duffer_83

thanks for all the replies everyone. finally managed to ring the hairdresser today (closed on mondays :rolleyes:) and they have said vosene mixed with borax and lots of conditioner afterwards. now i've just got to find borax, both places i've been to so far have said 'we used to sell it but not anymore'!

Try Boots or Wilkinsons.

Try Head & Shoulders. I've read in a few places about how it has a tendency to remove hair dye and I've found it's worked for me in the past. I had the same problem as well, had it dyed brown but it just looked way too dark for my skin colouring. Head & Shoulders help lift it a couple of shades after a couple of washes.

yup my hairdresser saw my H&S in the bathroom once and checked to make sure it wasnt mine as it kills any hair colours - it was hubbys !!

I've just coloured my hair this morning and yet again despite using "Light Golden Blonde" it's gone very dark brown, not black thankfully! It's so annoying as I want to get it gradually lighter.

Something that I've always wondered ... why is it that my hairs condition is always amazingly better after colouring it? I've been struggling with dryness since spending Christmas in Canada buying all kinds of intensive conditioners, today I colour it and it's smooth and silky. Does anyone know why?

If you want to try stripping the colour then the shampoos mentioned here are good. If you alternate washing with olive oil treatments, leave on for 2 hrs then wash out by stripping, this is better and avoids damaging the hair too much.

Best of luck too all with hair colour probs

I complained to L'Oreal that one of their dark brown hair colorants turned my hair jet black, and they sent me several £5 Money-off coupons by way of an apology - along with a letter saying the colour shouldn't be left on any longer than the instructions state.
