so i did my friend's hair, and she was originally a redhead. i added blonde highlights, and they came out really good, but she just doesn't like them. we want to dye her hair back to her natural color. but my colorist told me that if you dye red over blonde, it will turn hot pink.... so how do we fix it?
by the way, her 'rents told us she couldn't dye her hair in the first place =/ soooo yeah i need to do this soon, haha.
thanks betch.

everyone that is telling her to strip her hair is wrong. The way color works is that it deposits color into the hair shaft. If you go LIGHTER, then you are taking the color out of the hair shaft, so by making your friend lighter, you took the color out. So stripping is not needed, because there is no color to remove. You could do as suggested and foil out the blonde pieces and try to put them close to the red. It may not go pink if you use a shade that has a slightly brunnette base. If anything, she should go to a professional, but I understand she cant. Try foiling it out, it may work, and if anything make it closer to the right shade. Shouldnt go pink though. Keep me informed on how it turns out!!

Yes, do everything that the person above me said.
I know of a color that might work. I use to lighten all my hair to blonde and then finally got tired of it and went red. It did not turn hot pink or pink. I believe the brand was color Charm or clairol.You have to get it at a beauty supply,like Sally's. The color was called Audacious red,base colors red,orange. The other color I used was called titian red ,base colors red,gold. The color may not be exactly like her natural color,but it will probably just blend in. Both these colors look very similar,the audacious color is a little brighter. Be sure to do a strand test on one of the high lighted pieces. Don't get the color on her natural hair either. Good luck beotch. J/K

Find her color in hair dye... then pick out all of the blonde strands and dye them red.. cover with foil if possible... Pain in the Butt... but if she really has to cover it in a short amount of time then thats the way. Other wise she will spend a fortune at a salon.

You can get a product by the hair dyes that is able to strip the hair of the coloring. I've never tried it, but I've been told it works.

A co-worker has appropriate shade hair, and that i asked her if she dyed it. She stated definite!, and the good information is she does it herself at homestead. She gave me an empty container of this coloring product she offered at Sally's splendor aspects. it is referred to as "eco-friendly mild" made in Italy, one hundred ml length. It says this on the container: Trattamento Colorante in Crema Bivalente con protettivo naturale Double action Colouring Cream With organic shielding brokers Diluizione a million+2

Maybe she should try a demi-permanent color like Clairol Color Charms in a shade as close as possible to her natural color. It won't change her original color but it might blend the highlights.

it will not go back to the exact original color unless she goes to a salon and has it stripped, which costs a lot of $$$$.
