You should really wait 2 weeks before bleaching it again! I did it within 1 week an the whole top layer of my hair was burned off to be as long as my thumb when I had hair down the middle of my back.

You should give your hair a rest for now! it just got fried from the bleach! Be nice to your hair and nourish it with hair masks, and/or oil treatments as to moisturize your hair before bleaching again! Hope this helps!

Coloring is fine haha just after closer to 24 hours..so when you want to do it should be completely fine! I've done that plenty of times trying to get the right shade! Good luck!

You have to wait a few weeks. Just go to a salon and get it sorted out. I did that yesterday and I am soooo happy with my hair now. It took 4 hours, but the results are fantastic.

There are a couple resons why your hair didn't come out as desired 1. the darkness of your hair which you did mention 2. Because you didn't leave the bleach on long enough 3. the strength of the developer. You could actually bleach your hair twice in one day depending on the integrity of your hair, however since you want to color it again that is ok as well however I must warn you that you more than likely it still won't be as light as you want it! You may get it a half of shade lighter but the chances of lighting it 1-2 shades lighter are slim to none. & all them are right you should begin to take care of your less heat, more conditioning treatments. You may choose to blow dry your hair but low heat is recommended!

The only way you can go blonder is by bleaching. if your hair already has color on it the only way it can be taken out or lightened is with bleaxh. the only way color works to lighten hair is if you have never colored your hair. for example if someone's hair was colored to medium blonde and they wanted to be platinum ud have to bleach but when her roots start showing you can use color to lighten it since that hair has never had color on it.

Yeah pretty much. but if you do bleach it again if you only need to go a shade or 2 darker and your hair still feels alright you should be fine. I'd do it in a week or 2 though and deep condition a few times. but if you can't wait just make sure to deep condition it before and after.
