I had my hair done today and my hairdresser put way too much red in it and it's so bright! I know red fades quickly, but i really would like to make it a bit more subtle by tomorrow when i go to work!! Any suggestions of home-remedies that i could try out tonight please?? Thanks so much! P.S. I've tried the anti-dandruff shampoo method but it didn't really do much to tone it down.

DON'T strip your hair by yourself!!! try hot water first. use a volumizing or clarifying shampoo. you can also try to crush a tablet of vitamin c into shampoo and leave it on for about 5 min. when you color your hair with permanent color, it chemically changes the color of you natural hair. were you to try and strip the red out yourself, you could end up with a funny-looking spotted orange color

They have hair dye removal/fading things that you can buy at a drugstore or grocery store. It would be in the same section as the normal hair dyes are. I have used them before and they work wonderfully but they are kinda hard on your hair. Also, though they say "hair dye removal" they really only fade it it doesnt remove it compeltely. If you are only looking to fade it slightly than they have shampoos that are specialized to do just that. These are also sold at any drugstore and probably more selection at a beauty store or hair salon. Good luck!

You dont really want to fade it too much as it will probably go a burnt orange colour or an even worse red. If you can, use a bit of washing up liquid in your shampoo and then go and buy a FLAT brown from somewhere. This means you want something with no tone in it to try and cover as much red as possible.You will probably still have some red shining through but it will look more of a nice deep red. Try not to put a lighter shade over it as this will do nothing, you need to get a darker one. You wont have to worry about your hair going green or anything as the red would have already prepigged it. Hope this helps x

Keep washing! Red dyes fade fast and that is because hair is pourous and the chemicals in red dye have a hard time staying onto the hair.

Use an anti-dandruff or a cleansing shampoo, it'll make it fade quicker. Also, red dye doesn't stay in that long cause of the size of the molecules and all that, so it shouldn't take long for it to fade.

A strong clarifying shampoo, wash it several times and leave it on each time, then leave a treatment conditioner on too. If you don't have any clarifying shampoo try washing-up liquid a couple of times - it sounds strange but the detergents are what you need to help fade to colour, again, put a treatment on afterwards if possible.
Hopefully that should help take the edge off the glaring red, good luck.

Word of advice from a 90's grunge hair dyer (I have had every color of hair and combination of colors from Hot Topics). If you try to fade red to fast it will give your hair and orange tint. Your lucky that red is the fastest hair color to fade, so if you wash your hair everyday for a about a week it should be toned down.

Dont worry... A couple months ago I had my hair dyed and it was so red that every time I caught my reflection I thought I was bleeding from my scalp. But in a few days it toned down and I ended up dying it that color for 3 months!
It should be a bit more subtle by tomorrow... But I've heard that lemon juice has lightening qualities... But for red hair... that might be a bad thing!
Try super-hot water... or hot extra virgin olive oil.
It should fade after rinsing a few times in hot water. Hope that helps, good luck!

Wash your hair in hot water asap. Red hair fades quickly on its own and washing makes it fade even faster. Good luck.

What worked best for me was I used a shampoo that strips your hair of oils and such, it fades the color.
Its like a detox for the hair.
Or you can just wash it a lot. With regular shampoo.
