yeah I did this once, I had blonde foils over light brown hair done at the hairdresser and I haaated it, and I put over the top a darker brown dye, one of those (permanent) DIY things you can buy at supermarkets and it was fine, the blonded bits went a caremel sort of colour

if u go to the hairdresser they usually put a red dye through ur hair first, then dye it brown - i think this is only if u want a really even cover

the blonde bits wont go as dark as the darker bits of you hairl will but i've done it before and it turned out orite.

putting a dye in your hair at home is like putting conditioner or shampoo in your hair. only your wearing gloves, and the dye can stain.

I color my own hair at home, its heaps easy. You just have to distribute the color evenly and get it on all your hair, dont forget to do underneath, and rub vaseline around your hairline and on your ears, its easier to get off dye that has gone on your skin, or use alcohol wipes after the color is appliedm, then the dye on your skin easily comes off.

It doesn't turn completely brown, it goes like a lightish browny colour.

Nah, your hair should be fine. The blonde parts will obviously be a bit lighter, but, it may look better than all one colour. Just be careful when you do it, some chick dyed her hair at home and came to school on Monday and she had black stuff all over her face and hands.

I think it may only be chlorine that turns blonde hair green.
my stepsisters hair turned green and she started crying and i pissed myself laughing every time i saw her hair. she was so mad at me, then started crying coz i was laughing at her.

i always do my hair myself, or with my sister, but the last time i had a voucher so went to the hair dresser and she was like, if you go blonde to brown you have to strip it first because otherwise the colour won't stay. and when i think about it that's true, it has happened to me, but if it bothers you then you just buy another packet of hairdye and you're still better off than hairdressers.

except if you are unco like me, and mess black hair dye down yr sister's neck/forehead so her face hairs/neck hairs were black. so i was like ooh must wax, but she was like no way, so just got all chemicals out of the garage and attempted to remove dye. and then put the cloth she'd used in the washingmachine with my mum's bedsheets. hairdye excitement
