* Bleach removes pigment: Bleach works by stripping the natural pigment (melanin) from your hair. Once blonde, your hair has very little pigment left.
* Color depositing: Hair dye works by depositing color pigment onto the hair shaft. Brown dye needs a base of pigment to adhere to properly.
What to do:
* Toning: You can use a toner to deposit a very light brown or warm tone onto bleach blonde hair, giving it a slight color change. However, this won't be a true brown color.
* Color correction: If you want a true brown color, you'll need to go through a color correction process. This involves depositing color in stages to build up the pigment gradually. A professional stylist can help you achieve the desired brown shade.
Important considerations:
* Hair damage: Bleaching can be damaging to hair, so it's essential to use a deep conditioner and heat protectant products regularly.
* Professional help: For best results, it's always recommended to consult a professional hairstylist for color correction. They can assess your hair's condition and help you choose the right products and techniques.
