Hi, okay so about 2 weeks ago, I wanted to dye my hair a medium blonde color. I had medium brown, with highlights when I started. I used a loreal hair dye kit, and my hair turned a carrot orange/red.. so I went back and got a different kit, that said it would dye ANY hair color blonde, even black. So I figured that would have to work right? Wrong, my hair turned so yellow like rainbow bright... a troll doll, it was awful. So I went back and got a black dye kit to cover this mess up, and say forget it. Now it has been 2 weeks, and the black is starting to lighten barely to a VERY dark brown. I am starting to get lighter brown type streaks through my hair... the streaks don't look bad, it actually looks like a lighter brown highlights. My question is how long should I wait to fix my hair? My scalp was/is fryed. It is actually peeling, like dandruff from all the dying I guess. My natural color is a dark medium brown, is there anyway to get the black to lighten to my natural color? I don't want to lighten it really light, just to my natural, some sort of shampoo or wash or rinse? Thanks for the help in advance. Tara
