Hi there,
Have just popped over from extensions as I have a colour problem...
Dont know if you ladies can help, but I coloured my hair (supposedly light brown ) at the weekend and its gone virtually black especially at the ends.
Is there anything I can do to lift the colour sightly? It donent'n *not* suit me, its just a bit shcoking going from a reddy, golden, blondie light brown to near black.
Friends have said they think its fine but my mum says its awful (she's an ex hairdresser)
TIA

First,you could just try washing it ALOT with something harsh such as dishwashing liquid (dawn,ajax) Or I think Rebekah has even said Tide works before.
If that doesnt work,(but most darker colors fade tremendously the first two weeks)
You could use a color remover product. Was it permante color or a semi/temp color? For a semi,there is a great product called METALEX.
It is oil based and takes the color out without much damage.
For permante,there is colorzap and now the new Color oops by Loreal.
It is important to know that after using these products you will need to recolor.This time be sure to do a strand test and make sure the color isnt too dark.Always go with a color that is slightly lighter then the color you are aiming for.
Sounds like your hair was rather porous and that is way it grabbed the color so much.You may need to slightly trim your ends.
(the Metalex and Color zap can be found at Beauty supply stores such as Sally's or online.Color oops can be found at Rite Aid)
