| I told the colorist that I didn't want red. It came out red and seemed to get brassier and redder with time. So I went somewhere else and they did low lights... which looked crappy.. now my hair is breaking off, my natural wave is just frizz and my shine is totally gone. I put a dark semi color over it and also got a big hair cut to get rid of a lot of the damage... now my hair is much shorter than what looks good on me and the color is very dark which doesn't suit me either. I was told by a new colorist that I need to grow out the old color... if she were to do anything to change the color it would damage my hair more... break it more.. etc. Any suggestions... should I lighten it anyway? this is depressing me... |

Listien to your new stylist... sounds like she knows what she is talking about... she could easily take you money and take a shot at it, but she is willing to be patient with you and start over... sounds like a gal/guy that knows what they are talking about... ------------- http://www.specialsoapsbyanna.com - http://www.specialsoapsbyanna.com |

Listen to the new colorist. Overprocessing does your hair no good and will cause further breakage. It happened to me before and I was forced to grow it out. Patience is tough, but the good news that people grow on average 6 inches a year. So that's not so bad as you grow out and then re-do your color. Haircolor will still be around anyway. Go back to that colorist the next time if she's still around. -------------

| i am goign through a similar problem and i am trying to get the red out of my hair. I was told to use ARTEC shampoo and a deep conditioner twice a week and then use a rehydrating shampoo and conditioner for inbetween. I was told in a few weeks the color should really fade and start to bring back my natural tones. I am a natural brunette, so i chose the cocoa bean color, since it is more ashy then red, to take out the redness. hope this helps... |

true further processing will cause damage, but if your really wanting to get rid of hair use an ash color, like light ash brown or anything with "ash " in it, it will tone down the red, a whole lot,in my case my hair is a bit damaged but I used a neutral brown and teh red is almost completely out, now I will use a mix of light ash brown .peroxide and mixed with shampoo to tone it a bit more, anyway deep condition your hair frequently and wait about a month and when its strong enough GO FOR IT! but if your hair is still very weak its best to wait good luck on whatever you decide  ------------- |
