It will grow out quickly in the summer and also the sun will lighten the applied colour.

@ the bottom of the page there is hair dye remover use as instructed but keep an eye on it as it can strip your natural colour & leave you with really light blonde hair when you see the colour you want your hair to be follow the instructions for washing off as sometimes you have to wet with warm water 1st before washing.
I have used this product before.
Your lucky though I dyed my hair & it had reacted with a colour I had on b4 & I ended with a dart board head!! I had black circles of black dye lol

Answer 3

dont do anything for a few weeks , it may lift on its own , with the last colour being lighter on the ends . Also sit in the sun as much as you can . if you really hate it and it hasnt faded then go to a hairdresser and get it lifted . you could also go swimming , chlorine takes colour out of hair

Answer 4

As a stylist of many years, my advice is to have a QUALIFIED stylist remove the color and use a treatment to keep the hair from breaking. It caan be done but needs to be done by a professional who knows what they are doing.

Answer 5

You may have to have it bleached out if it turned black. This happened to me once, and it was the only solution. I tried using even a very light blonde color to get the black out, but it didn't work. To be safe, you'd better consult a hairstylist.

Answer 6

go to a hairdressers they can strip the colour out and put in another chosen colour. don't do it your self the wrong colour could bring out more red or green in your hair.and yo could end up with orange or a grey looking colour

Answer 7

You have 2 choices
1 cut it all off
2 Wait till it grows back again, a year later it will mostly be normal

Answer 8

I'd leave well alone if I were you. Just let it grow out and condition it alot in the meantime. Too much dye overlapping will just turn it to chips.

Answer 9

I would most definitely have a professional do it. they can strip the color off and then put a color on similar to your natural color until yours grows back.......

Answer 10

i think you can buy colour stripper for permanent dyes, failing that bleach it , dye it back to your original colour and condition it like mad!
