Yes that'll be perfectly safe because you're going darker - you'd be having problems if you wanted to go blonde!! Don't worry - it won't fall out or anything. Just leave it a while after dying it tomorrow. Good luck with that x

1. Call the # on the insert and they'll gladly walk you through steps to "fixing" your hair. On the plus, they usually offer up some kind of compensation or or coupon for a future purchase if you explain that it all went terribly wrong but you're still polite. Flies to honey and what have you.
2. Browns are notorious for not being dark enough - either at first, or once you've washed for a week. Trying just one shade darker than you think you're going for really isn't a tremendously bad idea.
3. Really check it out if you're more ashy, more reddish, or what. The guidelines on the "Natural Match" hair color box have easy to understand/figure out instructions on doing that. Those little hi-lights you naturally swing toward from being in the sun and whatnot really play an important role in which way you should go with. Kinda like having that friend that just doesn't get she's not a blond... it's gotta work with you, you know?

That happened to me when i had black hair and tryed to dye it back to brown, i still have light roots and the rest dark but its not as bad. Anyways it should be okay, but with my own experience it didnt cover it all up, it just changed the shades of brown to a more reddish brown. Maybe youll just have to wait and maybe use some less expensive shampoos so the colour will fade, then try again.

If you do this make sure you put the dark brown over the lighest part ie your roots ONLY.If you put it all over you will end up again the same way lighter roots and darker ends.
This happened because each time you put a colour in it's going on top of another one.So the ends could have 15 layers of colour while your roots will have just one application.
Hope this helps.

Don't panic it happens to everyone!, well these are a few things you and you'r hair need : dark dye, curlers (to make it look jazzy), and a special hair conditioner, it's called heart is hair, and light dye. Here's what you do put the dark dye in the part's with light hair, wait a hour or so, and then put the hair conditioner (in the shower or bath) and curler's are one of the most inportant hair items, so put the curlers in three most inportant parts : the ends, the front, and the back. And then go to get you hair cut and then your done, it's not so bad!

Yes it will be fine, have had the same thing happen to me, if you still have it in your mine to achieve the color that you originally started to achieve you can still do that even, on the information page for the hair color there is a 800 number you can call and get ahold of a hair specialist at that company that made the product and they can guide you on what color and number to select at the store.Be sure and condition your hair well after each shampoo you will be fine.

It should be safe to dye again, just be sure to put it only on the roots! Otherwise, you'll be in the same fix as now. lighter roots and darker ends. The ends are more porous that the roots and suck up the color faster.

It happened to my mum once. She turned out with a red between Carrot and Fire Brigade. She was going for a slight red. I thought it great, my Dad laughed, mum got even more ar*sed.
She managed to modify it with a very light colour. She remarked that it was always easier to go with darker. So, with others, I think you will be okay.
Good luck!

It's fine that you're going darker. L'Oreal preference is a fairly safe product to use as long as you follow the instruction.
