Dying brown hightlighted hair back to its natural colour?

I have mid-brown hair which has been highlighted with a few shades of blonde. I would now like to go back to my natural colour and was planning to do this with a DIY kit at home.

Can I just follow the instructions of the box or do I need to prepare my hair for this first - wouldn't want the highlights to show through the redyed colour or for those sections to fade quickly.

Any advice would be great!

Surely you need to strip the hair of its existing colour first.

I'm also transitioning back from blonde to brown, but I'm having it done professionally. We're taking it very slowly, by first leaving in some blonde highlights and dying everything else a very light brown. I haven't been very happy with the results, as the dye has quickly faded to a very light brown/dark blonde quickly, so I think no matter what you do a home dye will fade somewhat rapidly. But since home dyes are cheap, it probably wouldn't hurt for you to do it every month or so until your highlights have grown out. As for preparing your hair, since you are transitioning back to dark, it is probably NOT a good idea to strip your hair color first. I'd consult a professional though. Good luck!

i work in a hairdressers - depending on the blondes in your hair depends on how long it will take for the highlights to re-emerge. if your highlights are bleach those strands of hair will find it very difficult to hang onto any colour no matter how dark for very long, if they are darker blondes the colour will stay for longer - however doing it yourself will always mean that you may end up with the hair dye taking perfectly to your natural hair and not to your blonde so you could be left a few quid poorer with your hair looking the same. i would personally suggest going to a salon and having a chat with one of they're stylists and see what they can do for you. if all you want is an all over tint you probably will only have to pay 鎷?5 - 30 better than having t constantly redye your hair as your unable to get the effect you really want. hope this helps xx
