    Hair color correction
    I colored my hair with Framesi Framcolor 2001. The color is called light mahagoney, but my roots turned out bright red. I have over 50% gray in the front of my scalp, yet the product said it has 100% gray coverage. Should I put a brown color over the roots with an ash base?

    Thanks Catherine

    The dye always attacks the lightest of your hair first...

    Those are the best time to get it professionally done. You are supposed to apply the color to length of hair first then the roots...

    And I have never even heard of that haircolor before.

    Sorry to say this but no colour can cover your greys 100% unless it is mixed with your natural base shade (natural hair colour).

    Was it just the front part of the hair that turned out bright red?

    You say you have 50% greys? What you need to do is find the closest possible shade to your natural hair colour, then mix it with your target shade. You need equal amounts of both shades.

    But first I think you better get a colour stripper and strip the colour out.
