I have dark brown hair. I had my stylist highlight it. I asked for 2 shades lighter. I got red/yellow. How can I darken them??
Thanks! |

Any beauty supply store, Sally's Beauty will carry beautiful browns or something similar, they are no activator colors but have some good stating power. Just choose an as or neutral shade to offset the red/ yellow if you don't care for that tone of color. Also match your normal shade so you can coat your entire head without altering your normal color just, lighter so you still have highlights. These have no lift so will not lighten your hair but the streaks will soak it in and also be coated. One great side effect it adds great shine/gloss to all your hair and is actually good for it instead of damaging!  |

I know you can get some kind of rinse that removes most of the colour deposit..but it is something that only professionals can buy?
not too sure, but one salon (in Canada) I shop at if they know you you can walk in and buy anything they use..like professonal colours.
Not too sure if they are "allowed" to do that as they do not advertise at all.
The drugstore might have something like that..Inever buy drugstore hair colour..so no idea.
I used to have red,brown and blonde hair on purpose a few years ago (looked nice but took 4 hours to colour 
When that was growing out I ended up redyeing my hair as it was just too much work.
I remembe they had to use a filler colour and ten something on top to make emy hair a more even brown again.
I'm not a hair expert, but have just picked up many tips from professional people along the way.
I am supposed to get a haircut a the store that sells hair products this week, will try and ask the name of the colour remover product. |

| thanks for the information. I think I may try to get an ash toner in light brown and see if it helps... |

I wouldn't use any color remover as that strips/lifts your natural color!
Make sure any "toner" isn't used with peroxide or a developer that will alter your natural color that isn't highlighted. |

But then wouldn't the new colour absorb better and that it would get rid of the highlights?
or is it better to just colour over the highlighted pieces..asuming there is not a lot of them?
I guess if you just colored over everything, the highlights would still show up as a new or better shade.
Wow,
did no think fixing hair at home could be so complicated  |
