I wanted it a light brownish red. It turned out bright red in some places and dark brown in others. I went back and got it stripped. The problem is the red never came out. Now my roots are starting to grow in and i cant get them to match the rest of my hair. can anyone help?

The stylist tried dying it back to her natural color with a couple of processes with mixed results (very flat brown with still lots of red showing through). Finally, they highlighted it blond all over. The red did show through eventually but she was advised to just keep getting the blond highlights and eventually she will be blond again completely. It actually looks very pretty right now. I guess the lesson here is that unless you plan to keep it, or you have very short hair that you can cut off fast, don`t go red. ------------- "It is better to look marvelous than to feel marvelous" Billy Crystal
