HELP- ILLUMINOUS HAIR!

They`re Americans, molkette- they won`t answer a British person in need! Stick to the UK site

How would Americans even know who is American, British, Swedish, etc-it`s not like a flag goes up saying NOT AN AMERICAN DON`T ANSWER THIS POST.

Very good advice from Wakeup. I suggest you condition your hair a few times before any recoloring. If your hair is only mildly orange, you can try using a very, very low peroxide demi-permanent color in a cool brown or a dark blonde. If this doesn`t work or if you already look like Ronald McDonald, go to a professional colorist. He/she can get you back to your original color with minimal damage to your hair. Chalk the entire thing up as a learning experience and a funny story for the grandkids. For future reference, this happens quite frequently. So much so that it is covered in the Clairol Professional Color Correction Guide. Here is a formulaic solution to that problem that should work (a color specialist may have a better, easier solution): Quoted from the Clairol Professional Site: Recommend a soft neutral Level 6-Dark Blonde color using a gentle, nonammonia product like Complements Long-Lasting Semi-Permanent True Tone Gel Color. By combining neutral and blue/violet Complements shades, the formula will help neutralize the gold-orange base. Here`s how: 1. Mix the following formula in a bottle or bowl: 1-1/2 oz. Complements Semi-Permanent Gel Color 6N-S Dark Natural Blonde 1/2 oz. Complements Semi-Permanent Gel Color 6A-S Dark Ash Blonde 2 oz. Complements Color Prompter 2. If the client`s hair exhibits extreme porosity, apply the formula to damp hair, first at the scalp and 1-inch out, then down the shaft to the ends. 3. Strand-test to determine timing, checking every 5 minutes up to 15 minutes. 4. When desired results are achieved, rinse, shampoo and condition. I sincerely hope you never have to use this formula. Good luck!
