Q. My natural hair color is an ashy light brown. When I was 16 I decided to color it a dark brown. When I was 17 I decided to color it a chocolate cherry color (brown with red undertones). Then when I was 18 I did not like the color and wanted to go back to my natural color, so I got it professionally lifted/bleached, toned, and then redyed. Now I'm 20 and my color is starting to fade back to this ugly strawberry blonde brown color. I've been very busy with school so I haven't had time to go back to the salon, so lately I've just been covering it all up with a box color: medium ash brown color. It looks fine for a few weeks, then goes back to this color. SO... a few months later, I stopped coloring my hair altogether to grow out my roots. My roots are now about an inch or 2 long so you can clearly see the difference in my natural color, and this yucky color. I'm on vacation now in another country, but after vacation I plan on going to the salon to get it done. I have saved up money, so that's not an issue. I'll be willing to pay whatever it takes to just make it look nice again hah. I added 3 pictures of what my hair looks like now. All of them are taken in natural lighting.
I've tried doing some research on what I could do to my hair at the salon. So far I've come up with the idea of getting full foil lowlights, coloring the entire thing, or toning it. But I'm not really sure which is the best option for me.
Basically, I want to have my natural color back. Right now it just seems too warm toned and too light... like a strawberry bronde. What I'm looking for is a light ash brown, or a medium brown with some highlights. Not sure. But could ANYONE give me advice on what to do??? Like I said before, I am on vacation and can't go to the salon now, therefore I can't ask any professional advice until I get back. I'd just like an idea of what I should consider doing about this situation.
Here are pictures of my hair now:

Answer
ADDING another layer of chemicals on your hair will ONLY take longer to get to your natural color.
Celebrity wears two-tone hair dye all the time, trying to grow out their dye. They call that the ombre style.
Style meets chemistry meets biology: We're talking hair coloring.
Playing with chemicals is not like playing with clothes, or doing a manicure, there are penalties for playing chemicals in the lab. Even hair color experts at the salon are not rocket scientists, they do a bang up dye jobs to their clients or their own hair.
Chemicals can enter the body through the skin.

London, Feb 20, 2013 I've been saying that since 2009.
Hair dyes, which include home hair colouring kits and those used at pricey salons, are linked to deadly cancer-causing chemicals, warn scientists. In 2009 the Mail revealed that women who used hair dyes more than nine times a year had a 60% greater risk of contracting blood cancer.
A year later the European Commission banned 36 hair dyes which put long-term users at risk of bladder cancer. < < < <â¨
Google: Teen 'feared she would die' after reaction to hair dye
The allergic reaction was caused by a well-known brand of semi-permanent hair dye Chloe used to turn her hair black for a Halloweâen party. . . . . called for beauty bosses to ban hair dye chemical PPD (para-phenylenediamine) from the shelves. 11-04-11
The chemical is not new and is present in a number of brands of dark hair colours, acting to help adhere the dye to the hair so that it doesn't wash out. Itâs made from coal tar and is used in both permanent and semi-permanent hair colours. Itâs well-known to be a cause of serious allergic reactions -- including something called contact dermatitis which can lead to rashes, blisters, and open sores.
PPD is sometimes added to black henna tattoos and that using them is not safe. Allergic reactions usually begin within two to 10 days following application. One bad reaction can lead to sensitivities to other products such as hair dye, sunblock and some types of clothing dyes. Oftentimes, it's using the product a second or third time. Skin specialist Najjia Ashraf reveals that there are barely any dyes that donât contain this toxin; even the ones who claim they donât, are not being honest. âBig brands often escape the blame by suggesting they are ammonia-free. However, ammonia and PPD are two very different things and PPD is present in nearly every dye because it is what gives off the colour,â she explains.
Google: A 38-year old mother left in a coma after using hair dye. SHE DYED HER HAIR MANY TIMES BEFORE, USING THE SAME BRAND. The British woman who went into coma after a reaction to hair dye has died after a year. Updated 11-25-12. The woman suffered a heart failure, struggled for breath and became unconsciousness. Her family blamed paraphenylenediamine, a chemical found in hair colour. Her family has now called for paraphenylenediamine to be banned from home dye kits. In 2000, a 38-year-old Indian-origin woman from Birmingham, Narinder Devi, died after an allergic reaction to hair dye.
Permanent black hair dye is linked to causing leukemia and lymphomas.

Should I get Hair Extensions?
Maren
I have red curly hair that is about to my shoulders. I want to get these hair extensions in 27/30
One Piece long curl/curly/wavy hair extension clip-on
Should I?
Answer
Well I have hair that is probably close to your length, but mine is naturally super straight. I have 18 inch hair extensions. I really like them because you can do so much since you have more hair. And all my friends say that if I wouldn't have told them they would have thought it was my own hair. :D I think that curly hair looks great long. And since it's red it would look gorgeous! I say do it. :3 Plus you can find some super cheap ones. If you don't already have some in mind check out this site: hairextensionsale.com
That's where I got mine. :3 Hope it helps! And good luck!
