If your new hair color has taken unevenly, darker at the roots or in spots, you will need to add more of the same color to the lighter areas and leave it on for 5 to 7 minutes to even out the color. Follow the directions on the package for rinsing.

Sometimes the color just isn't what it looked like on the package. For example, if you have dark hair and tried to lighten it to blond but instead it turned orange, you simply chose a color that was too light for a one-step process and you will need to do it again. In order to prevent breakage, you should wait a week before attempting to fix it.

When you just don't like the color, or it didn't take well at all on your hair, you may want to choose another color to offset it, or add highlights to brighten it up and let it grow out.
