Q: I currently sport an Ombré hairstyle that I got as a summer change/treat. I love it, but want to go back to my regular deep dark-brown hair colour. However, I cannot afford salon prices correct now.

Yasmin'south hair is three tones: her natural dark chocolate-brown roots, a faded coat in the middle and bleached Ombré ends.

When I initially went to the salon, I had very dark, about black, semi-permanent pilus dye on my pilus with about 2 inches of root growth. The stylist said she would have to match the colour of my roots to hide the growth, then Ombré the bottom. But the roots developed lighter than normal, then I had three tones: light at the pinnacle, dark in the heart and then the Ombré!

To fix information technology, she applied a dark coat over the roots to match the nighttime from the sometime pilus dye, and it ended upwards looking pretty proficient. The Ombré at the bottom was non my favourite colour (a honey, orangey colour) merely I was told that since my pilus is so dark, I would have to return to go information technology processed once more to a lighter blonde. Needless to say, I never returned for further bleaching—I was agape of the horror stories of exposing your hair to bleach to then lookout it fall off.

Yasmin's Ombré has a brassy, orange tone.

Then at present I'm dorsum to the three tones again. I take 3/4-inch root growth, the portion the hairstylist glazed has lightened to a washed-out auburn, and the Ombré is at present a brassy honey color. Aid me please! How tin can I make my hair look somewhat even and more natural, without having to deal with horrible root growth? Thanks and then very much! — Yasmin

A: Yasmin, for you to be able to become to a rich, natural chocolate-brown again, here is what I suggest.
