I had very blonde hair. I decided to go dark brown. Big mistake! It turned green. I finally went to a Salon. The beauty operator fixed it. First and the main thing is she died it auburn. Then she took it to medium brown. This must mean that if you are going to go from very light blonde to dark brown, you should dye the hair a medium shade of red first. It makes sense.She called the red dye a "filler". Strange that was way way back when I was a teenager. But I always remembered that she said that I would look good as a redhead. Well two decades later I decided to go to red hair. I LOVE IT. I do look best as a redhead! And that dear readers is my story.

> Dear Bryon,> Im just curuoius did you tell your stylist what you> did to your hair? Adout the loving care and the comet?> That could have had an effect on your hair as well.> You cant always blame sytlyist for your own mistakes.> Resecetful, DianeI think you are referrring to me. Bryan's post never made it. Anyway, yes I told her everything that I did to my hair. The loving care is what turned it green. It has metallic dyes in it. NEVER put that stuff on hair that has been colored!!! I wouldn't have either, but I called that clairol hotline to get some good advice and ended up with green hair!
