Okay, naturally, my hair is a light golden brown with a little bit of red in it. Right now, it's a dark chocolate brown with long purple tips - long, like, the purple is about half of my hair. Under the purple (and kind of peeking out since the purple is fading), my hair was bleached to blonde. School's starting soon, and I have to dye over the blonde/purple so that my hair is all one shade. I hope to find a color that's close enough to my natural color so that I can grow out my hair - I'm getting sick of dying it and I sort of miss my natural color. So here's my questions - 1.) I know this is hard without a picture of my natural color, but will something close to it be able to cover over the dark brown & blonde evenly (so I don't have some weird line around my head)? 2.) How long will it take to grow out my hair? (I know it'll take years, but give me a guess.) It grows about 1/2 inch in 2 months, and the longest layer just grazes my shoulder. Thanks in advance. =) Oops... in the title, I meant 'dyeing'... not 'dying'. I need typing lessons. =P
