How I Took Back my Hair: A Journey from Orange to Sand

This past week I thought it would be a fantastic idea to get my hair lightened for a beachy blonde summer look. My first hair disaster occurred! The stylist I went to tried to lift the brown roots I had from a previous foil but instead he turned my hair orange at the roots & yellow all over. I knew it was awful as I was sitting there in the chair, feeling incredibly uncomfortable and embarrassed that my hair looked all sorts of crazy. I let it be for a couple of days to see if I would eventually like it, but I waited a week and I still hated it so I decided to take matters into my own hands.

I bought a box of Nice & Easy in color 106 Natural Medium Ash to try to neutralize some of the yellow and orange that the foils gave me. Surprisingly, I had great success & now my hair looks great! Some of the orange remained at my roots so I purchased Batiste Dry Shampoo in color Dark & Deep Brown in order to make the orange less noticeable. I am so glad I decided to DIY my hair because it was a hot mess. I got compliments from everyone today .. at the store, at the chiropractor, at dinner, I'm actually so happy with this color!


Any hair horror stories? What did you do .. go back to the salon or DIY? I'd love to hear from you!
