Hair Dye Answers

I know I’m crazy, because I was sick & tired of my long hair, so I cut 8 inches off, dyed it dark brown, & added red streaks to it. well I LOVE the color, & I was real happy with the cut for awhile, but now I’m starting to regret cutting all those inches off after it was so long. I’m always switching opinions on it. The grass is always greener on the other side, I guess. Are there any tips on helping it grow out again???

I made a mistake & let my friend cut my hair, well m ymom took me in to get it fixxed, & now its too short for my league. i’m only 13 & seriously need a way to grow my hair long.
Also can someone tell me a good reason to dye my hair my mom is making me wait until im 16 unless I have a good readon & Expressing my personality” isnt good enough.
Please help me out!

Here’s the scoop: I am an idiot. I jumped the gun & decided to add some highlights to my dark blonde roots to blend better with the rest of my blonde hair. I only did a few & they ended up turning into peachy blobs on my head after the max 45 mins. It didn’t actually look THAT bad & was fixable. Then I got a really really stupid idea & got boxed golden brown dye. I thought I could just go over the peachy blobs & get it back to how it looked in the begining.
It ended up turning my roots a hideous coppery warm color & the rest of my hair completely ashy & DISGUSTING.
(I decided to just cover my whole head instead of the peachy colored blobs).
Needless to say I started scrubbing & washing my hair immediately after I did the initial rinse. I’ve washed my hair 10 times already today.
I looked at the box & another mistake is that it was permanent but amonia free.
Here’s my question, will Amonia free permanent hair dye fade faster then if it had Amonia in it??
