Is there a way to reduce hair dye effects?

My natural hair colour is mid brown, I applied a dark brown dye and it came almost black !!!

Am going to try washing it several times, in the meantime, does anyone have any tips of how I can reduce the colour so its not at intense? I am going on holiday in 4 days and am desperate!!

I have heard of Hair dye colour reducers but would prefer something a bit more natural, as don’t want to pour chemicals on it…..

Thanks in advance

Answer #1

Just keep washing it. It will shampoo out of there and lighten up considerably. Dark brown hair color ALWAYS comes out way darker than on the box. Try Prell a few times a day until you leave.

And never, never, never do any hair color changes before a big event or trip. One of the first lessons a lady can learn!

Answer #2

um…well, you can dye it again…just a lighter color…or put some lemon juice in it, and lay out in the sun for a couple hours (I know…sounds wierd) but the acidic compound in the lemon, combined with the suns rays, will turn your hair lighter…

Good Luck!

Hope I helped… <3
