:( Bad Hair color

> Over the summer, my medium/dark brown hair has gotten> much lighter, and with the help of lighteners, the> sun, etc...it had turned a lighter brown with lots of> red and blonde highlights. With the cold weather> season coming, I decided to try to get my hair back to> its natural color. I used L'oreal Castings in Cocoa,> and I HATE the way the color turned out. Its just> darker than I expected, and I miss my blonde and red> highlights. Since this is only a semi-permanent color,> is there any way to resurrect my old highlights, or am> I stuck with this color?Bleach cap to remove color and use a filler next time before coloring. Never use semi-permanent over processed hair, at least with my luck it just doesn't work; use permanent and low volume peroxide (which some would say is semi-permanent) but maybe it just the use of professional products instead of over the counter stuff.OH yeah after you remove color you need to make sure that you put protein back int hair, so condtion it and be careful of bleach caps, they can play hell on the hair. good luck=)
