Girls, I'm a bit angry because I went to the hairdresser last week for an ombre, but the guy literally dyed my hair dark brown! I don't understand how such a misunderstanding happened. Is it reasonable to change it now or should I wait and let it fade a bit? If you have any experiences, could you share?
I experienced the same thing last year; I wanted ombre and the woman made it caramel. It looks very dark in the first week, but it lightens up a bit after washing. Wait about 10 days, maybe it will reach the tone you want. If not, you can lighten it; the hair won't be too damaged 🫣
But how did you explain it? Did you clearly say you wanted an ombre? Some hairdressers think the highlight on a light shade is ombre. Did you show a photo or anything? Or if you didn't explain it well, he might have misunderstood.
Here's the thing: if you lighten your hair again on top of a dark shade, it can lose its elasticity. Washing it a lot can also dry out your hair. If you're thinking about lightening, definitely work with a professional product and an expert. Besides that, you can change your shampoo to speed up the color fading a bit.
Girls, I really showed the photos and even chose from the color scale. But the guy said, "this suits your skin tone," and since I didn't quite understand, I left it to him. Turns out he just did what he wanted. I'm wondering if I should complain, but I'm not sure if I'll get the color I wanted back.
The complaint section can be a bit controversial. This could be considered a breach of contract, but if you don't have a written agreement, proving it is difficult, you know. It's important to clarify whether you clearly stated that you wanted ombre. Still, I think you should focus on saving your hair first. Try using mild lighteners or toning shampoos.
Honey, that's how it is; you can't trust the hairdresser. You'll need to ask a lot of detailed questions, what they will do, what procedures, why... But what's done is done. Now it will take about 3 months to recover your hair. Don't mess with it anymore, it will get worse. Take vitamins, do hair masks, and I think you should leave it natural for a while.
