Im naturally a very fair, light brown colour hair and i died it black about 3 months ago but because my hair is so long i used two hair dyes to cover it. Unfortunately it didnt and the ends of my hair stayed the same light colour.

Now my roots are coming through so i have light roots and light ends of my hair and the rest is black, but with red because of the fading. I wondered if anybody knows how i can speed up this process. Because my hair is so long i dont want to leave it to just grow out it needs to fade.

Im currently using vosene shampoo and it doesnt seem to be working as of yet does anyone have any other ideas? Thanks a lot

Hiya. Sorry to hear about your hair, but the only ways i know of to fade hair is constantly washing it. It is also said that hairspray fades hair. Another way is to wash your hair with shampoo mixed in with some baking soda which apparently works. I wouldn't use it though unless youre 100% sure what colour that it will turn out, in some cases an orangey colour. Good Luck x

I recently died my hair from blonde to a darker/brown blonde. My natural color is a dark brown so my stylist added alot of my natural color into my highlight. Needless to say it looks black, but everyone says its brown. Brown or black I don't like it. I'm not sure I want to go back to my stylist because I'm afraid more bleach will damage my hair. Everyone is talking about using Prell, will that really lighten up my dark strands. Any advice?

Prell will not lighten your dark strands, however, it the fade it slightly. If the Prell doesn't work, use a clarifying shampoo. Carifying shampoos can strip or fade hair color faster.

My hairdresser put dark color in my blonde hair, but it's too dark. How do I lighten it?

PrettyLady

Permanent color can and make the hair a couple of shades lighter. However, it can turn your hair a reddish tone, especially if your hair is dark. If you want to go more than 3 shades lighter, you will need to do a double process (bleaching and toning). You should consider going back to the salon and have the hairstylist do a corrective color close the original color.

hi all, my goal was to have brown hair with light brown highlights.. dyed my hair brown myself, then a week later went to the salon for highlights. their highlights didnt work, and they put wayy too many, so they ended up just putting bleach over them, and i walked out with orange hair
the next day i dyed it brown, which faded back to orange pretty quickly because i guess it wasnt dark enough. after all that suffering ive been deep conditioning my hair; its been a week, and today i dyed my hair natural brown... which turned out jet black!
i tried washing it with shampoo lots, but here we dont have dawn, purell, and i cant get out to buy head and shoulders...
i was wondering, would regular dishwashing soap work? my hair is really fragile right now, but i cant stand the color!! if i leave deep conditioner on for a couple hours would that help too? thanks in advance

ayayay. I just dyed my hair black underneath and it looks way too gothic. I'm trying lots of ways to get it out. I've used washing liquid, which actually worked a tiny bit along with heated up olive oil. The best way, is to wash it often and letting the shampoo settle in. It's a pain, but with time it will fade, and it will grow out. So don't worry folks!
