Its been a couple weeks and it hasnt faded much. I would really like to be a lighter brown but so afraid it will turn out horrish. So any advice how to go about this??? Replies: Posted By: korsakovhatt3 Date Posted: November 01 2004 at 12:32pm Don't put any more dye on your hair -- dye won't lift the darker brown colour. It will just damage your hair and could result in some pretty funky (and darker) colours. Can you afford to go to a pro? That is your safest option. What you'll need is a colour remover (i.e. ColorFix) to get out the dark brown and probably bleaching to an even tone afterwards. (Time the bleaching carefully. Overbleaching the previously highlighted areas could result in breakage.) Then, you can dye it to your desired light brown shade. If you decide to do this at home, make sure you do test strands before you put any colour on your hair. I really think it is best to get a pro who specializes in colour correction to do all of this stuff for you, though. Good luck. ------------- My user name is WAY too long. Just call me Juliana. :-)
