Just in the process of dying my hair. I always use the same brand, same shade, and usually turns out quite a nice shade of blonde. I have just rinsed my hair and AAAARRGHH - looks suspiciously ginger at the moment!!! Have just put my conditioner on and will have to wait until i dry it for the final colour - panicking now!! Will let you know the outcome!! Best wishes, Carol. BLONDE HAIR!! Thank you God, I will never mess with my hair again (at least not for the next 6 weeks until the roots show through!!!) Best wishes, Blondie.

oh no! What's the damage?? Joanne

Just had a thought - no offence to any naturally ginger people (my sister is ginger), but it is just not my colour!! Carol

From another who colours her hair, then holds her breath until dries.............Good Luck, please let us know......... Maggy

Oh phew, what a relief! I have been waiting for your reply with baited breath! Mandy :)

Cazzie, Your apology to ginger people accepted. If you hadn't I would have had to seen you on the 'Stirring up Trouble' thread. :-) Bob (with ginger hair and beard) PS Glad it turned out OK. I wouldn't have liked you to be a Ginger top.

Cazzie, I am so so glad it turned out ok. I decided, a few days before my holiday in July, to dye mine 'Ash Blonde', turned out more like 'Fag Ash'! back to mid brown again now. Kim

This has happened to me so many times - you would think I would have learned my lesson by now and actually gone to the hairdressers. I tried to colour mine from blonde to "strawberry" blonde once and it turned an orangey red - very vivid!! I then had to use a dark brown hair colour on it to turn it a reddish brown. Lorrainexx

oh dear i think we have all had hair disasters with the dreaded dye.just wear a baseball hat that's the curexxxx(:

As an SRH I would say go to the salon, at least if it goes wrong they have the stuff to correct it to had. But I must admit I have a couple of bad experiences with home colours they just aren't as strong as salon products.
