I read the FAQ in the BB site but I just want to see how it affected anyone

I have the back of my hair dyed a chestnut brown color (the front is blonde). The BB lightened the chestnut color at least 3-4 shades. It actually came out as a dark blonde. I was told to wait until 2 weeks after the BB to have the hair redone. I had it re-dyed yesterday when I was getting my roots touched up.

For my next BB appointment they are going to do color at the same time (color first, then BB). They are going to touch up my roots (blonde) and dye the back of my hair a couple of shades darker to compensate for the color loss that occurs with the BB.

great i'm happy it doesn't strip off the BB and good thing your color situation is fixable. i'm looking forward to this. i've been debating for soooo long:D

You can add color to a BB without damaging the blowout. Subtracting color (bleaching) will damage the BB. My hairdresser was very careful when bleaching out my roots yesterday to make sure that none of the bleach got on the hair that was treated with the BB.

You will love the BB! :smile1:
 
I thought you could get the BB with highlights? Is this not true?

Yes - do your highlights first. You can re-highlight your hair later. Highlights are only done only on sections of hair infrequently, so damage would be minimal.

My whole head (with the exception of the back bottom) is bleached out to a near platinum blonde. To pull all that bleach through the hair every 4 weeks would damage the BB.
 
I am having the BB done tomorrow! I am scared and excited lol. My hair is long almost at small of my back and wavy. I get it straight with a chi but I moved last year and have been dealing with humity. I am very very worried something will go wrong :( but I am gonna take the chance. I will try to post pictures.
 
Have any of you experienced any damage or hair loss with these keratin treatments? I almost had the Kerasmooth version done, but after reading post after post from people who have lost their hair from this I was scared off. Apparently the copolla (sp?) one is one of the worst but many people have experienced it with the others also.
