I went to my long time hair stylist to get a dye job from my medium brown with highlights, she suggested a dark red brown. It came out to be very dark, almost black looking with lots of cherry, bright burgandy tint really bad on the top of my head. I don't mind the dark part it is the horrible color that grabbed at the top, the back looks normal. I have medium short hair all over so it is extremely noticeable, especially when I go out in the light it is ten times brighter. Any suggestions to tone down the brightness? She suggest I come in and have blonde highlights and some brown lowlights weaved in, sounds like a mess to me.

Yea- it might be a mess. I think dye your hair a nice brown.
To kind of wash out the black/cherry color.

But also washing your hair takes off hair dye. So maybe after you wash it it will start to lok better?

I am considering coloring over it with a brown, wasn't sure if it would tone it down or not. I have washed it many times with dish detergent and clarifying shampoo, it has taken some of the color out but not enough to make a difference yet. Thanks for your help!

No problem. Your tryign to say your hair is just in eve ncolor Like someparts took more then others?

:) I hope your hair looks good in no time!

Yeah the back of it didn't seem to take as much of the burgandy as the top did, I assume it's because I had the blonde highlights on top.

Yea it could be.
Do you have a picture of what your hair looks likes?

Nope, no picture but if you have seen Sharon Osbornes hair that is pretty close to the color that it is.

Oh the redish? That's a pretty color.

I looked hidious, but all is good now. Went back today and got it fixed free of charge. Thanks for your support!

Haha that's good! ^.^
No problem. :D

hey even if it didn't work out. ITs almost halloween so you could have pulled it off =P
