    Brown hair dye has turned my hair black :o(
    My hairdresser had dyed my hair several months back a warm reddish brown and meshed pink streaks in at the same time. I was getting tired of having to weekly redo the pik streaks so bought wella xxl in bitter sweet chocolate (permenant) I left it on 20mins (10mins less than it said) but my hair is black

    I am not pale skinned but I might as well be now

    I don't want to go and get it bleached and I suppose I should leave it for a night or two to see if I get used to it... but I'm pretty freaked out

    I live in the UK so don't have access to prell shampoo which is all I can read about online atm... and I don't want to do home colour removing kits.. Am I best to use head and shoulders and keep washing it.

    Will using an overnight conditioner make it stay in longer?

    1. It will fade as all haircoloring does. Head and Shoulders will help.

    2. You can fade it faster using ColorFix or Color Oops or Igora Phantom. You may, however, have to re-dye since these remove the artificial color.

    Although this is kind of drying, you can speed up fading time by washing/scrubbing with dry laundry detergent. Then use a strong hair conditioning treatment. But from my experience. My hair was dyed super dark brown basically black and I lightened it to a light brown by using light ash brown and a 30 volume developer. And I love my hair! So try this.
