I dyed my hair copper and it faded orange. I have a wedding to go to tomorrow and promised my dad I'd dye it a "natural" color. I decided to try medium brown since my hair always stays blonde when I dye it. Major problem. My hair is almost black!! It looks terrible. Lighter brown hair looks best on me. How can I lighten my hair tonight/ tomorrow morning?? Please help!!

Please read carefully.I know for a fact that lemon juice and sun-in are great for untreated hair but when I saw that people were telling you to use them now after you have dyed your hair i visited the Sun-in website and found this in the Q & A page----- Q: My hair is color treated. Can I still use Sun-In on my roots?
We do not suggest using Sun-In on hair that has been color-treated. Here is the web address http://www.chattem.com/qna/sun.asp If you can afford it go to the salon..call around and ask for someone who specializes in "corrective color". Call your freinds and ask them where they get there hair done to same some time. If you can't go to the salon call one of your freinds hairstylists and let them know about the jam your in and hopefully they will be nice enough to give you good advice. After doing that, if no one really gave you any "good" advice I would (if I were in this situation) buy a lighter color dye and cross my fingers----Walmart, Walgreens, and CVS have locations that are open 24 hours so you can fix this before tomorrow morning. Just go online and use the store locators and check for store hours. I hope this helped-this is exactly what I would have said to my best friend. Good Luck!

You have several choices. You can go get some med/dark blonde hair dye and try your luck, or you can lighten it with lots of lemon juice. DO NOT use bleach on it. Wash your hair several times with some of that shampoo for blondes, then dye it with a med/dark blonde color is probably your best bet in a pinch like this.

mix a half and half solution of lemon juice and water put it in a spray bottle and spritz it on your hair. Be sure to saturate it well. Then sit in the sun until it is completely dry. repeat if you need to. be sure to wear sunscreen so you don't show up to the wedding looking like a lobster. If you can't get sun, judging by the hour you can't before the wedding, you can buy a product at wal-mart that will let you do the same sort of thing only with a blow dryer. good luck!

Your hair absorbed to much color. It might be dry. Don't apply more product because only your roots will get lighter. My suggestion is put a good conditioner in your hair, leave it in, get some sun-in and spray your head good, then blow dry it (the heat activates it). It will lighten it up a little.

This wouldn't be a quick fix, but go out in the sunshine a lot (: it will definitely help lighten hair over time!

This needs serious help. If your hair color is orange at the moment, I would go to a reputable salon.

You get SUN IN. Its a product that naturally lightens your hair in the sun, or under the hair drier. Really cool, and it works....

Shampoo it numerous times with a clarifying shampoo.
