Answer 2

Ok, this could be from a number of things. First, your shampoo may have a high ph level. A lot of shampoos out there could be used as stripping shampoos in a salon. Second, the base color of your tint should be blue. Blue is the opposite of orange/brassy. The blue base will naturalize the orange. You can also by Blue tint additive.
If the color looks good when you finish, then it has to be something you are doing after the tint. You may be lacking in nutrition causing your hair to be very porous. If you are not taking a molty vitamin, you mite want to try that as well.

Answer 3

I am a colorist and I am here to help.
Whatever color you used apparently had a red or orange base. What that means is........ color is made by having a base color and then a true color. The base or background color promotes depth and the over all tonal color. When we see color that has gone wrong it is usually because someone paid no attention to the base color. What you are going to want to do is, 1 go to a salon and have them tone it they should know what they are doing, 2 if your doing it yourself, you want to find a color with the word ASH in it. Ash is a green base now don't get scared we use green to make red go away. You have to be careful though and I always recommend having a professional do it. But if you are going to do it alone, stick to the same color level ( it should say something to the color level on the box (shudder) that you used originally). Use a color that matches what you have but get it in an ash. E.g. if you used a medium golden blonde then you want to apply a medium ash blonde to rid yourself of the orange tones. Good luck and again my first advise is for you to go to a salon with a colorist on staff and get it done perfect the first time save time money and you freaking out.

Answer 4

When you have dark brown hair your own undertyones of your hair are red.Whenever you color your hair you should use an ash base. The ash cancels the red. If you are trying to color it back dark after you have lightened it then you should use a filler which will help your hair take full pigment of the color you want to achieve. A filler is just a color in between what you have now and the color you would like,so after you use the filler then you can again put the color you want on the hair and this should work out just fine.
