So i just bleached my hair and my green turned to a very light powder blue, and the pink(which turned dark purple thanks to some black dye getting into it) turned to a hot lilac color lol. Think itll be fine to bleach it again?

Maybe try a deep conditioning treatment to give your hair some protein before bleaching a second time.

No no no no no! From experience I beg you not to! I did that and ended up having to cut most of my hair off! The double bleaching will cause breakage, which is something no one Wants. not to mention I was told by 2 different professionals never to bleach the same spot twice to change colors because the color you want will still have the old color somewhat in it. Of cause it's your hair and then you decide what to do with it, but if you're asking for advice I'd say rest well at least a week if not more before trying again. also do a lot of conditioning treatment... but again that's just my opinion.

agree with ^Tiana. You definitely have to wait at least a week while trying to restore your damaged hair from previous bleaching.

I've done it. I didn't have immediate breakage but it broke later. I don't think it was horrible on my hair, I just took (and still take) very good care of it.

as a professional I don't like seeing clients come in with fried hair and crying asking what they did wrong and how to fix it. best chance is to just go to a professional the first time.

No, just don't. Wait a week or even better, go to a salon!

You don't understand how many girls come into salons crying and nothing about how they don't know what they did wrong and asking how to fix it. There's not much we can do besides cut the extremely damaged stuff out, and more often than not the clients refuse to cut their hair.

Oh god, no! Just once is bad enough.

Well, girls I already did it and my hair is in good condition. (:

Also, id never go to a salon for bleaching and hair dyeing. Id never pay 100+ for something i can spend 9 dollars on

Your hair won't be in good condition next week. I'm guessing you change hair colors frequently, using bleach each time to strip out the previous color.

A year or so from now you'll be sitting in a stylist's chair with hot roots, complaining that you can't get an even color result no matter what you do, your hair feels like straw and whatever color you put in fades into something drab and ugly within a week.

Use bleach indiscriminately, pay the price. Funky colors are like the cigarette smoking of hair. Makes you look cool, but will kill you, and all that money you think you're saving will add up to a $500 color correction and a pixie cut.

Some people use direct dyes with great success, but they do it very carefully and there are rules to play by. Talk to those people and stop f*cking with it, because you will regret it later.

It's difficult to say, I think it depends on your hair type, I have real thick curls and waves; bleach killed it

In a much more polite tone: it will probably destroy your hair. it might feel fine for the first few days. it might even feel fine until the next time you decide to dye it, but the damage will show up. Mine lasted through I don't know how many times and I can't tell you howany colors. I bleached it twice and it destroyed it. I had to chop it all off and now I'm dealing with a short haircut with few styling options pining after the beautiful hair I lost. Not to mention the odd color I'm stuck with (brown that didn't completely cover the blonde) because I know it can't take being dyed again. And bleaching it again won't get rid of the colors. I had purple in my hair when I did it, it bleached to hot pink, then light pink and white, that's it.

I didn't see where you already did it. I hope it doesn't fry out the next time You dye it likeine did.
