Was wondering if there are any blonde travelers that can help me out with this? So i have bleached blonde hair, its a block colour. Can you find enough hairdressers that can deal with blonde hair in your travels? Last time i went to Thailand (Chiang mai) i went to a hairdresser and said they had no idea how to do the colour. I did only try the one place however!

High-end salons in malls in the cosmopolitan big cities (Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore) can handle it. Otherwise, even if you find someone who's willing to attempt it that hasn't done it before, you probably won't be too happy with the results.

Honestly, I'd just buy some really good leave-in conditioner, a anti-brass shampoo, and suffer through the dark roots 'til I got home.

I am in the same situation, bleached blonde hair, but instead of dark roots I am completely gray! Not willing to have gray hair for 14 mos.
My solution: My hairdresser has sold me the color & taught me how to mix it. I will take 2-3 doses with me initially & I have friends meeting me along the way who will bring along the rest.
I plan on going to a salon to have them apply it so I get an even application.
I know it sounds kind of crazy & a lot of work just for hair, but gray is something i just won't do.

I just realized i posted this thread in 'travel deals' - fail!

Thank you for your fee back, what i think i might do is get foils in my regrowth so it wont look so dirty when it grows out.

Savory gal, do you have to take much in regards to beach powder? That might even be a option.. i really don't want to loose my blonde hair to my yucky natural colour! Might have a chat to my hairdressers

good thing a bleached blonde was looking for travel deals!

The solution I take is a gel and a total of 3 oz for each application. (2 oz of developer & 1 oz of color) which is handy since each bottle is still within the limits for carry on liquids.

I would ask your hairdresser to hook you up.

Hi!

I just went to get blonde hilights out in today in Chiang Mai.

Before I left I thought natural hair was a good idea, but I was so bored, and desperate to find a good colorist. I was recommended to Nan at Siam Sexy Salon.

I went there today and asked for some bright, but natural looking blonde highlights. She did such a great job. I was skeptical at first but it turned out great. My hair looks naturally lightened. No orange, brass, etc which I was scared of running into with inexperienced blonde artists.

Not only was the cut and colour great, but the price was outstanding. 600baht for cut, highlights, style. On top of that, Nan was a real pleasure. Here English is great (although she thinks it has far to go) but the communication barrier was not there. I would definitely recommend her.

She is located near Wat Jot temple. [url=tel:080-8602710]080-8602710[/url]
