Wrong Color
You've taken the plunge and gone with a permanent color or a strong semipermanent, but it's just not what you pictured. If you had it done at a salon, any good professional will be happy to adjust it if you're not completely satisfied. (Of course, you might want to think twice about returning to a person who botched the job in the first place.)
If you just can't live with it at all, a colorist can use a color remover to lighten your hair, but you run the risk of further damage and a brassy look and you'll probably have to dye it yet again. (There are color removers available in drugstores, but this process is best left to the pros.) If you've used a gentle semipermanent color, most of it will eventually wash out -- just keep shampooing. In any event, time and a haircut may be your best bets.

HELP! I've just put a Garnier Nutrisse on my hair, bought here where I live in Spain, colour 7.40, which on the box looks exactly like my hair colour (golden blonde) and I wanted to hide the few grey hairs I have, but it's gone vivid orange. What can I do? If you email me back I can send you 'before and after' photos.

I am a Black Female, I went to get my hair colored blonde, the stylist who is also black made it too yellow looking. How can I make it not look so yellow. I don't want to go back to her.

I have naturally light brown hair but have had it darkest brown/black for about 3 years. Im now wanting to go back to a light golden brown. What would i need to do to get it to this colour? I realise it will take a few sessions and that i need to go to a professional but would i need to strip the colour and then foils? or just foils?

I would highly recommend getting your hair corrected by a pro, especially if you are going lighter. I've seen what the at-home kits can do. Your hair will be fried AND blorange. It can be expensive, but worth every penny.
