Hair color gone too dark

Hair gone too dark? Sometimes it is not possible to get it as light as you would want without compromising the hair.  It is the health and strength of the hair that determines how light you can go.

Box hair color particularly can sometime carry a stronger pigment which is more difficult to dissolve, you should NOT try to do it yourself. Know this, putting a lighter color on top will not fix it, it may make it worse. This has to be done by a professional.

There are a couple of ways to remove hair color, but all of them are  unpredictable, they have to be closely monitor and the plan of action can be a step by step process.

Don't get discourage, as I mentioned, there are options, but the most important step in this process is choosing the right colorist. Research, research, make sure you are given a detailed consultation and be realistic with your expectations. This can be a costly and timely process but there is always hope.

Corrective Color, the unpredictable truth

Hair by Monica Ponce. - Muse The Salon

Corrective color is a process that requires two or more steps  and will leave the client with a noticeably different look. Sometimes corrective color can be resolved in one visit and sometimes it may need to be done in steps over a few appointments, depending on the individual situation.

There are many factors as why color goes wrong, if you did it at home you may not realize that the porosity or condition of the hair can affect the result.
 If you have a bad result due to a previous visit to a salon, you may have been working with someone inexperienced. Therefore it is imperative that you seek a professional colorist when seeking a color correction service.
Don't try to correct the color yourself or you could make it worse. I have seen clients coming in with blue and green hair because they tried to make a blonde color darker. Sadly I have also seen clients come in with fried broken hair because an inexperienced stylist tried to lighten a color gone too dark.
Since previously colored hair becomes unpredictable to color, only an experience colorist can help you achieve the best possible results with the least damage to your hair.
