How to Tone Hair With Vinegar
Dying your hair can be hit or miss sometimes. Sometimes your hair will turn out too dark, too light or too bright. To tone down the color you do not need to enlist the help of a professional stylist. Rummage through your kitchen for some vinegar; a vinegar-based wash will tone down the color of your hair, while not stripping your hair like chemical toners can. Does this Spark an idea?

I just did this but for 3 hours with a mix of lemon juice and white vinegar, plus some conditioner left over from my previous permanent coloring last month. I was in sun for about 3-4 hours and got at minimum one shade lighter and and in some areas, like ends...about 2 shades lighter. I was a medium auburn via Loreal" Preference". Now I am light auburn/light brown with some gold highlights.
