I don't know if I should buy more dye and maybe try darker?(I'm afraid if I try lighter it might get more red!) or is there any way I can remove it? ( I don't think I can since it said permanent) Help! I have a party of friday and everyone will notice! Should I dye it again? Can anything get the red out? Or can I remove the color altogether? Just did it last night so its been 24 hours so far  | When it comes to dying our hair is like we become guinea pigs. You have to either be real careful or just be ready for whatever results can occur. I actually believe that you should try another name brand. I believe that your problem goes further than an error with a color. It must have to do with your pigment, and the reaction that dye caused on it. Try dying it the darkest brown possible. Maybe Try Clairol instead, it all depends. Your hair will look almost black, but it is not. Then gradually you will have to lighten it. I was told any color that have orange in it triggers people who have a red pigment. My pigment is red, so it is hard for me to get a nice light brown or blond color in my hair. Everything eventually looks either a reddish brown or a reddish blond. The dye doesn't have to be by Loreal, there are other good dyes out there. Go to Sally's and find a nice dye without any red pigment in it. It is up to you what your decision may be. I don't like using harsh chemicals on my hair. I've been there and done that, and I actually after many mistakes learned my lesson. Lol! The whole stripping your hair color ordeal sounds brutal to me. It is an option, but still your decision. Good luck! |
