well if it is fully white then you will have to get it done by a hardresser they have all the kit for it , instead of buying a bottle that would just make your hair worse soo its best that you go to the hairdressers..i hope ii could help

if you striped your hair to blonde and want it brown it is best to go to the salon so they can add the pigments back that you took out don't try it yourself unless you have some experience with color correction. good luck

 CAN DO!!!

It is easy to dye bleach-blonde hair back to brown (any shade) w/o paying salon prices. First thing...do not ever but your dye from Wal-Mart or any kind of pharmacy! Always buy from a Sally's or a place that you have to buy the dye & the developer separate. Box kits will turn your hair crazy colors. You'll first have to put on a light red permanent color or a copper dye (about 10 min.), wash it out, then dye your hair with the brown color you're wanting. It will work & save you $$!

Hey email me back on this - do I need to wash out the red then go brown on wet hair or dry my hair first? I've read various opinions on that..

Wah dry.Depending on porosity use 10 volume deposit only , or 20 and 30 for leveling, You may need a Hair Cut,It is Fun And UPLIFTING... bUT BE PREPARED FOR COLOR CORRECTION.THAT IS NOT CHEEP.

first,deep condition your probably parched hair.[i know have done the whole bleached hair thing before!] doesnt have to be top of the line just a deep penetrating conditioner. Then pick out a dark brwn. dye to match you coloring, warm, cool, etc. give your hair 2, 3. or even 4 days post conditioning treatment and color it! no need to do any colors first , like someone mentioned before,. Your hair in this bleached state is like a blank canvas! if you are concerned about porosity buy a bottle of Neutral hair filler at the beauty supply store like sallys or the such.no need to rinse out the filler either by the way! GOOD LUCK i wouldnt steer you wrong .......... enjoy your new color!
