How to Fix a Bad Dye or Bleach Hair Job

At some point in time in many women's (and men) lives, they experience a bad dye job. Whether you think you're dying your hair one color and it comes out wrong or you just made a mistake, it's always a huge disappointment and problem. A mistake commonly made is trying to re-dye the hair, which can leave it burned, stringy and unhealthy. Instead of trying to dye over the hair, the color needs to be stripped of its pigment, then re-dyed. Stripping the dyed hair will remove all color (dyed and natural). But this will nourish the hair and leave it ready to be re-dyed safely. Does this Spark an idea?
