Advice needed on hair colouring (merged)

I would dye your normal colour over it, as long as your not planning on dying it again too soon, usually cheaper that the removal kit.
But then again I'm a hair dye junkie!

it depends if your natural colour is lighter or darker than the colour are now?
Reds are known to fade, but if you are naturally blonde it will be hard to remove the red to return to blonde.

how about checking out your local hairdressing college, they are alway looking for colour correction and cheap.

I decided to re-dye my hair red. Just need to stop it fading so quickly. Have bought shampoo & conditioner for red hair, but still fades.

Red fades sooo quickly! When I had red hair I found out that using wash-out toners (like the wee silver bottles in Superdrug) were a good way of reviving the colour in between dyes.

To make a colour wash out quickly, detox shampoos left on for a bit can help remove unwanted tones to some extent. Give it a good intensive condition after to prevent it drying out.

If it's blonde and too brassy, then purple rinses can help tone it down- Lush's Daddy-O shampoo is good for doing this.

Hi, I need some advice please!

I've got long dark brown/black hair and fancied a few subtle lowlights to give me a nice 'summer' look.

I went for a partial foil colour today at the hairdressers today and I'm mortified with the result! My hair is an brassy orange/blond on top and looks black underneath where it's still my natural colour!

I told the hairdresser that I was worried about having dark roots and she said that she would 'blend' the colour so this wouldn't be a problem. Well even though it was done today I've already got pronounced dark roots that are about 1/2 cm long and look awful.:eek:

I'm ashamed to say that I did the whole "Its lovely!" thing before scarpering from the salon, I think I was hoping it might look better in another light but that was very wishful thinking.

Can anyone please give me any advice on how can tone down this brassy mop? Is there any kind of wash-in colour I can buy in a chemist? I would like to use something gentle ideally because the blond ends are already dry and straw-like.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Is it the brassy bits you want rid of and want them blonde? Try Touch Of Silver shampoo ( its about £7 in the chemist but Iv seen it in a few poundshops before) Its purple and you leave it on for a few minutes and it takes away some of the gingerness after a few washes, Good for grey hair that goes off colour and bleached hair gone wrong too

Otherwise you can dye the whole lot a darker colour and that will cover it
