and it worked for me, but it might not work for everyone.
call the number on back of box and ask them what to do they will advise you.

I only started dying my hair maybe ten years ago..out of the blue I decided I was going to be a blonde..my hair is naturally dark brown...Well, yup sure enough did my hair blonde..what a disaster...I guess I just don't have the right skin color for light or blonde hair..I looked so washed out, like a corpse...within a week I dyed back to a dark shade. I only dye my hair now once or twice a year...thankfully I still don't have too many grey hairs coming in

I was not allowed to dye my hair when I lived at home, so when I moved out I desided to dye it black. It turn GRAY! Because my hair was a blond color. I cried and begged my then boyfriend to please go and buy my another box and redid it.
I now keep my hair dyed red and it looks great on me.
There was another time when I dyed my hair and it was to be a mango/reddish color and it turned a bright orange! Not good at all when you are working as a cashier.

I know this other lady that dyed her hair and it turned lavender! Work was not happy and it matched to our work shirts.
Thanks for the question.

My sister bought this Loreal Pulse stuff and wanted to dye my hair. The bottle said that it was temporary and would wash out in 10-20 shampoos, but that was far from the case. For some reason, it stained my hair this TERRIBLE firetruck red. It was hideous and uneven. It was gross. I will never ever put that stuff into my hair and I always tell my friends and family to steer clear of it too, because it's terrible! I looked like I dunked my head into a bucket of hawaiian punch. It was gross. After about three months of waiting for the nasty stuff to rinse out and it not, I decided to go to a hair salon and get it fixed. I explained to the lady that I was on a budget and she worked with me, and charged me only for the supplies (because it was cheaper than charging for the hours.) Needless to say, I learned my lesson!

I have dyed my hair before and have it come out wrong like the time I tried having plumaria colored hair with light colored purple streaks and I ended up having gray streaks. Or the time I tried going from blond to brown and I had Gray that time too.
