Hi,I dyed my hair a while ago. Not thinking of the consequences. Now that it has started to grow back it looks terrible. What can I do ?Cutting it is not an option as I have long hair and would like to keep it.Any suggestions.

Please try yo describe your hair in detail as to what it has been subjected to in terms of chemicals and what color it was when it was before it was colored and what color it is now, and I will try to do my best to help. william

Hi William,Thank you for responding. My hair was dark brown before I dyed it. I used a permanent dye called 'Nice N Easy' by clairol. It added a red tint to my hair.Any suggestions?

When you try to color your hair (read lighten) more than a couple of shades brown hair goes through several steps in the lightening process, one of which is orange, red -yellow etc several distinct shades or "levels" of color from darkest to lightest that you achieve with whatever product that you are using. Usually what most people do is think of haircolor as "hairpaint"! NOT!! NO WAY!!.. Haircolor works in conjunction with the natural tones which are present in your hair or with the "ALTERED" color that is present in chemically colored hair. This is why many people wind up with haircolor disasters because they did not take this into account (or know to add this into the haircolor equation!!, before they colored their hair. Try to use a deposit only hair color to correct your hair like Redken Shades. It is totally mixable to come up with your own formula to correct your color woes, and will leave your hair feeling much better. This is a salon only product. william
