Hi Guys, I need some advice...I colored my hair what was supposed to be a light blonde from a medium brown (I used to have my hair this blonde and never had a problem) and it went really brassy, almost orange. I've waited a week and hoped the brassiness would fade, but no luck. I have in-laws coming in two days and really want to fix this, but don't want to dry my hair out too bad, can you suggest what to do? I saw on one website to use toner from the beauty store, but I'm not sure how to do it and if theres something better! Can anybody help??? Thanks...  |

Generally toners are made for bleached hair and when dealing with orange toners really don't have enough pigment to fix that sort of problem. You can try this, get a demi in a medium blonde ash, strand test. You won't have light blonde hair, but I think you'll be able to get a nice medium blonde. Single process color, unless it's a highlift, won't get you much lighter, without much brassiness, than two levels. For the future only select dyes that are no more than three levels of your natural color and get a 30 vol. peroxide. You'd probably want to stick with a dark blonde unless you are willing to bleach to pale yellow and that will get you to a light blonde. Hope this helps! Rebekah |

At Sally Beauty Supply there are two products Clairol Complements and L'Oreal Color Gems. These are demi permanent, which means that they are forumlated with a lower peroxide and ammonia content, and this makes them less damaging. Hope this helps. Rebekah |
