I Tried To Dye My Hair Dark But It Went To Dark.?
The color I bought was called really dark brown ( I know 1st mistake lol) I dyed my hair & when I rinsed I was shocked to find black. I thought well most colors fade in a few days or a week to a more natural color. This did not happen for quite some time.
Now it is over a year later & I am still growing the color out. It is now a very pretty brown on the ends but my hair goes 3/4 the way down my back & half my hair is this pretty brown, that I can’t match. I try to dye my roots so they don’t look so dramatically different, but I am ready to have my natural hair color back.
Is there anything I can do at home to try & strip the color naturally. My hair is pretty healthy & I went to a salon & they told me it would be very harsh on my hair to strip it with their chemicals. I would like to find something to help me lighten it or strip it out completely, but that isn’t to harmful to my hair because I am growing it out for locks for love.

I have had the same thing happen to me – the only way I could get rid of it was growing & cutting or stripping it out. Stripping is harsh, but if your hair is in good health, it can take it with some after care TLC.
Good Luck, & good on you for helping such a wonderful cause!

You know, If you just stop dyeing it all together & trim your hair regularly, your hair should grow a lot healthier & you’ll be able to get it back to your natural hair color.
other wise you might as well try to match the colors up really close to your Natural color, & they go fo it.
good luck

Honestly, if your hair is already that long, then I’d just wait until it;s grown out enough to donate, give them all that cut-off dyed part, then start anew with your short hair! It’d be easier that way, & you’d have less hair get damaged that way, too!
P.s. An at-home or salon bleach is the only way to “strip” color from hair – no matter what shade it is!
Hope this helps!
