Color Oops and Re-Dying?

It's all done, and I'm back to my 'natural' brunette locks. 

I waited a day after using Color Oops to re-dye.  I decided to use a demi-permanent.  I didn't want to continue to damage with permanent dyes. 

I used L'oreal Color Gems in Natural Brown.  For those who may be thinking about using this line, I highly recommend.  (So far.  I will update when it begins to fade.)  However....I did a lot of reading about the L'oreal Color Gems line before I took the plunge.  Almost every single review says the recommended processing time leaves the color very dark. 

The instructions say to leave the color on anywhere between 10 and 20 minutes.  My hair being super porous after the Color Oops and also not wanting a super dark color, but a nice natural brown, left the mixture on my hair for a total of 5 minutes.  (I had to work very quickly)

It game out evenly and with exquisite color and shine.  It was also left very soft considering using a permanent color, stripping out said color, and re-dying within 7 days of each other. 

Hope this helps someone :)

I have a simpler problem. I was brown and wanted to get back to blonde. I had such color buildup from dying it brown the past year. I had to bleach it a few times which damaged my hair. But I did chopped it off! But still couldn't get it blonde like I wanted it was still so orangey and had white roots. Anyways I used a demi cause i didn't want anymore damage and I used a meduim brown and it came out ok but kinda blochy I look like i have 5 different colors going on in my head! it was fine the first few days but all my healthy hair the demi started washing out and is almost blonde looking and reddish and the parts of my hair that sucked the color in are still so dark. But if you think your hair is healthy then a demi would be fine it will just deposit color but demis fade really fast.
