How to make dark hair dye fade faster

So I have gotten my hair to fade a lot, but I was wondering, if I can get it light enough, will I be able to dye it blonde? And if so, exactly how light does it need to be?

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 didn't 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 wasn't dark enough. After all that suffering I've 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 don't have dawn, purell, and I can't get out to buy head and shoulders...
I was wondering, would regular dishwashing soap work? My hair is really fragile right now, but I can't stand the color! If I leave deep conditioner on for a couple hours would that help too? Thanks in advance

In order to go from brunette to blonde, you will need to pre-lighten your hair with bleach to a yellow stage and then apply a toner to achieve the desired color.

Excessive coloring can damage your hair. I advise not to use anymore at home box color on your hair for now. Yes, dish detergent can slightly fade hair color. If your hair is fragile or dry, apply a conditioner after you shampoo. You can also do a deep conditioning treatment once a week to restore moisture in the hair.

I Just dyed my hair "reddish brown" but the top turned out RED/orange (just imagine CarrotTop or Bobo the clown ) and the bottom is the reddish brown color... My natural color is a medium brown. I haven't dyed my hair in over a year, but this has never happened to me before... What can I do to fade it?

Just had a hair care disaster. I DO NOT know what my stylist was thinking - I had dark brown very porous curly hair with slight highlights that were getting brassy orange-ish. I told him I wanted to go slightly darker for the season and he asked, "one step?" and I said, sure. This was totally stupid of me and I was frankly, not thinking - preoccupied with a personal situation. I should have known better than to do anything with my hair when I've been going through tough times

In any case. He dumped a bunch of dark brown on my head and now I have black hair. You know, aside from the slight highlights, my hair was totally virgin. That is the worst part. I could just die thinking about it. I don't know why he didn't even say, "Are you sure you want all over color?"

I could have also easily gone with a semi permanent. My hair is so porous, it would have clamped on to it very easily

In any case, I did the prell thing, but I did not know to leave it on for 15 min. Going to try that again - with Dawn, if I am not too afraid. My hair is pretty dry as it is. I am wondering if I should just live with this until Spring. You know, eventually it is going to snow and it will be hat time.

I don't know if I can hack that though. I simply feel miserable.

I am also afraid to go back to my stylist because I simply don't trust him anymore. I can't really see him taking the time to carefully fix this situation. Ugh.

I have had the same problem. I usually dye my hair med. Brown. I dyed my hair light ash brown and it came out dark brown. I had to strip the color by using Color Oops. I bought it at Walgreens. Walmart does not carry it. Color Oops does not have amonia or peroxide. You can also order it online. It turns your hair into a blond color and then you need to put another dye on. All hair dyes are not alike even using the same color. I found that out the hard way. I wound up coloring my hair four times in one week. I was lucky my hair did not fall out.

If you don't like the color, don't be afraid to go back to the salon and have to them fix your hair. Most salons don't want a bad reputation, so they will fix their clients hair free of charge. If you don't want the same hairstylist to do your hair, the manage will appoint another hairstylist to you. They will mix a formula to achieve your desired color.

I am a new user here and really appreciate all of the questions and helpful advice. Even so, unless I missed it, the question I have has not been asked. I am in my mid fifties and have been dying my hair for about ten years. It was originally a medium-dark brown. Over the past couple of years I have been using Bigen hair color, which I like a lot. It is not peroxide based, so it deposits only and is a very deep dark brown.

However, I have decided after much thought to just let my hair go gray. I don't know how best to do this without looking like a banshee for months on end. I have not dyed it in three weeks and can see that I have about a half an inch of growth. I know I can cover the roots where my part is for a while with those color sticks, but that won't last for long. I really want to be done with all of this (and hopefully look like Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada!). My hair is not long, and I actually look good with short hair, so could cut it shorter if I need to. I know it is going to be a difficult process as my hair is very dark and I now have only gray coming in, but I can't be the first woman who has gone through this process, so...HELP!

Any thoughts, advice, experience would be most welcome.
