Apparently when I re-colored my hair this time around, I didn't really saturate the crown area non-virgin hair after the retouch process. My hair is medium brown with gold undertones. The crown area (about 3-4" in length) looks a bit lighter and a bit "faded" but the rest of the hair turned out beautifully, as usual. I use Clairol professional color and have very gray, color resistant hair. In the past I've had the 'oops' of having darker areas by not just staying in the outgrowth sections when recoloring, but never had this 'lighter' look just in the crown area. It's not hideous but I'd like to know if I can re-color that area and leave the dye on maybe just 5-7 minutes. Or perhaps combine shampoo, developer and dye and comb through dry, let sit maybe 5-7 minutes, and then shampoo. I'd appreciate suggestions. Thanks much!
