Date Posted: September 19 2002 at 9:08am I just used Herbal Essence Beyond Cherry on my hair and it turned my hair a dark magenta! So a couple days after that I put Natural Instincts Warm Dark Brown on it - well now my hair very dark and the only way to describe the color is plum/burgandy.... I have been washing it like crazy to try to get some of the color out, it has faded by not that much. I am also conditioning it like crazy. I called Clairol and they told me to use Ultress in Medium Golden Brown and mix that up, and add 2 oz of my regular shampoo - put it on my hair and check it every 5 minutes. She said it will make it a brighter intense red and less purply... Before I try it I was just wanting to know if anyone else has had any experience getting purple/burgandy out of your hair? I am trying to get a dark red.... thanks! Replies:
