Hi There,
I need help quick! I used a permanent hair color, Revlon High Dimension in the Ultra Baby Soft blonde color. The lightest in that brand. It certainly did what it was supposed to do and the color was pretty, BUT, I looked like a white cotton ball...NOT PRETTY! It was wayyyyyy to light, almost platinum. Anyways, I waited a week and re-colored with a same Revlon brand, but a Light Blonde color hoping it would just tone it down a little but still a light blonde color......WRONG! What I ended up with is a medium, mousy blonde with a almost green tinge to the shaft and the ends...the roots look ok. Is their anything I can do to correct this, perhaps with a toner product, or a semi-permanent.....ANYTHING. My natural hair color is a medium, mousy blonde color....not what I want. Did this happen because It was so light before that I didn`t have any gold or red natural tones in my hair? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

The best thing would be to go to the salon and have it fixed. Or call the 800 # on the box and tell them what happen and ask them what you should do.
However, something like that happened to me before. I bought a semi- perm light red color (castings) and colored my hair with that. It was a little red for a few days, then it toned down and was blonde. No red. Red fades that quickest. Not sure if it will work for you, but you could try it. The worst that will happen is that you will ahve to get a haircut, right?

Another suggestion, if you don`t have the cash to go to a good salon to have it fixed is go to a beauty college, or if you live in or near a large metropolitan area (i.e. Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, New York) high end salons, like Vidal Sassoon, sometimes have apprentice night (once a week, a month, whatever), where new beatuicians just out of beauty school cut their teeth, so to speak, do work supervised by experts. The services on these nights are typically much lower than regular prices. I`ve heard of this practice, any haircutters out there can verify this?

Good luck
