So basically with the money I've spent on Clairol Hydrience I could have gone just to a salon in the first place and had somebody with a brain smack me upside the head, tell me what a dumb idea it would be to darken my hair, and spruce up the fabulous color I already had.
If this doen't work tomorrow I'm going to cry like a baby. Yes, I am such a GIRL. And no, I will not post any pictures!
Oh Tracey! If I was closer, I'd volunteer to watch your girls so you could go to the salon because I KNOW how much a woman's hair means!!
It will all be okay--it may just take some time to get it back to normal. But no more fussing with those pretty blond locks once it's fixed!
Tracey, I think it best that you get thee to a salon. It's not possible to "dye" your hair a lighter color once you've applied a darker color. If you originally had darker hair, you'd have to bleach it first in order to go blonde. You have to take out the darker color - aka bleach it. Hydrience is a permanent color - meaning it can't be washed out. Since you're not in the habit of coloring your hair, I'm sure that getting this fixed will not do too much damage. Have the processing done first and then get the ends cut off if they look too dry.
