Answer 1

The best fix to a bad dye job that I've ever found is to apply a deep conditioning hair masque to your head and leave it on for 1/2 hour. Then wash and recondition your hair again. It advances the natural color loss that you get in the first week so that it tones things down and they're not so bold. This will also take care of the dryness that you've described.

The other thing you can do is get a color toner to perk up the color and make it not so dull.

Answer 2

Dye always looks the strongest the first week. After that it begins to fade. If you're using a shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair, stop and start using a normal one. That will help to strip the color gradually.

I'd make an appointment with a hairdresser, if you can, as soon as possible. If you don't want them to color it, they will at least be able to use a toner and get rid of the color for you.

Good luck!

Answer 3

listen whatever you do donot i repeat donot try to remove the color yourself, it will not be good trust me and will do a lot of damage to your hair. Your options are as follows you can go back to the store buy the exact color you put on in a temporary color apply it this will not only not damage your hair but give it some better shine. the reason it's so dull is because you were dying it for so long. Think of it as applying a topcoat like on your fimgernails but for your hair. If you want to be back light you could try baking soda and dishsoap use it mixed like a shampoo lather up for about 10min then rinse. Hope it works out for you good luck.

Answer 4

I had the same problem. Accidently died my natural red hr dark black. Looked like a walking corpse w/ my light skin tone. I found out thru trial and error that if you will wash your hair in green palmolive dish washing liquid it strips the color out. It took me 10 washings but it did get much lighter after each shampoo. Good luck, hope that works. Oh yea condition real well afterwards as not to dry your hair out.

Answer 5

It probably doesn't look as bad as you think - you just aren't used to the dark color yet. You can go to the salon and have them try to correct the color and/or give you a deep conditioning treatment. If that is not an option, you should get a good deep conditioning treatment which will help with the dryness of your hair. Also, get a good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, which will also help with the look of your hair.

Answer 6

Ok relax
wash it alot and add a small spoon of baknig soda to the shampoo
go out and get a good conditioner and detangler
keep washing for about 2 weeks
do not use any more colour on your hair...go natural..maybe a few highlights JUST IN THE FRONT around the face
if you need colour you just need afew highlights not the whole head OK

Answer 7

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX IT YOURSELF you will only damage it further. My suggestion is to go to a salon and have them put a couple of foils in your hair around the crown and feathering your face. Do a caramel blond and a reddish brown. The foils should only cost you about 3 dollars each......I would suggest about 5 of each..........it will look super. It will save most of your hair from further damage......just make sure that you go to a good colorist and watch her....make sure she takes small sectionsof hair and with the sharp end of her comb weaves the hair back and forth to get a natural highlight effect and not clumps of blond and red.........good luck

Answer 8

Ok, first of all, relax. light hair is more porous than dark hair, which means your highlights took in more color than the rest of your head...

I dont know what you used to dye it, but heres what you can do. Get Biolage by Matrix Ultra-Hydrating Balm, and use it as a conditioner. After washing your hair, use this as a deep conditioning treatment. Afterwards, use Biolage by Matrix detangling solution as a "conditioner" (use only a little)

Your hair, unless severely damaged should be better in no time.

DONT over stress your hair by continuing to wash it. if its still too dark by tomorrow, go to the beauty supply store, and tell them you want to lighten it SLIGHTLY. You'll probably need a 10 volume developer, which only contains 10% peroxide, as opposed to the normal drugstore boxes of garbage that contain A LOT more to work on a vareity of hair types/colors.

Hope that helps, goodluck!

Answer 9

apply a color breaker (cant remember the name but there are several) Its a bleach like dye that comes with a special brush to apply it in streaks it will break up the solid "wig" looking color created by the dark brown (Ive been there) you wont look so pale try something in auburn or reddish it will bring some brightness to your face.

Answer 10

maybe wear it in a ponytail until its better to dye it again - and go to a salon next time. In the mean time.. I guess try getting a really good conditioner. It'll make your hair look softer and more natural.
