3 days ago I used Clairol Hydrience Peral Black permanent color on already color treated hair (a salon dye job of dark brown was fading to red). I don't know what I expected, but I now am the "proud" owner of shoe polish black hair with absolutely no highlights or shine. It looks extremely fake. Is there any way to tone down or lighten the black effect without coloring it again (home or salon). Any home remedy? A friend told me washing your hair several times with dishwashing soap would lessen the color.
It will fade a little that's for sure if you've only just dyed it, and
it will tend to fade to a black/brown, especially if that's whats
underneath. Dandruff shampoo always worked best for fading my
hair colour that had gone too dark.
There is another solution though, a color remover such as Colorfix or
Goldwell is gentle on the hair compared to bleaching, and it will take
your hair down to a brown again depending on how long you leave it
on. After I stripped my black hair (it was also dull and
unnatural looking after a while) it left me with a mid brassy brown,
which I had to dye over to reduce orange tones, but my hair was glossy
again, and I was thrilled. My hair LOOKED healthy, and that was
the important thing for me.
Always strand test before colour removing or dyeing to determine your
preferred results, I learned this the hard way like so many others!!!

I think you should skip it at home remedys. I ended up
doing nearly the same thing as you and tried them all. None of
them worked for me, and they all dried out my hair very badly. It felt
like straw when wet. Colorfix took the color up to a nice brown
color, and didn't damage seem to damage my hair.
However if you would like to try the at home remedys-
* dish soap + shampoo- lather and let sit on hair for 15 minutes
*baking soda + shampoo- same as above
* Prell or Tar shampoo- lather and let sit
*Deep condition after all of these!

I used Herbal essences Sapphire black and it made my hair silky and
shiny and smooth. I used FERIA black when I was a teenager and it made
my hair look fake and made it frizz. It all depends on the color. Let
it fade and maybe apply a light or dark chocolate brown..
