Colouring hair

Question:

Hello Mary!

About two months ago, I had my salon change my platinum blonde hair to a deep, dark auburn brown. I went through all the required things, like treatments, a new trim etc but now I’m considering going back to my blonde look. My hairdresser has told me that to go back blonde would be a risk because my hair could break off at the line where my last bleach was done (so with two months’ regrowth that would leave me about an inch of hair!).

I’m over my brown locks but don’t want to risk my hair falling out! I get protein treatments done every month at the salon, trim it regularly as it is halfway down my back, and it is in fairly good condition, as I let it dry naturally all the time and only straighten it approximately once a week. Is there anything I can do to get my blonde look back? Or would I be better off just loving my brunette locks?

Answer:

I would suggest that you listen to your hairdresser as he or she know just how porous and weak your hair is. I personally would learn to love my locks until at least high summer when you can re-evaluate the condition of your hair. I would also like to suggest that you purchase a strengthening shampoo and conditioner and give yourself weekly conditioning treatments. Kerastase have a range called cement that is excellent.
