I do ask questions on here all the time, no relationship problems right now though! It's about my hair. I recently got a haircut in march. It was way shorter than I wanted. As it is growing back in it is awful looking, I'd describe it if I could but it's difficult. The top is much shorter than the bottom basically. I bought hair extensions because I just couldn't stand it anymore the way it's looking. My hair is a hard color to match so I made sure to buy human hair extensions that can be dyed to match. Now when I got that awful haircut she convinced me to do blonde highlights, which looked terrible on me (I won't ever be going back there, don't worry). So when buying the extensions I was told to get the closest match then dye it the color I need, as long as it is a darker shade, they cannot be lightened. The ones I got matched pretty closesly, brown with blonde highlights, but not perfectly. I dyed my own hair with box dye my original brown just to get the highlights out. It turned out fine, just my regular hair. I then dyed the extensions the same box color. I did a strand test first to make sure it would turn out ok. It looked great, matched fine. But when I did the whole head set of extensions the blonde parts weren't the correct brown color as the rest. So when put on my head some matches perfectly and some is much lighter/doesn't match at all. Sorry for so much back story but here's my question. Can I buy the same box dye I did the rest of the hair with again and dye just the blonde parts over again? I don't know if that would work to make it just a tad darker or what would happen. I really hope someone has experience with hair coloring and can help me out. Thanks! Reply to this Question

I don't know if I was helpful but you could try asking on yahoo as well...

 There is a phone number on the back of all drugstore hair dyes. They can answer any questions you may have about when you can re-dye etc...
