LarlaB Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 DD colored her hair 4 weeks ago with a semi permanent color - an auburn but it’s way more red than she prefers. She’s a light brown and wants a deeper dark brown but we are gradually headed there. Today we dyed it with a semi permanent medium brown and it deepened it a smidge but still very red! How soon can we re/dye witha permanent darker shade? I’m assuming a permanent, darker shade is the only option to really darken it and cover up the red. My understanding is that if you are lifting color or bleaching you can dye darker as often as you want- assuming hair is healthy. Any experts?

HSmomof2 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I think at this point I would take her to a professional to fix the color—she’ll likely end up with a color she likes and less damage. I did bad at-home highlights once as a teen that ended up as orange stripes. Tried to fix it and ended up with fuschia colored hair. Then used a darker permanent color and ended up with jet black hair. Finally, my mom took me to her hair stylist, and she was able to get it back to a nice brown color. I had damaged my hair though with all the processing and ended up cutting it pretty short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I never had issues dying it several times after bleaching it. I mean sure it does not leave your hair 100% like it was naturally, but then it grows back. They make some really good conditioners too. I only went once to have it professionally done and go figure I was not at all impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
