How to Correct a Home Hair Coloring Job

1. Dye your hair with non-permanent colors until you decide whether or not you like the color.
2. Use colored shampoos that will lighten the color slightly if it is too dark for you.
3. Cutting your hair is yet another option but pretty drastic unless you’re looking for a new style.
4. Accelerate hair color fading by washing hair in hot water. Hot water has been known to open hair cuticles which speed up color loss.
5. Schedule a hair appointment with a professional hair stylist. Inform them of your problem so they are better equipped to fix it when you arrive for your appointment.

Tips & Warnings

• Read the hair package directions carefully and thoroughly before applying.
• Use non permanent hair dye.
• Brush hair with wide tooth comb to prevent damage.
• Do not wrap hair in a towel as this promotes tangles and breakage.
