I had been getting my hair highlighted for long enough that I knew how damaging and irreversible the consequences could be, and yet I let my impatience get the better of me. I wanted a fix right then, and the colorist picked up on that panic.
Which led to her panic, which then led to a whole lot of inappropriately applied bleach, which ultimately led to the mother of all panic: horribly damaged hair.
So not worth it. Instead, wait it out and then go back and see what the options are for color adjustment without using bleach.
