Posted By: haller Date Posted: February 05 2010 at 8:49am I've had the same problem, a lot of dyes come out way too dark on me due to porous hair. I once used a light brown that came out black! Don't worry, it will fade a bit. However, you can use a color stripper to get most of the color out, if you don't want to wait. Drug stores sell something called Color Oops and Sally's has a few products to choose from. It'll leave you with kind of an orangy mess of hair, so you have to dye over it. I would suggest using a level 5 with an ash or a neutral base with no warm in it to neutralize the orange. If by some chance you are lucky enough not to get any orange after stripping it, then I'd just try your usual 5NW , but maybe in a demi to avoid damage. You're hair might be kind of fried and frizzy for a while because the color stripper is strong stuff.
