Hair Gone Orange

[kloofnek]

My daughter regulary colours her hair,blonde...but this time...it is yellowy-orange!!!!!

She spoke to an hairdresser who advised her to put lemon on it....any hairdressers out there who can advise if this may work.

It won't work. She needs a toner colour, either shop bought or at a hairdressers.

Happened to me, I chose a colour near as possible to my own, called latte but it went nearly mahogany instead of light brown. It may be better to bite the bullet and get a professional to do it.

I wouldnt think lemon would work.She needs prefessional advice.

Hoodie for Xmas present then. Maybe an early one.

I'd have thought anything worth a try if recommended by a professional. Unless there was a fear of making things worse. Otherwise can only let the experts sort it and consider it a lesson learnt.

she should put an ash colour on, that takes out the orange/yellow tone!

Thanks for replies,she ended up going to hairdressers and it was done a light brown,looks very nice as some of the light colour shows through a little ,a bit like highlights.She swears she will never do her own hair again...but leave it to the professionals!!!!

haha I can talk, I tried to lighten some of mine in streaks with a decolour, and now I am bright ginger, will have to think before I do anything rash!
