This is gonna be short and to the point: My hair is naturally a medium brown. I tried to dye it darker brown, and it turned out black. Is there any way i can change it back to brown without stripping the color????????

The exact same thing happened to me about 9 months ago. If you are near a Sallys go in and ask them what product they use for getting the black out. I didnt use that product but heard it was a good product to use. Instead I used a stripper on my hair and after the color was out I put a light to medium brown color on that I could live with. It took about 6 months for the condition to improve. I used all of Sallys products and they worked wonders. Good luck

I wouldn`t use a stripper on your hair, you could end up with very dry, brittle hair what`s even worse then black hair, give it some time and use a good clarifying shampoo, the black`ll probably fade to a dark brown after a month or so
I am not a color expert, but I can tell you this much from personal experience: getting black dye out is very, very difficult and most likely will involve stripping the color and leaving your hair rather fried. You`d be better off forking over the cash at a salon than attempting it yourself. But be forewarned: your hair probably won`t be in the same condition afterwards as it was pre-color. Perhaps you could get some subtle lighter brown highlights all over, which will give you a more natural look while the black grows out.

Hi! I did the same thing last October. I went to my stylist and she stripped it and colored it a gorgeous chestnut color. I would never have tried it at home. She used very gentle products and my hair feels absolutely wonderful. As a matter of fact. I got it trimmed with her at that time (Oct 5,2002) and i still don`t need a trim - I have layers too. I am growing it out so i am seeing how long I can go without a trim. I thought with the color change that i would have needed to go in but my hair feels and looks solid - no splits.
go to a salon that offers a service called modulat- it is a sulfur solution that they can use to dissolve all of the black dye and it will not damage your hair
The same thing has happened to me so I went to a local drug store and purchased a color stripper. I know that this can damage your hair so instead of stripping my hair to the maximum time the instructions said, I only did it until I could actual see my hair getting slightly lighter about five minutes then I rinsed it out. The results turn out good considering what my hair looked like before. I just made sure I conditioned my hair well afterwards and I didn`t have to add any more color to my hair. Beth
