How will this effect my hair?

Hey!

About 6 weeks ago I had an ombre done at a salon, it started out looking really good, even though I didn't want that colour, but then it turned into a nightmare.

The hairdresser chose for me the 'blonde chiffon' I think hair dye from l'oreal and now, after washing it and stuff, it has turned into a bright canary yellow that looks so trashy against my brown hair.

Anyways, since I'm only 14 (problem one), I didn't know what to do as I didn't want to dye it again to add damage my already dry hair. Now it just looks absolutely ugly, so there were no choices but to chop it or dye the ombre itself (not my whole hair) a darker shade.

I was wondering how would dying it again effect my hair as I am young and my hair has always been dry and frizzy. I really don't want to cut it off as I have been trying to grow it out and it just started to become long.

So can someone please tell me how this would effect my hair and what are some remedies?

Sorry for how long this was!! Thanks xoxo

Sorry I don't know how it would effect your hair but I do know that if you whant to get the yellow/brassy toned in your hair wash it with purple shampoo.

I would just leave it but if you think it's that bad.. If it were me I would just redye the hair and use lots of moisturizing hair masks etc.

Their first mistake was using Loreal. I've never been to a salon that carries the line, but in my view it is not on par with a line such as Pravana. Purple shampoo is available at Sally's. Leaving it on a bit in the shower will tone down that brass. You can follow up with "It's a 10" 5 minute miracle for blondes to condition it. Sometimes, I apply my purple shampoo to dry hair and let it sit a few to get a nice lavender tone. For a more permanent solution, I'd go to the beauty supply and get some toner.

Most drugstores carry purple shampoo as well. Target has John Frieda and Walmart carries some as well. Sometimes it is labeled as "color correcting" or "Silver" shampoo. Good luck!
