I feel for you in this area I have dark hair and so many times the salon has taken the foils off my hair to EARLY and I hate running around with that Reddish or ORANGE look also.

For some reason some parts of my head turn the blonde and some are still in the orange stage.

Its the hardest thing to cover up and and takes too many months to fade out.

I have used that color stick from Sallys to put on the Orange stripes when the hair is dry.
It makes it a brown or a better color at least but this is a hassle depending on how many Pieces I have to work with.

This alot of extra work thats for sure.

Its also very hard for the Salon to refoil all them pieces to try to fix them. They never can get the same pieces each time.

I also get permanent color on my hair so when i go back in we color the ends for so many minutes.

it doesn't hold too many wks on me and the Orange is back but in time it does fade but to suffer till then it really SUCKS...

It all makes me mad I see so many women with Highlighted hair and it looks so great and I always wonder why can't mine be like that also.

I have tryed different salons and they all do the same crap to me they get in a big hurry and don't let my pieces turn.

Very few times was it done on me and it all looked fine.

I want highlighted hair so bad but I am scared anymore to get it done.

Good Luck
