I am at my wits end! I had my hair professionally frosted about two months ago. I like the blonde, with my dark hair roots, but I wanted to add some red low lights with the blonde streaking throughout. However, I did not get the results I wanted. Now I have dark roots, and a multi blonde/red patchwork head. I look like Happy the Clown, minus the Happy part. Does ANYONE know how to get semi permanent hair dye out sooner than later? I do not want to go any shorter so cutting it out is not an option. I have already tried washing it out, but it is not yet making a difference. Hey, I'm an attractive woman in my early 50's. If I was seventeen it might work. However... well you know. Please HELP!

Do not attempt to fix it yourself, it will make matters worse. If you're not satisfied with your hair color results, don't be afraid to go back to the salon and let them correct the color. Most salons will fix their mistakes free of charge.

Red hair color fades faster than any other color. However, you may end up with an orange tint in your hair if you try to fade the color. Some semi-permanent colors can leave a permanent tint on bleach blonde or chemically lightened hair. Salons have professional products that can fix hair problems. The stylist may be able to tone down your highlights and achieve your desired shade.

Thanks for responding so quickly! I did call my stylist and told him I wasn't quite happy with the results. He recommended that I put Clairol semi permanent golden brown color over my entire head. Well, what I thought would have turned out golden brown is basically lots of golden and red color and still my darker brown roots. However, it doesn't look half bad. I am going to see him on Tuesday and he said he'd add some blonde streaks back in if I want to. I've got some time to think about it. And if not, well, I'm just in time for Halloween! Thanks again.

My hair looks the same but its fine
