Please, I need help quicky. Alright, so I know it was a mistake ..but I (perfessionally) went from medium brown, to what was suppose to be my "natural" color, and today tried to go medium brown again. Each time it was done perfessionally, but by a different salon. The two times I've gotten my hair dyed brown it seems as if the root area is lighter.
Today though, when I got it dyed it now seems like my hair is screwed up. It looks as though my hair is medium/light brown in the back (and I love it) and my side bangs are very dark ..and the root area of my hair has a red tent to it. WHAT CAN I DO? I heard using a bit of dawn soap can lighten hair if you leave color on too long but I don't understand why it's only my bangs. Should I go back and have her fix the roots? I really respect her and don't want any trouble so I didn't say anything about it.

 THE BACK.
 SIDE VIEW (YOU CAN SEE THE RED-ISH ROOTS ..AND SORT OF THE BLACK IN THE BANGS IF YOU LOOK CLOSE ENOUGH, BUT I PULLED THEM BACK.)

It really doesn't look bad. Maybe you could let it chill for a few days...oxidization may help. I'm guessing your bang areas were highlighted before? Because they grabbed the brown and soaked it up more than the rest. The roots are red from you scalp's heat accelerating the dye....The red really looks nice IMHO. What are you trying to achieve with your hair color? Do you want it all over medium brown? Why did you have it changed from that and then change your mind so quickly? |

I agree - give it a few days. It will fade and may end up right where you want it.
