We all ask for advice from time to time.
And, when it comes to our hair, we just want to know what looks good. And one woman decided to ask Reddit for some tips after colouring her hair for the best part of two decades.
She shared a picture of her blonde locks, with her brunette roots coming through, to show people the predicament she's been left in. But the viral response she received online was nothing like what she could have imagined.
Alongside the picture, she wrote: "So I’m a natural brunette, who has dyed her hair for nearly 20 years (used to just be highlights, then moved to balayage, now full blonde). The thing is I’m really bad at going in often to get my roots touched up, but everyone kind of loves my grown out roots, but the thing is they notice and they tell me.
"Should I go back to balayage? Is there something else I should try (root smudge or something else I’m not aware of)? I’m currently doing a botanical hair repair treatment from Aveda.

"I wash my hair about twice a week and switch between a moisturising Paul Mitchell shampoo and a purple shampoo. I do a deep conditioning mask once a week and then a purple conditioner the other wash day.
"I end my showers cold, so I close the hair follicle. I do a k18 treatment about every other week.
"My roots never match my length after my girl bleaches the roots (should she be toning them differently, roots vs length?) I need some guidance I’m going to see her on the 21st to get rid of these roots. I really like being blonde but not sure I’m up for the maintenance schedule."
Since she shared the post hundreds of people have commented on it, and it wasn't long before people started trolling her. She really didn't expect to her the response she received.
One person said: "It needs cut off absolutely. Nothing you put on it will bring it back to life and it’ll be a waste of money. But if you’d like to stay blonde, I recommend switching to a high lift colour instead of bleach. Ask your stylist to switch.
"It usually will not be level 10 banana yellow blonde but you can still get to a level 9-7 with a high lift root touch up done every 4-6 weeks. If you do this you have to go every 4 weeks because the heat of the scalp is what activates the lightening agent in high lift color if you don’t you’ll have banding because of too much regrowth."
Another chimed in with: "This may come off rude but I’m just trying to be blunt because I see so many people ruin their hair trying to maintain a bleach blonde look. Your hair looks fried and damaged.
"I would really recommend just dying it all brown, maybe with some highlights and then just letting it chill out. I promise healthy hair, no matter the colour, looks way better than crusty, damaged blonde."
A third replied: "I agree. It’s the same answer every time; stop bleaching/dying. It’s the only way to stop the excessive damage. So many people would have beautiful hair if they embraced their natural colour."
Meanwhile, a fourth commented: "It's not rude. I'm a natural blonde, and it kills me seeing women fry their hair to be all blonde. It's unbelievable the amount of yellow, crusty blonde I see.

"ESPECIALLY when a light brown with some highlights would look absolutely gorgeous and much better than the blonde they try to pull off. A nice money piece to frame the face too. It would look so beautiful on OP. Healthy hair is 1000x prettier than damaged blonde."
