Hi, I dyed my light/medium brown hair dark brown today and it came out almost black! Is there anything I can do to lighten it? I don't hate it, but it is definitely too dark for my light skin tone. Thank you for your help. Also, does the lemon juice treatment work (without sun)?

This happened to me and I was not happy with my hair at all. My friend suggested I go see her hairdresser and it was the best thing I could have done. She put highlights in it that took away the "darkness" of the overall look. I would have never thought it would look as good as it did, but she definitely knew what she was doing. Skip the washing your hair 100 times--go get some highlights and the contrast will look great!

Did you use a permanent color? If it's a semi permanent, just keep washing and washing and it will fade some.

Lots of shampooing will help, especially with dish detergent or Prell shampoo. I wouldn't try the lemon, I think that only lightens your natural color. Also, you might want to try a product like Colorfix if it really bothers you. It comes from beauty supplies stores and removes the dye (not back to natural though), then you can put a lighter color over it.

I am a hairstylist, the best home remedy to remove haircolor is HOT water and dish washing liquid. Hot water opens the cuticle and the dish washing liquid has a really strong detergent that it will strip artificial color. You can also mix up lemon juice and baking soda and leave it on your hair for a bit to remove some color. The bad thing is, that lifting color will leave your underlying pigment which for most dark colors is red or orange which will have to be corrected with a toner. Good Luck

If the hair color was permanent, and your hair is dry and porus, you may have a problem, before you call the salon try shampooing your hair with baking soda several times and wait a day or 2 sometimes the color will lighten on its own, dont try any over the counter so called color strippers, they will leave your hair dried out and may not strip the color out evenly, if your hair hasnt lightened any in a week or so you may want to call a salon that specializes in corrective color, it may be costly, but sometimes mistakes come at a very high price!!!! By the way, lemon juice will only dry your hair out.I also agree with N2Blondes go ahead and use dishwashing liquid with your baking soda, dont freak out and think that your are going to turn your hair red or orange, all that will do is remove some of the artificial haircolor that has been deposited, the dishliquid and baking soda will not lighten your natural hair color. DO NOT put anything else over the counter on top of what you have done if this does not start to lighten , get to your stylist have them correct the problem,the more you put on your hair the more damaging it is and the less they can do (depending on the extent of the damage) or the more they have to do, which in turn is going to cost your more.

If you want to lighten your colored dark brown hair there are several things that you need to do. Start with using the loreal hair color removal it is called Loreal Color Zap. After you used the loreal color zap your hair will be ready for recoloring. Once you are at your initial natural medium brown color liven things up by going blonde. Coloring your hair blonde will blend in with your light skin tone. Try exploring the loreal feria blonde collection. The Loreal feria Blonde collection turns even the darkest hair into a lovely blonde without the unwanted brassiness. What I personally recommend is that you lighten your hair 3 shades from your natural color. What I recommend is either the Loreal Feria #88 Blonde Chiffon Medium Blonde or the #81 Cool Blonde Ashy Blonde. After you have colored your hair lather your hair with mayonnaise. I know its sounds crazy but models and actors Beyonce and Beverly Johnson use mayonnaise on their hair to give it that extra shine. Not only mayonnaise makes your hair shiny, but it also adds essential nutrients to your hair. Just wash and rinse. After the mayonnaise use a leave in conditioner on your hair. So with all these tips your hair will look fab and glam. Because you're worth it.

Go to the salon, they can lighten it overall a couple of shades and throw in a few highlights which will break up the darkness.
Don't ever use dish soap or lemon juice, it will fry your hair!
