 That is because ends are porous and grab more color. (I have had the opposite problem,ends are too light) You could try starting with the roots and middle first and then the ends. A good trim may help.

Your correct jules'....lol...hi everybody!...depending on what shade your starting with and how many levels away from the desired color you are...you should actually  begin from mid-strand....then going up to the roots...and for the finish ...10 minutes till you rinse...the ends...are last because of their porosity.. the usual method of applying to the roots first...doesn't really apply....unless your hair is virgin'---jet black...or your covering greys'....and if you have 'progressive' coloring in which you have literally colored your hair so much that it has layers of colors which concentrate due to the porosity....you should be beginning mid-strand so as to give the darker hair a head start in lifting...because the heat from your scalp will always process the color faster at the roots...Thumbs%20Up

Helllo mahogany! thank you. Haircolor boxes always say to the roots first (which I never do) because you are right it does process faster and then you get roots that are lighter/brighter then the rest of the hair.
