Help! I had highlights done to my hair with rather bad results. My whole hair now looks bright orange/yellow (I guess too much golden). I would like to make my hair look as natural as posible. My natural color is light brown, a little bit on the golden side. How can I get my color back, or at least a more natural color? Thanks!

Also be sure to do a test strand to preview the tone and correct the formula or timing as ness to compensate for the multiporosity of the highlighted strands. An application of a deep conditioner the night before will help even out the grabbing of the color on the 'lightened' hair. william

Two days ago I had my stylist use Redken Shades EQ to take my hair back to a more natural color. The color she used was a little too dark and red for me, but it still looks and feels 100% better. There are many color combinations available with the shades (I'm going with a lighter shade next time) - I totally recommend it. Good luck!
