Haircolor Turn Out Too Dark?
So...you decided to color your hair and bought a box of "I
can't live without that shade of brown" only to have it turn
out to be "I can't go out of the house in that shade of brown"
(Substitute and color that you have used that is too dark.)
What to do, what to do...Here are a few tips that might get
you through and make the color a little more bearable...
Prell Shampoo...Pure Prell, not shampoo and conditioner in one.
This stuff will help remove some of the color. Now, I'm not
saying that Prell is a "little harsh", no, not me, and the fact
that we used to do an experiment in beauty school, (back in the
days of horse and carriage) that went like this...Take clippings
of hair and place them in a bowl of Prell, go home, and the next
morning the bowl will still have Prell in it, but the hair will
have been dissolved! (trus story gang!) Now, I'm sure they probably
have improved it since then, but the fact that hair became "shiny
and bouncy" was due to the fact of the shampoo being so strong that
it acted like a clarifier to remove any buildup on the hair that caused
the hair to become "limp and lifeless." That's the history of "Prell 101"
Now, back to the too dark haircolor...Pour some Prell in your hand and
apply it to dry hair. Make sure the shampoo covers all of the hair. Leave
this on for at least a half hour and possibly 45 minutes. Rinse with warm
water...
Dawn dishwashing detergent...Do the same as you would have done with
the Prell. Keep in mind your hair will probably be in desperate need
of conditioning afterwards and I suggest using a good conditioner and
leaving it on 10 minutes afterwards...
Olive oil...Coat all of the hair with pure olive oil that has been
heated. Wrap the hair in plastic wrap for 45 minutes. During the
last 5 minutes, apply Dawn to the hair, on top of the olive oil. Rinse
well with warm water and shampoo if you need to...
And if I may add a little tip here...When shopping for a color in
the store, don't be misled by the color on the box. The reason being
that those shades are done on hair that starts out bleached white.
The color will therefore ALWAYS be darker on your own hair unless your
hair is white. The shade can be 1-2 shades darker in most cases. I
would suggest picking out the color you like, then going one shade LIGHTER
on the box to prevent having to oil, bubble, or strip a color that you
aren't happy with...Color removal is the only way to take out the
color completely that you may have put on and hate. The above steps
are for lightening the shade a little. Color removal should be done
by a professional because quite frankly...I don't have enough room
to tell you how to get rid of your orange hair should you try it
yourself...(hairstylists are nodding big time right now aren't ya?)
