hi. i just dyed my hair on friday. i bought the hairdye from shoppers and it was L'oreal. i really do not know which colour but on the box it looked like a brown with a purple tint to it. instead my hair ahs turned a dark dark purple, almost black, and in the sun its like a cherry red. i really do not like the colour and i want either to go back to my previous colour, light brown, or either get highlights and streaks. i do not know what products to use or where to buy them, because i have never had this problem. to get the streaks/ hilights about how long would i have to wait until i could get them?...a week or two?..cause i really need my hair to be a normal lighter colour by aug 24th. plz help me.

thanks

A lot of people here recommend colorfix.  I myself have never used it but apparently it helps to remove the color.  Maybe someone with more experience using colorfix will see your post and have helpful advice for you, should you choose to go that route. However, since I am not an advocate of at-home hair dying, my advice would be to go to a salon, to the best colorist you can find, and have them correct it.
