I have dyed my hair dark brown its turned out too dark how can i lighten it ?

Answer 1

dandruff shampoos are not good on dyed hair as they strip the colour, try the leading brand, i do this all the time. one application first to see the effect then re do if needed, don't go too mad though as it will fade with each wash anyway, good luck chuck!

Answer 2

Hi I am a hairdresser and as i've read here vosene shampoo is one of the one best for stripping colour ,any more chemicals put on to remove it can be a bit harsh and hair dye cannot lighten hair that has been dyed

Answer 3

Been in your situation many times. Find a local supplier of hair salon products (chemist won't do) and buy a colour remover for lightening/removal of oxidation tints. If you don't have anywhere near you, go online to likes of Sally Beauty or Salon Services. Even seen some on Ebay. For about £9 you'll have a product that is guaranteed to remove some if not all of the tint, instead of having to wash and wash to fade it. Many brands to choose from but my last two were by Goldwell.

Answer 4

I have done that before, and some daft hairdresser suggested repeatedly washing it with washing up liquid! I'm afraid you will have to bear with it until it washes out gradually. Even if it is permanent it will begin to lighten each time you wash it. If you are really in despair ask a hairdresser to put a few lighter brown highlites/lowlites at the front of your hair or have a few sunbed sessions to blend it with your new colour.

Answer 5

You could get highlights, It wouldn't lighten the overall colour but would give you light streaks throughout which woudl lighten the effect of the hair. They don't have to be bleach blonde in colour either, you could use a lighter brown colour to do them.

Answer 6

Dont worrie i did the same thing, it was ment to be dark brown but went balcke insted all i can suggest is let it lighten itself and also sunlight lightens hair.

Answer 7

i imagine think ofyou've got to both dye it or purely enable it strengthen out. I truly have heard different such issues as making use of lemon juice can lighten your hair, yet no idea no matter if it really is genuine. relying on the dye used it would want to fade a touch, yet likely no longer through very a lot. making use of anti-dandruff shampoo might want to haven't any result.

Answer 8

use washing up liquid ... this will strip some of the colour from your hair ... dont worry too much when u dye your hair it always comes out slightly darker and will lighten with each wash .... if u do use washing up liquid make sure u use a good conditioner after ....

Answer 9

If you used a permanent dye you'll have to go to your hairdresser. A semi-permanent dye will wash out, so if that's the one you used try washing your hair with a little bit of washing up liquid. Use a good conditioner afterwards.
I wouldn't use bleach tho as it wont do your hair any good.
Good Luck

Color usually starts to fade immediately with shampooing. If your hair was fairly light before you colored it even more so. If you need this fixed quickly find a salon. Walk-in salons, it's important to know that all stylist are trained to color hair but not all like to do color, the receptionist usually knows who's who but it 's always best to ask for one that likes to do color they are more experienced. Tell them what you did to your hair as well. They'll give you options. If you can't afford a salon go to a beauty supply store most employ clerks that are stylists themselves or have knowledge of the products and procedures, tell them what you did and they could probably hook you up with what you need to fix it yourself.
