Dying over bleach?

I just got back from the salon where I bleached my natural hair colour to a white blonde. I really, really don't like it at all to the point that I'm in tears. I have to go back tomorrow because she's not done (they had to close) so yeah...Can I dye over it tomorrow?

why did you go so light?!

i did that once and it took years for my hair to recover.

you can dye over it, but i would give it a few days. as well, since you have stripped out all of the pigment, you will have to get them to fill in the missing pigment levels and then colour over it. it is time consuming and pricey....the other option would be to do a ton of lowlights, but that might go green if the hair isn't properly filled as well...could you maybe try a new cut or style to see if you like your hair better that way? if you do decide to go darker, make sure you get a really good deep conditioner and a shampoo for colour treated hair, because your hair will probably be really damaged and need some tlc. good luck!

I think I'm actually going to go a bit lighter (it's not completely white...)
I like it a lot, but I also love having black hair. I have a bit of a complex...eek.

Also: I went so light because I'm such a pale girl. I'm a ghost, basically.

I've got a guarantee from my salon and it's good until thursday...If I were to go back and get it dyed a dark brown, would that be okay? Or would it turn green/severely damage my hair?
