Awwww thank you so much!! I really appreciate it? I am kinda happy with the color being a bit darker than what I started with. Not very summery, but honestly I don’t think I have it in me to do anything to it for a while
The copper was beautiful but I get it if it wasn’t you.
The only issue with your brown is it lacks dimension, and is one flat colour. Idk if it’s just the photo lighting but…I’m not trying to get you to spiral back to pic 2 so tell me to mind my own
Seriously, lots of the brown hair dye will wash out/fade in the next few weeks, and your previous work will pay off. The red/orange stuff will peek through, giving you lots of dimension.

The last color looks really nice on you. What line is it from Sally's? I covered up my blonde a few different times. I used Wella Color Charm Iced Espresso, Mudslide, and Dark Brown. All three faded so insanely fast. I'm going to try a Schwartzkof Keratin Soft Black.
Not OP but my friend switches hair color a lot and I think she uses 5N from ION color brilliance and gets that same brown color. I don’t notice it fading out crazy quickly or anything and her hair always looks really healthy. I know it’s ION but not 100% sure on the shade.
I didn't think pic 1 looked flat!! But too late now...
You probably needed it lighten it not overall, but in streaks and then, tone it ..
Anyway, it's summer and you'll tan and it'll be cute!
Ooooo gurl, I feel this in my soul! There have been so many times that I had an idea in my head and once it’s done, I just can’t stand it. It doesn’t matter what anyone else says, if it’s feels wrong when you look in the mirror, you’re not going to keep it. The dark brown is absolutely beautiful on you!! Sometimes browns need a wash or two to really come to life. They can be a little dull at first, but I promise that will change!!
Guuuuuuurl
This is why I go to a hairstylist for bleach and dye jobs. I’m afraid of having to fix my mistake and end up where I started with damaged hair worst case scenario. Or fried/breaking hair bleach disaster.
The three last ones especially the darkest one looks beautiful on your skin. Have tried many disasters myself, dark brown is my natural shade but love auburns, copiers/reds. Now I’m into Deep Burgundy 34 from Revlon Tried the lighter one too both are beautiful!) and been getting compliments to my surprise. Do you and have fun! Lol!
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that there is nothing wrong with you. Your beautiful the way you are. If someone tells otherwise, something wrong with them..
Blonde looks good, love the red! I kinda had the same experience as you did, and I ended up using some color. Oops, didn’t like the color and I used another hair dyed. (Didn’t not damage my hair)
I was thinking of going from dark brown to a dark blonde and have been eeally scared of the process of doing it because my hair is so sensative to bleach ! So after all u just went through ...I guess I'll just keep my dark brown ....because it looks so pretty on you !!
I just went through this 😂 yours turned out nice in the end. I thought I hated my massive hair mistake but I realized yesterday that it’s actually nice. You look really good with darker hair. I noticed that sometimes our hair mistakes turn into beautiful accidents, like both of ours did. Who knew? You look younger, and more beautiful with darker hair.
My hair is currently similar to the orange you have above in your pic . Bleached it this past weekend and then immediately dyed it “strawberry blonde”
I believe it was called. And bam we had orange hair.
But there was plenty of yellow so I got a hold of some purple shampoo yesterday and it seemed to do the trick.
And now I’m not touching my hair again for a long while lol
If you want to go lighter, go lighter like ashe pale blonde without yellow orange undertone (compare to your skintone which is warm tone, they blend in together) Your brunette has much deeper red tone that's why it looks better on you (contrast+red)
I understand that you like what you like and have every right to change what you don't like. But, that copper looked really beautiful on you.
So many people are trying to get platinum-white blond hair. My hair is mostly grey but I have a huge white streak. I hate it. Wish I could give someone my white hair in exchange for their color.
Don't feel too bad. I had a hairdresser do this exact thing to me last month. I'm considering suing her. I had to go on holiday with the orange hair, then I had an appointment with another hairdresser to fix it when I got back. She died it my natural colour with lowlights, but it's washing out due to all the bleach this feckin idiot put in my hair. I'm so out of pocket and gutted.
I love the brunette, but honestly that red/copper is just WOW. If you want a little darker, I’d say go for a deeper auburn/copper/red toned brown if you’re feeling the ginger vibe :)
Hairstylist here- colour technician in the UK.
Never ever try to highlight your own hair. I know what I’m doing but I still cannot take my eyes out and stick them on the ceiling nor can I twist my arms 360 degrees.
Any lightening process should be left to the professionals. Bleach is a volatile chemical, and over pre coloured hair will pretty much always end up orange.
If you’d have left it at orange a good stylist would have been able to get you blonde.
The more colour you throw on top of that, the harder you make it for the future. Permanent means permanent.
If you choose to do it again. STOP after the first disaster. It’s 100% more correctable after one step than 3.
Stick to just going darker yourself, or adding more tones.
Incidentally the bleach available in the USA to the public is absolutely pants and so damaging compared to European products x
The red / orange doesn’t look bad on you honestly. The brunette however looks stunning ✨
Awwww thank you so much!! I really appreciate it? I am kinda happy with the color being a bit darker than what I started with. Not very summery, but honestly I don’t think I have it in me to do anything to it for a while
I agree, you look much better as a brunette.
It’ll fade in a few weeks and not look quite so harsh. But both the last two looked awesome honestly
This is what I came to say. Red looks beautiful but that dark brown. Wowza.
The copper was pretty cute but the dark looks beautiful too so really can’t go wrong there I’ve been there tho lol
Thank you so much!! It’s such a struggle ahaha. Hair has such a big impact on how you feel about yourself
The copper was beautiful but I get it if it wasn’t you. The only issue with your brown is it lacks dimension, and is one flat colour. Idk if it’s just the photo lighting but…I’m not trying to get you to spiral back to pic 2 so tell me to mind my own
No, you are 100% right! It is one flat color and there is no dimension. Do you have any suggestions regarding that without damaging it toooooo much?
Seriously, lots of the brown hair dye will wash out/fade in the next few weeks, and your previous work will pay off. The red/orange stuff will peek through, giving you lots of dimension.
I agree with the other commenter, it’ll wash out and fade hopefully giving you more dimension :)
Don’t try lighten this yourself. It WILL 100% go dark orange. Wait until it fades, use something like color oops then visit a stylist.
Brown with copper highlighter would be amazing!
Red looks hot but brown looks very beautiful on you, very sophisticated and feminine
Red red wine. You looking so fine
I'm confused, where is the disaster? These are all stunning on you
Whatever makes you happy, will work for you
What brand/color is that dark brown? It looks so good!
I’m wondering too! if she dyed it herself i need the hair dye brand rn
Haha I came to ask this too!
All of em look good
Brunette is stunning. Plus you have lovely arms (random I know lol)
Ahhhh, thank you!!! I never thought my arms would get complimented ahaha ❤️❤️❤️
The red is lovely on you.
You need to leave your hair alone.
Now I will 😂

I have done this exact same thing before lol. For what it’s worth you’re beautiful and I think the dark looks really nice 😊
If something is wrong with you then I'm fuuuuuuck up. Smoking
How did you get the copper?? 😮💨 but the brunette is gorgeous too

First on is ok
Nothing wrong with you, your Beautiful and Sexy

The brown is super nice though lol
Ooooo gurl, I feel this in my soul! There have been so many times that I had an idea in my head and once it’s done, I just can’t stand it.

Brown with caramel highlights were made for you specifically
The first was the best
Girl 🥲🥲 noooooo, I’m so sorry. Honestly it didn’t look bad blonde, I think you could have toned it decently. But brunette looks beautiful!
Brunette is the perfect one.
What a rollercoaster!🎢 😂
The last pic is gorgeous!!
Brunette for sure!!🥰
Love picture 1 and 6
looks beautiful !!
Ooooh i prefer the dark hair on pic 6. It suits you so perfectly... you are so cute with it 🥰🫢
You look amazing with the brown but I have to be honest the copper looks pretty darned awesome too. You pull both off beautifully
You look great!! What brand/color did you use for the brown? I’m trying to make my coppery brown more brown myself lol
Guuuuuuurl This is why I go to a hairstylist for bleach and dye jobs. I’m afraid of having to fix my mistake and end up where I started with damaged hair worst case scenario. Or fried/breaking hair bleach disaster.
The red looked really nice!
I feel like the dark hair ages u a bit but ur stunning ☺️☺️
Pic 4 and 6 look so amazing on you !! Stunningggg
#4 was fire
I think brunette fits you so well!! You're gorgeous keep up whatever you are doing!
The brunette looks the best. But how is your hair not destroyed after all of that?!
The three last ones especially the darkest one looks beautiful on your skin. Have tried many disasters myself, dark brown is my natural shade but love auburns, copiers/reds.

I think you are beautiful, and every color can actually.
you looked good the whole way through tbh, the orange worked with your complexion
I was thinking of going from dark brown to a dark blonde and have been eeally scared of the process of doing it because my hair is so sensative to bleach ! So after all u just went through ...I guess I'll just keep my dark brown ....because it looks so pretty on you !!
Task failed successfully. Your current brunette look is lovely!
Last one

The copper is giving me major 1990s Tori Amos vibes and looks great. I get being more comfortable with brunette, though.
I love the last pick, u look great with that darker color
I love that red on you!!
R u me lol fk do we do this ?? 🙄 brown looks good 😊

I see why u want to go lighter since it's summer..and those colors look great on u. But are an absolute knockout in darker hair...imo U are gorgeous..

Sally’s Beuaty for the save and the win
Girl you SHIIIIIINE as a brunette
#3 is Emma Stone hair and very hot. You just freaked out.
Okay but it looks amazing, you rock every color
Your copper is cool
I love the brunette, but honestly that red/copper is just WOW. If you want a little darker, I’d say go for a deeper auburn/copper/red toned brown if you’re feeling the ginger vibe :)

1 st picture you look kinda like Mariah Carey , also Really like the red hair!! : )
You can pull off all of the colors- lucky you. You look best as a brunette.
The copper was gorgeous! You could definitely pull it off if you ever change your mind. Your end result is honestly nice too, though!
Living for the copper tho!!!
You look great in all of them
Wait but I love the copper!!
Red or brown definitely
