Please help!!I finally got up the nerve to get my gray covered and went to a professional this summer to do it. The first time was great. The next time I went in for a touch up, she turned my hair red. I have been going to a different salon ever since to get this corrected. (I am natually a medium brown) This has been going OK with only a little red left. Until today!! My regular stylist had to have surgery so someone else did it for me. She said she would match my roots and use an ash tone to get rid of the red. Well the problem is now I look like Loretta Lynn. I have tried to get back to the salon and they are closed until Tuesday. I am too embarrassed to leave the housePlease help!!!!

You did not say what type of color was used on your hair, whether it was permanent or semi-permanent. Either way it can be "stripped" by using Clairol "uncolor" or "metalax" permanent haircolor remover.(availible at beauty supply stores). This should be left to a pro no matter what you think right now. It is also hard on your hair. What you should do is start an intensive deep conditioning program to help get your hair back in shape for whatever you decide to do. Use Redken "PPT and Extreme" conditioner applied to freashly shampooed hair and leave on 20 mins min. Best to wait for your regular stylist or her reccomended substitute. william.> Please help!!!!

If that's the case, you can try to wash out some of the harsh dark color with shampoo like Prell. I had a similar problem & it helped take out some of the darkness. Wash it w/ the Prell & let it sit on your hair for about 10 min. then rinse. Then condition. Believe it or not, it should start fading on its own within a couple of weeks...but try the Prell too. Good luck! There's nothing like a hair disaster right before the holidays! Believe me, I know. ~Kelly F.> Please help!!!!
