Color cannot lighten color so the only thing that will give you blonde hair again is bleach.

please go to a salon or a professional to do this u will end up either frying your hair or turning it green or some other weird colour. u may not get it back to the origional blond but they can get as close as possible. tell them what u want to have done and if they can't help keep trying until u find one that will.

another thing please stop typing like that its really hard to read.

How can I lighten my dyed dark brown (looks black) hair? Any at-home remedies?

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)?

How can I lighten my dyed dark brown (looks black) hair? Any at-home remedies?

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!

Lightening dark brown hair with lemon juice?

Does it really work? How much should you use? Does it dry out your hair?

My hair is really dark brown with gold brown highlights, barely noticable though and the highlights are grown out majorly.

I'm wondering is it really worth it? Will it make my hair lighter or just make it orange or something? Have any of you tried it?

Lightening dark brown hair with lemon juice?

it works.

just smear some lemon juice on the top of your head and sit in the sun for like an hour. it might dry it out a little but just take a shower and condition that night and itll be fine. ive tried it, it sometimes works good and sometimes just looks the same.

i wanna know too!

Lightening dark brown hair with lemon juice?

We tried this at home a couple of times - it barley works. It does although make you hair sticky, stings your head and insects will be running at you.

So in short I would not recomend it.

Try using a product like sun-in. You simply spay it on (the more you spray the lighter it becomes) and sit in the sun for 10 - 20 minutes. Now this one works.

Lightening dark brown hair with lemon juice?

from what i hear it really damages your hair so i wouldnt do it but i think to lighten your hair highlights are the best way..get like 2 different colors "woven" in so then your hair is lighter but it still looks natural

Tips on dyeing my almost black hair a brown color...after already dyeing.?

I'm mostly Greek. My natural hair color is very, very dark brown, almost indistinguishable from black.

I've dyed my hair many times before, but just once recently, a few months ago. I used Revlon dye, one of the lightest blonde dyes because anything darker won't have an impact on my dark hair. My hair turned a nice medium brown color I was happy with.

Now I have a couple inches of new dark growth. Last night I bought a Revlon 'Dark Ash Blonde' color, but I am unsure how to use it.

Do I? :

a) apply the dye to just the new growth/roots

b) apply to just the roots for most of the time, and then add the dye to the med. brown hair at the last few minutes.

or

c) apply the dye to the whole head evenly?

or

d) your advice?

I just don't want it to make my dark black roots turn brown and make my brown dyed hair turn light brown. I want one color on my whole head, obviously.

I rather not go to a salon, if that's your opinion.

Thanks for your suggestions in advance.

Tips on dyeing my almost black hair a brown color...after already dyeing.?

When you lighten your hair you make it drier, just as when you darken your hair you moisturize it - so know that when you add this new color (lightener) your going to make the new growth lighter but also the old hair more brittle. You can rub it into all your hair and it will come out fine-looking - but the hair that's already been dyed with break off easier. I would suggest you do the whole head ( if you just rub it into the roots you risk that your old coloring has faded and your crown will be lighter than your ends).

Tips on dyeing my almost black hair a brown color...after already dyeing.?

i think b)

if that doesnt work, try applying the whole head

Tips on dyeing my almost black hair a brown color...after already dyeing.?

well, b and c. first you dye your roots,for 3 min. then, apply the dye to your whole head. for the remanider of the time

I want red streaks in my brown hair?

My hair is medium brown, a little bit past my shoulders. I want to get red streaks in it. I have never died my hair before. I want bright red streaks but will that look stupid? Should I get a more natural shade of red? My hair is really kind of dull so I'm excited about this. If you could, please try to provide pictures of red highlights/streaks in brown hair. Thanx

I have seen a lot of people do this before and i think it looks really cool, Lacey from So You Think You Can Dance had red streaks in here hair and it looked really cool. I would have a professional do it for you so they put it in places that accentuate your features. I hope this helps and if you could post a pic of you after you get it done I would love to see. Good Luck!!

love,

I want red streaks in my brown hair?

Get A More Natural Red. My Friend Has Brown Hair That Looks Kinda Like How Yours Sounds And She Got Red Highlights And They Looked Like Crap.

I want red streaks in my brown hair?

DON'T DO IT. It ends up looking brassy and cheap. I'd suggest getting chestnut streaks instead if you want a brighter look.

I want red streaks in my brown hair?

Red is good but key things to remember:

1. Red's an awkward colour to get rid of if you change your mind!

2. It needs colour top-up's every 6-8 weeks! [鎷㈡嫝鎷

3. It's a bold colour so you might want to tone it down with subtle blonde highlights too!

I think you should go for it! I did mine that way last year!- It's all red now though! :) It looks great with any skin tone %26amp; really compliments blue %26amp; brown eyes-i don't know anyone with green eyes whose done it though!

I want red streaks in my brown hair?

dont do it. First, off, red is difficult color to dye your hair. Either it fades quickly, or won't come out at all, no matter how much you dye or bleach it, there will always be a brassy hue to it. Secondly, in order to get the red streaks in your hair, the sylist will bleach your hair where the streaks will go to a really light color, so that the red will show up more. Needless to say, it'll really damage your hair and you'll have to get a lot cut off to repair the damage.

Try using a toner to tone down the brassiness and make it more of the ash brown you want. :)
