[quote=Anonymous]OP I have good advice for you but I need to know a few things:

- What was your color before, and was it virgin hair or previously dyed
- Has your hair ever been bleached at all (highlights, anything)
- How dark did you go
- What tone is your hair naturally (cool, warm, or neutral) and what tone is the color you dyed it. Especially important to note warm tones (anything red, orange, or gold)
- What is your capacity for a few days of really atrocious looking hair if it ultimately gets you back to a place you are happy with?

The good news it that home hair dye tends to fade very quickly. But if you have any warm tones in your hair, you can get orange and brassy color when it fades, in which case I can recommend a toner to help. If your hair has ever been bleached, you need to be patient because you need to be more careful lifting color from damaged hair (all bleached hair is damaged), which can necessitate taking a day or two, or even a week, off between steps so as to have time to deep condition and repair the follicle between steps.

In some circumstances I might recommend an at home color stripping kit but I need to know a lot more about your hair before I suggest it because this can make things much worse (never attempt to strip dark auburn hair dye, especially if you are natural blonde or light brunette -- it will strip all the brown tones and leave your hair bright orange.). I also generally would recommend you tone or potentially even deposit more color on your hair after stripping it, but it really depends on results and goals and how much time you have.[/quote]
