Completely messed up hair colour:( How do I get rid of red tones in dark brown hair?
Okay first of all, I cannot go to a hairdresser. I have social anxiety disorder and agoraphobia which prevents me from doing a lot of things in public. Please tell me what I can do at home. My hair is naturally medium ash brown. I dyed it black awhile ago. I waited for it to grow out a bit and then I dyed it a dark auburn brown colour. Now I have roots that are medium ash brown, a middle section that is a reddish auburn brown, and black tips. My hair looks horrible! :( My hair is long - almost down to my waist, so I don't want to cut it out. How can I get my hair all one colour, or at least get rid of the red tones (they look AWFUL)? I want my ash hair back. I'd like to be a medium ash brown again - I wish I had've never touched dye in the first place. :( Most of all I just want to get rid of these red tints. Should I bleach it and dye it again in an ash colour (what's the best brand and how exactly should I do it if so)? Or use a toner (if so what kind)? Does anyone have any ideas? Please help! Thanks!

Hmmm, I would say that I had the same problem a few months ago back. The only product that worked is found at K-mart or Wal*mart or other stores. It is a dark ash blonde or light ash brown. Ash will cover over the red/orange color in the hair, turning it more into a greenish tone. The best way to do this is by waiting a few days after you do any bleaching/dying. The longer your hair goes with out washing the better the dye will take. That's because of the conditioning chems and other added things to make your hair softer. Heat does work to fasten the process so feel free to use a hair dryer while waiting for the dye to work. Red colors are very beautiful colors in hair and sometimes even yellow, such a shame if it's both at the same time it does not look so good. Also, for a creative turn to this answer, you can always do some highlights with all types of colors in your hair while you have a base going on. Hey, look at the bright side of things, better to live and learn than not live at all. Have a great day. =)
