Answer 1

Well, you may have to take the advice of a good hair dresser first i wouldn't dye it again for awhile i would just leave it alone. You may have some auburn in your hair or in your family and the shades you are using is bringing that out to these shades its turning it too. So before you do anymore to your hair and cause damage please...Hope it works out better...

Babe, This has happened to me so many times. I have dark brown hair and I wanted a white blonde haircolor. After my first attempt I got a brassy orange color. That is because your hair goes through stages as it changes color. Brown in the darkest and Blonde is the lightest so if you don't get a good quality hair dye it will leave you with a brassy color, and in return that is the hardest part of your hair to then to redye. Sometimes you need to leave the color application on longer, or you may have to reapply up to 5 times to get the colored desired. To save heartache you should go to a salon to get it done. In the long run the quality of a salon application compared to store will be worth the money. Blondor is the best lightener out there.

Quit dying your hair for awhile. I know it'll be hard not to, but your hair is not able to take color now you have overprocessed it. I used to be a hairdresser, what you have just described is a case of over processing your hair. You need to wait a couple of weeks, than go to a professional and get it fixed. At this point, only a trained eye will be able to fix what has been done. Your natural hair color must pull alot of red/gold. Which means in the future when you pick out hair colors, you need to stay away from any "gold, red, or any warm colors" that would be included in the name of the shade. IE: medium golden brown, medium golden blonde, brown with red highlights, etc... I have a feeling they will mix an ash base with your next color to cut the reds in your hair. DON"T color your hair right now...it won't hold anymore. Good luck!

If you have dark brown hair, you can really only lighten it a shade or so before it turns orange, unless you get it done professionally. It's hard to undo orange once it's gotten to that point. You'll probably need to visit a salon to correct the color now.

Answer 5

You have too much golden/red pigments in your hair. I had this same problem. Try using a medium ash blonde/brown, to overcome this orange you must use an ash. I use a two tone colour, so I have the option of adding highlights to a base colour, this way it wont be so harsh on your hair as well. Good luck!!

First, you should have your stripped of all of this unnatural color by a professional. Next, you should always have your hair colored by a professional to prevent weird outcomes. Your hair may be orange or have an orangish tint if you are washing it in hard water, it is a buildup of iron. A salon professional can also retract the iron from your hair.

Answer 7

red is the hardest color to pull from hair. if your hair orange than it means that you only have red and yellow pigment left in your hair strand. if you are trying to go darker, what you have to do is make a filler to neutralize your color. blue based hair color will neutralize orange. you have to mix one part blue based color with 1/2 part conditioner and 1/2 part vol 10 developer (peroxide) saturate hair and rub it in with a towel, do not rince. you hair may be a very ugly dull color after this but dont worry, it is now ready to be colored. apply desired hair color and let it process.

if you have naturally dark hair and want to go blonde, some times you have to bleach your hair more than once. hair will only continue to lighten for as long as the bleach is wet. once it dries then you have to wash it out, dry and rebleach. if bleaching close to the scalp then you need to use a oil based bleach to keep it from burning the scalp. DO NOT APPLY HEAT!, this will cause the bleach to oxidize rapidly and result in burning the hair-IT WILL FALL OUT! Remember that this can be stressfull on the hair so it is best to use a deep conditioner and sit under a hair dryer for 20 min after rinsing bleach from hair.

Answer 8

You really should get it done professionally, but try this: first use a good high lift colour with high volume developer and then use some BLUE or GREY (ie ash blonde) to get the orange out. Hope this helps, good luck!

Answer 9

Go to a professional. It is now called a hair color correction. You have changed the chemistry of your hair and the stylist now has to figure out what is wrong with your hair. Only by going into a professional will you get your hair right.

Answer 10

i have a question......When you dyed your hair blonde, did you happen to have a red color on your hair already?......because when you dye red hair to make it blonde or vice versa, you can either end up with orange or pink hair.........and i can just take a wild guess that when you tried to dye it brown, it had a red base in it.........you can either go to a PRO, or you can dye it ash brown.....but dont start crying if your hair turns Muddy.......
