How To Lightened Too Dark Hair Color?

Donna asks…
I have dark color treated hair, how can I naturally lighten it without going too light?
My hair is originally a medium brown, but I dyed it this winter to a much darker shade. Now I want to lighten it, but I don’t want to use any bleach or anything harsh. I just want my hair a lighter shade of brown, not blonde. What are some natural things I can use to do this?

Administrador answers:
You can get it two shades lighter without using bleach. You can get it to a medium brown, anything lighter will need bleach

How to colored too dark?
I wanted to dye my hair a shade or two darker, from a dark ash blonde to a light ash brown. It came out VERY dark and not flattering at all. I know it will fade naturally, but I have a portrait shoot tomorrow and it needs to be lightened! I’ve heard using dish detergent will lighten it, but will it lighten it if I only do it once? Also, won’t this DESTROY my hair?

Administrador answers:
Dish detergent will lighten it, and yes, you should only do that once. It won’t dramatically lighten it but it will pull some of the darkness out, especially if you just recently dyed it.

How do i lighten my coloured dark hair?
I have been dying my hair a chocolate brown for the past 4-5 years and have recently put a little red in it too.I have always wanted to go blonde! I do not want to go platinum blonde as it will not suit my skin tone. I really like Kimberly walsh’s hair colour and style, like a dirty blonde. Any advice on how i can lighten up my hair?!
Thanks.

Hi. I was in the same position and I discovered a product called B4. You can get it from larger boots stores in the hair dye section. Looks just like a hair dye box. I used the B4 extra strength one at £11.99 It was brilliant. It stripped all the hair dye out and left my natural hair colour without any damage. My hair felt a little dry but after a good conditioner it was fine. The B4 does say it may require more than one treatment if your have been repeatedly dying your hair which you may find and it does take time and patience but for me it worked a treat and I have just had highlights in my hair with no problems. I really would recommend it but read instructions carefully and don’t skip and stages of treatment out. And remember you may need to do it twice because you have been dying your hair for some years. Hope this is of some help and good luck

How to lighten too dark hair?
Also, my natural hair colour is light brown.
About a month ago I dyed my hair with semi permanent hair dye. It made my hair near black, but at the time I liked it. So I used colour saving shampoo and conditioner. Now I don’t like it anymore and have been using normal and anti dandruff shampoo and conditioner but the colour isn’t fading.
Can i lighten it with permanent hair dye? Or can you suggest a way I could lighten it?

Im not sure, but whatever you do, DON’T BLEACH IT! It totally ruined my hair !

I dyed my hair too dark, and dyed over it with a lighter color and it has not lightened. What can I do?
I recently dyed my hair to soft black. I have naturally almost black hair, and normally when I dye my hair, it lightens with a few washes. Hence going black instead of brown. It has lightened up a little, as I use Head and Shoulders shampoo. I waited about three weeks and tried to dye it dark brown. It did nothing. Its been two weeks since I dyed it last. How can I get it to lighten up? Can I use blonde dye on my hair? What about lemon juice? I don’t really care if it turns orange-y, I can dye over that.

Administrador answers:
Try this:1. Get a color toner gets hair to natural color without damage
2. Don’t use any harmful heat on it
3. Use matrix shampoo/conditioner really works
4. Use a diffuser
5. After shower use bio-silk for silky hair
6. Put 2 tablets of vitamin E into damp hair
