| I recently dyed my hair dark brown, and instead of being the color on the box, it turned black. I immediatly went out and bought a light brown/red color to try to tint it to make it appear brown. Didn't work! Is there something I can do to lighten it but not cause too much damage to my hair?? |

Might help if you wait a few days and see if it fades. Most dyes do fade a little after the first few days or a week, and you can see what it's like then before deciding if you need to do anything else to it or not. ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |

| Try washing a few times with Prell shampoo, it really lifts color. |

Did you have color on your hair prior to this color? Layering the color molecules will only cause color to go darker. You might try powdered hair bleach mixed with a little shampoo. Suds it up and watch it for about 5 minutes. This works sometime, but not always on store bought color. Good Luck ------------- I am a professional Hairstylist/Haircolorist with 19 years experience.

dish soap (repeated several times) sometimes worked for me when I dyed my hair in the past. It's drying of course, so plan on doing extra conditioning after.  ------------- |

I've heard that any anti-dandruff shampoo helps to strip color. When my hair looks too dark, I use Head & Shoulders to help "tone it down." ------------- [IMG]http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n89/yerdumm/tapdancer2.gif" /> |
