Dying my hair...

[whiskeysheri]

About two months ago I decided to go back to my natural hair colour after being blonde for a couple of years. I went to the hairdresser's so I didn't end up with orange hair and it came out brilliantly.

The colour had started to fade to a really light brown lately, so I thought I'd colour it back again myself. I chose Darkest Golden Brown (Cappucino). It's come out okay, as dark as I wanted but it's quite reddish in the light. Is there anything I can do to take out the red?

Thanks in advance WS x

use vosene it helps reduce redniss in the hair the same thing happened to me and within a few washes it was hardly reconisable

This has happened to me in the past too ~ I use Pantene Pro V and it toned down after a few washes. I reckon any shampoo will do ;o)

An ash blonde toner or that silver shampoo for people with grey hair remove any hints of redness, but might darken your hair ever so slightly. xxx

hiya - have you a hairdresser supply shop nearby? Sally's is good example, there's all the professional dyes there - Igora Royal is a good brand. choose you colour, plus the required hydrogen peroxide mix, then add something called 'anti-red'. Also I'd advise to have a friend at hand to help dye those hard to reach places! good luck.

Hi tingirl! Thanks for your advice. Do I need to re-dye my hair then use the anti-red or can I just use the anti-red by itself to tone it down? Thanks againx
