    How to Correct a Home Hair Coloring Job

  1. Step 1

    Dye your hair with non-permanent colors until you decide whether or not you like the color.

  2. Step 2

    Use colored shampoos that will lighten the color slightly if it is too dark for you.

  3. Step 3

    Cutting your hair is yet another option but pretty drastic unless you’re looking for a new style.

  4. Step 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. Step 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.
