my hair is naturally very dark so I went to get it lightened
My hairdresser used a warm light golden brown all over and did highlights in the front and sides. Except NOW it looks like my top is jellowish redish and the rest is too light.
I bought a darker brown color yesterday and I am tempted to use it for a few minutes to change the 2 tones and darken them a little
WILL THIS WORK? or will it kill the highlights and it will all be one color? ANY advise how long I should keep it in? put in on dry or wet hair? PLEASE help.........

I would not leave it on for the full time, maybe half. You will also need to do some major conditioning. Color deposits (when you go darker) does not alter your hair's condition, but when you have highlights it strips the oils out of your hair and can really mess it up for a while. What was the condition of your hair to begin with... dry, normal, oily? Was your hair permed or over-processed with chemicals? All of this should be taken in to consideration.
You should also consider seriously going back to the original salon. They can, and should for free, apply a glaze that will be semi-perm. color to help tone it down for a while. This would take a short amount of time and give you better results. They would also know what they used to begin with.
Never wear a hat because you are ashamed of your hair-make the people who didn't do it to your satisfaction fix it!

How about wearing a hat for a few days - I'm serious, then try to recolour, as if you do it now your hair may be fried. Meanwhile, use hot oil and intense conditiner to prepare it for another assalt.
