Is this possible?

I'm a natural brunette with some gray/white hair. Recently I dyed my hair strawberry blonde using a Garnier product.

My hair was a bit lighter but I still had all the white hair peeking out. My mom, a licensed beautician, said that most over the counter box products will not dye over white or will have strange reactions (kinda like what you described).

The only real fix is a professional dye job.

I think Kimmie is right (and her mother). Gray/white hair doesn't take well to most home remedies. I have been too afraid, myself, to even attempt covering my mostly gray hair, at home. I go every 8 weeks or longer, to my own stylist and have her color and cut my hair. It is worth every dollar.

I hope you get it straightened out, Kim.

there are places where you can get professional hair color dyes and get the same results as you can buy the color and the developer in whatever volume you want not only 20 as mostly al boxes have yu can get 30 or 40 volumes.....you just need to know what to buy......

I´ve went to pro hair colorist twice and I look and pay much attention on what they use, brand, quantity, mixtures, etc......

I don´t have grey hair, but most hair color works for me, just have to pick right shade.......

At this point, I would also say go to a professional to get the fix. You've tried, spent money, made phone calls. It may cost you $60 for the full color -w ash - blow dry - style, but hey, after all you've been through go for it!

Gosh! I would have to agree with your husband, and say go to a salon. With all the money you've no doubt already spent on color (and may yet), it might ultimately be cheaper. Good luck!

I called Rie and told her to come here... Maybe she can help you but she can't come right now. She will stop by when she gets a chance. BE CAREFUL!!! She had a sister in law that dyed and dyed her hair and it ended up like elastic. You really need a expert to advise you and Rie is the only one I know and while she may be helpful, I think you need a pro now or you are going to end up loosing all your hair!

I am just now getting lots of gray in my hair so I don't think me bleaching it at home is going to be an option for me much longer. I just hate having to go to a salon every month.

I was a blond growing up but now the natural color is probably a light brown, I may need to go have it dyed back to its natural color and get some highlights.
