thanks Sopie for the reply i did go and see a color correction speicalist " its a place that only colors and corrects bad mistakes. The owner was very honest and i told her that i went to a beauty supply store and they sold me a color remover and all this stuff to redo my hair, which i didn't do cause i was scared to death my hair was going to fall out. The women said thank god because there is nothing i can do until i can get most of the color out. then i need to go to her for her to put highlights through my entire head of hair and then put a glaze over that to have the illiusion of lighter hair. It's going to be very expensive but i can't go around with extremely dark brown hair, i look terrible and i haven't left my house.

cbela...Hi, You don't have to wait for it to grow out. You will have to find someone qualified to help you do it though.

Find a good ColoristStylist. That's my best recomendation.

Sorry to sound so redundent.... hang in there.

OMG.......I just came in to post the same question as you guys. I had light brown hair with just a few highlightes and my hairdresser told me to just do the roots myself, with a product SHE RECOMMENDED. I did this yesterday and my hair came out BLACK! I've tried everything to wash it out with no success. I called her and she said your just going to have to wait for it to fade, FROM BLACK......I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS I ALSO NEED SOME HELP ASAP.....I know what you are going through.

I can't help you, but I just wanted to say you have my sympathy. I went from a lovely light brown with blonde highlights to the color of a new shiny penny with brass highlights. I'm stuck with that for a while too unless I really want to damage my hair. It's been a little over 2 weeks and I have almost 1/4" of new growth. I just keep looking at my natural color at the base of my head with great sadness.... maybe we should all just get together for a good cry.

Hopefully somebody here will know what to do.

BTW, did you go to a salon for this?

I am asian, and my hair was dyed blue black. I've tried Prell, Tide, etc. and it's washed out a blue-ish purple tone out of my hair, but it is still "too" black for me. It looks really harsh against my skin tone. I want to get back to a dark brown color with warmer caramel tones- but still dark brown. The person who dyed my hair blue black (and insisted that I have blue black hair) said that all I can do is wait for it to fade out, unless I really want to hurt my hair by stripping it- which I don't want to do- I don't know if I can wait that long. PLEASE HELP!
