trying to dye the purple parts of my hair light brown?
Posted on March 30th, 2010 by admin
A few months ago, I dyed underneath my hair purple. I thought that it would be out by now, but i guess not. When I dyed it, I dyed my natural color. I didn’t bleach. Last week, I decided that I would like to dye the purple parts light brown. I tried to do that, and nothing changed. Any advice how to get the purple out of my hair?
You can’t lighten colored hair with color. You have two options: a) strip the color and then dye it; or b) dye it a darker color than purple. I guess a third option would be to go to a salon and have them fix it. But they will also tell you you can’t lighten color with color. Using color, you can only go darker, or if you are working on virgin hair, you can lighten it.
