You could dye it all black or else wear a burqa to your appointment and keep it on until you get to the hairdresser.

Thank you Radish. I have a big bottle of (orange though) Vit. C tabs. so will give it a go although might not work as fast as tomorrow, will still be good to do.

Pineterest is very interesting. Will certainly try with the hints.

Thanks again.

No problems Phyl...let me know if anything works.   That site, Pininterest has lots of information on it.

Phyl...just read about your predicament.....have you got a nice plain scarf you could tie sort of bandeau style or ...maybe a hat ..I'm a great hat person myself. Can't think of anything else!! lol

Must have forgotten to say "in post" so lost it, dosn't matter. :)

I just wrote, I am still sitting here in p.j's with a shower cap on hair covered in (orange Vit. C crushed caps) as leaving it on for hours, before I shower it off.

Lazy day today watching hired pics. Love Sundays.

I have caps and scarves and a few nice wigs ( I was bald after treatment) so have plenty of things to fall back on - I like my own hair though, but it really is a not a big deal.

Sprayed my hair with heaps of Eucalyptus spray yesterday but did nothing, other than I smelled like the bush, but rather nice I must say. I do not think I will take colour out of my natural colour,  hoping just the black streaks.

Be good folks - nah have fun lol.

Thank you kindly Robi. and Radish and Fleur.

Phyl, deathly silence from you on this LOL.

What was the result of the Vitamin C...hope you dont have orange streaks now ;)

Semi-permanent and permanent dyes particularly the darker dyes have some chemicals that may cause cancer.  Apparently the Semi- permanent and permanent dyes are of greatest potential concern as the dyes are absorbed by the hair shaft.

Vanity could take years of your life and give you a slow paiful death.  So it is recommended if you must, then use temporary dyes which cover the surface of the hair but don’t penetrate into the hair shaft.

These only last for 1 to 2 washings - unbelievable that semi and permanent hair dyes are still allowed on the market.

Hi Phyl, I believe that you cant dye a dark colour to a lighter one, so the only thing to do is to strip the colour from your hair (bleach / peroxide or some other agent) and then dye it the colour you want. I dont know of any products you can use at home so it might be an expensive trip to the hairdresser (or a beanie).

My knucklehead daughter did aweful things to her hair as a teenager then had a conniption when she suddenly got an interview for a job she desperately wanted. Sooo.......I am familiar with your predicament - best of luck matey.

Thanks for that Abby - we wouldnt want our mate Phyl doing anything that might cause her harm. So, its back to the beanie, I suppose  :)

I hope Phyl has got her hair sorted by now.  Abby, that is an interesting snippet you just put up, thanks for that. 

The Cancer Council USA says there is no proof that hair dye causes cancer. 

Must admit it makes no sense to me that it would cause cancer if one uses foils so that no dye touches the scalp. Hair is dead so the body would not absorb anything the shaft absorbs.

Hi folks.

The vit. c. albeit they were orange, lol did a part job, so good enough for me to not have to wear a wig or beanie, so when I do the treatment again I think I will look back to normal

You are right Robbie the hair is dead. Cannot hurt to streak :)

Some time back a newspaper article said "runners" can cause cancer. There would be millions with cancer surely if this were true. Anyway we all live our lives doing what we want. Remember when eggs were a no no and coffee and the list re cancer, just goes on and being dismissed some time later.  

Difficult somedtimes to decide what to do.
