What exactly is a hair color correction?

I dyed my hair black and i love it but im bored i want a lighter shade. does color correction take you back to your original color?What exactly is a hair color correction?
A color correction can be classified as so many things! Probably the hardest Colors to get out are black and red. Especially if those colors are achieved with a box color. In your case I would assume your stylist can either use a color remover on your hair and that would just strip out all the artificial color in your hair and start over or depending on your hairs integrity maybe you guys can work up to a lighter color by highlighting and toner your hair. Good Luck!

Hair Color Correction?

Here's what happened: I dyed my medium brown hair with Feria's light golden brown in January. It really didn't do too much to my hair except add some orange/red to my hair, unevenly at that. So stupid me, I decided to dye it again the same color. Again, it did nothing except add some more orange/red to my hair. It lightened it some so after about a month, I decided to dye it again. I used Feria again, but went with the lightest golden blonde. I thought it would be smart to use the same base color so my hair wouldn't turn an ugly gray or green and it obviously added WAY too much orange again! Right away I went to the hairdresser who said highlights would work to fix the problem without dying the whole head over which it didn't. So now I have copper/ginger hair with yellow/gold highlights. I've already bought Clairols shimmering lights and it didn't work that well. I know I've been damaging my hair a lot so I've been doing a lot of olive oil, almond oil treatments and bought a protein conditioner and did an egg mask to try to rebuild my hair. I still have this color that needs to be fixed. Its been at least a month since the last color/highlights. My hair is still very frizzy when it dries out and HAS to have oil/gloss on it to make it smooth. I've been letting my hair air dry. Should I wait longer to fix it? Am I doing to many hair treatments? On a weekly schedule, I do 2 oil treatments, 2 protein masks (egg or protein conditioner) and 2 moisturizing treatments (moisturizing conditioner and cholestorol). If I can fix it now, should I dye it darker (although I really want lighter), use a toner (which I have innocent ivory born blonde toner with violet base - blue for the orange in my hair and purple for the yellow = violet) and born blonde isnt mixed with developer and has no ammonia or peroxide or bleach the whole head one last time to get what I ultimately want, blonde. What is the best way with the least damage? I just want a pretty color and after that only want to touch up my roots. Believe it or not, b4 this i haven't dyed my hair in over 2 years! It was all natural color.Hair Color Correction?
I think you should give your hair a break from coloring it. Coloring your hair now will cause damage and possibly breakage, wait until your hair is healthy again. I put color in my hair and wasnt't happy with the results. I used Paul Mitchell's Shampoo Two in my hair. I shampooed my hair with it everyday for a week and used a good conditioner each time. This helped a lot. You can also go to Sally's to see if they can guide you with color correction. I would hold off on all of those treatments. It's like they say, ';Too much of a good thing.';. I hope this helps. Good luck.Hair Color Correction?
I feel your pain, I did almost the same thing! One option you have is to go to the salon and have a demi/semi permanent dye done. It is not nearly as damaging to your hair as normal dye! Tt can't lighten your hair though...it only deposits color- does not lift it. If your hair is really porous from the damage, you may want to use protein filler (from Sally's ive heard) on your hair before getting it dyed to make sure the color sticks. Good luck!

Hair Color Correction?

I had my hair colored yesterday. I started out light brown and wanted to go to a light blonde. The colorist put a 20 bleach on my hair and then toned it. Long story short, it is way to blonde, I mean white blonde. Is there anyway to correct this at home and if so, should I do it today? I really don't want to wait. I want to be a darker blonde, can I just put a color on top on this one?Hair Color Correction?
did you show the colourist a pic or those colours in those books?


if you have,you can probably go back and ask them to redo for you.


or visit another colourist.

Hair color correction?

I have been dying my hair every 3-4 months for the last two years. Four months ago I dyed my hair black with the natural instincts by clairol. It says that it was suppose to wash out in about a month but it hasn't. I want to go to a professional to have my hair dyed back to my natural color which is a dark brown. Since the product I used was semi-permanent will they be able to just dye it brown or will they have to strip it? I want something that will be the least damaging to my hair. Any opinions?Hair color correction?
I know this sounds crazy, but....


when i dyed my hair black accidentally, i was told by a hair professional that dandruff shampoos strip the colour away - particularly 'head and shoulders'.


So i used it everyday and sure enough it fades! i used a PERMANENT colour but now my hair is back to light brown in less than 2months. otherwise yes the hairdresser would have to strip it.Hair color correction?
I'm thinking (without seeing your hair) what might have happened is that since you color your hair every 3-4 months, that your ends are porous and have grabbed the color.





They can get your hair back to what it was, but my guess is that they will have to lighten the ends, color the hair on the roots first, then the last 4-5 mins. put the color on the ends.





You should be doing touch-up color this way too, so your ends won't grab color in the future. And get all the porous ends trimmed off of your hair, or you'll most likely run into this problem again.





Hope this helps you out!
just make sure u go to the new color step by step and cut off split ends. i cringe at split ends. i love my hair and i have dyed it sense i was in 3rd grade. have fun and hope it lookes good.
they should be able to dye it back
They might have to strip it if it is still really black.

Hair coloring correction/?

tonight i died my hair deep burgundy brown/chocolate cherry from feria. my color before was dark brown but my roots came out really hot and the ends not so much. the ends just look black and there isnt much of a red glow to it. i am wondering if i should go back and get the 32 which was light auburn black, a step darker and maybe it would make it even?Hair coloring correction/?
yah go back and get one shade darker, and put it everywhere but MOSTLY on ur roots.Hair coloring correction/?
you should use a color removal system..and get all of it out first.

Would you wait for your hair to grow out or get a hair color correction?

Ok, so I highlighted my hair a significantly lighter color and of course it has faded and i HATE IT!!! I have very long hair and I CAN NOT stand to have short hair. My roots have grown out about 5-6 inches and it looks horrible. I want to get a color correction, its expensive, but personally I would pay it, but I'm getting a lot of ppl telling me to just wait for it to grow out... btw I am a very IMPATIENT person.





I've learnt my lesson... NEVER DYE YOUR HAIR!!! Unless your graying, then thats just grossWould you wait for your hair to grow out or get a hair color correction?
I would get you're roots done or whatever. But you should just do what you feel is right to do.Would you wait for your hair to grow out or get a hair color correction?
Spend the money-just be sure to go to a reputable shop.

Do I need hair color correction? If so, how much does it cost?

I just got my hair colored by a stylist who obviously had trouble understanding what I wanted when I walked into the salon and asked for a ';warm chocolate brown'; color. My hair is naturally an ashy medium brown. When she first dyed it, it turned out strawberry blond. When I told her that the color was not what I wanted and she put toner in it to get rid of the red, it turned a dark auburn. It is now a very very dark brown with a weird red tinge to it and it looks almost purple in some lights. I told her that I wanted her to fix it and she got an attitude with me, so I walked out. I called a hair stylist that I've known for awhile and whom I trust, but I don't know if I need color correction, if she needs to strip it, or if she can just use highlights or do another single process on top of what I have now. I want to go lighter. I want a chocolate brown color, but I don't want to have to spend $200 like some people have said I will. Any suggestions, info, or advice?Do I need hair color correction? If so, how much does it cost?
I would go to the hair stylist that you've known for awhile, and maybe she'll be able to figure out what needs to be done. Good luck :(Do I need hair color correction? If so, how much does it cost?
i would call the stylest that you trust and ask them what they think. this happened with me last week. i went to get blonde and red put in my hair and it ended up blonde and pink. so i went back and just dyed it back brown. my hair is really dry now though, since all the chemicals. just call and ask! im sure he/she can tell you on the phone, or have you come in to see what they think about it.
ehh you can get a home kit and do it yourself or


have her bleach your hair and start over..

Should this hair color correction be done for free?

I went into a Regis salon for the first time today for a weave and a trim. My hair is mostly gray, so the stylist did blond highlights with darker lowlights to the top and framing my face. Totally happy with the color and cut, EXCEPT for one spot, over my left ear.





When I left the salon, my hair was styled in such a way that I didn't notice any problems. But after I got to the car I lifted up my growing-out bangs to see what it would look like with my bangs clipped back, the way I often wear it. And there above my ear is this HUGE chunk of really blond highlight with a horrible-looking diagonal stripe of the darker color cutting across it. It looks awful and it's totally visible with my bangs clipped back!





Is this something I should be able to get corrected free of charge? I'd like to go back in tomorrow and politely insist that it be fixed, but I don't know what the norm is.





This salon and stylist are new for me, and I paid $145 for the color and cut. I don't want to seem like a b***h, but on the other hand this looks pretty bad! I liked the job except for this section; on the other hand there's no way she wouldn't have noticed this, and she didn't point it out and offer to correct it, even though she didn't have any clients waiting.





What do you think?Should this hair color correction be done for free?
I have worked in a hair salon for awhile and seen plenty of ';bitchy customers'; and the ones who come in for a color corrections are NOT one of them!





It is good that you noticed, so go back in (or call), tell them what you had done and show them what you want fixed and ask them what the fee for a ';quick color fix'; would be. They should say it is free, all good hair salons want to keep their customers, and a small touch-up like that is nothing.





Definitely not a b*tchy thing to do!Should this hair color correction be done for free?
i think that you should go back.


i mean all you have to do is tell them that the bangs are not how you like them because you like clip them back...dont worry you are not being a b***h by doing this, its just the facts. Make sure you tell them though that you love the rest its just that one part.

Hair Color Correction HELP!!!?

I decided to color my hair myself but messed it up. I had highlighted hair that was very blonde and wanted to get back to my natural color so I colored it medium brown. HOWEVER....it is RED! Flaming Hot Cheeto red does not look good on me and I need someone's advice on how to fix this. I cannot afford to go to the salon. I was thinking I should get a wash to uncolor it and start over....please help!Hair Color Correction HELP!!!?
First you should decide how important it is to you to have nice hair. It is going to be worth it to go to a professional who knows how to deal with color mistakes. It might cost you some money but how many times are you going to try to fix it yourself, damaging it more in the process, until you have to break down and pay someone to either fix the color or cut off all your damaged hair?





Don't bleach it! You still have all that highlighted hair underneath the red color and if that gets overprocessed by over bleaching it, it will not hold any dark color that you put on. Hair does not repair itself like skin does. You can definitely damage it to the point of no return and a sure fire way to do that is to bleach it multiple times.





The easiest, and most gentle, thing to do now is get a semi-permanent color that is the same level of brown (or darker) in an ash. Since you used medium brown, a medium ash brown should work. This will tone down some of the red and not make it too much darker.





The brown you used turned red because you put it on blonde hair. Going from blonde to brown is touchy....there are steps you have to follow to get the right color. I obviously won't go into that here, but that's why when doing such a drastic change it's smart to spend the money at a salon where you know they know what they're doing.





Good Luck!!Hair Color Correction HELP!!!?
Unless you used temporary color you cannot just wash it out, it is called permanent color for a reason. The only way to go lighter is to bleach. Since your hair is so red you will need to bleach before you tone, a toner won't tone out such an intense red. Shampoo your hair a lot with a cleansing shampoo and hot water, that will fade it as much as it can be faded. If you get a salon quality cleansing shampoo you will probably get enough out to just tone it. You'll need to tone it with an ash dye, but again that cannot be done over the red unless you are dying it black.

Hair color correction?

My hair was colored with a light brown color then I added blonde highlights. I used a blonde box color to lighten all of it and it has a very orange tone. I used a toner and it made it quite dark so I highlited through a cap with bleach and it's all orange again. I want a nice light blonde color, what do I do? My hair is in good shape if you can believe that!Hair color correction?
If you keep dying your hair it wont be in good shape anymore so after this i would wait awhile. but you could bleach all of it to strip your hair from orange, and then choose the color you want and redye it.. but i would recommend going to you nearest salon and asking them what they think is best, only because i dont have an idea of what your hair is at the moment.





GOODLUCK and i hope i was somewhat helpful

Salon Hair Color Correction- Does it include hair being dyed afterwards?

So, I dyed my hair a semi-permanent black. For some reason, it's fading at a tremendously slow pace. Before school strarts back up again, I want to dye it an orangy-blondish color. I'm going to need get a color correction in order to dye it because color can't lift color. However, I'm running on a low budget. At the salon's website I'll be getting it done at, it says that color correction is 70 bucks. Would the color correction include me having my hair dyed the blondish color I want afterwards? Or will I have to pay for the correction AND the dye as two different things?? Help me please!Salon Hair Color Correction- Does it include hair being dyed afterwards?
Color correction usually means to get it to the desired color. But then again, you changed your mind on what you want since you, yourself colored it black, and now decided you want blonde. But really, I think they would consider what you want now to be the correction.


Why don't you call that salon, explain what you did, what you want and ask them.


Also, did it say 70 and up because they might charge more if it takes more products and procedures. I imagine will all the black color do it yourselfers, they probably get a lot of this correction.


But def go to a salon as doing this yourself could cause you more problems. As the poster before me said it was well worth it.





edit.....you get 10 points if your answer is picked as best answer.Salon Hair Color Correction- Does it include hair being dyed afterwards?
from personal experience, get it done professionally. I got a dark violet color in my hair and wanted it blonde 2 months later, and I did it at home. so I did , and all it did was lighten it. I did it two more times and my hair was WAY damaged. so it is much better just to go to a salon, and it looks better in the long-run. and the color your looking for is Strawberry-blonde :]
it cost me 拢75 to get it done.my hair was coloured black and i wanted to go back to blonde.the hairdresser stripped the black from my hair and then washed and dried it then applied the blonde coloures to it.i kept a section underneath at the back black and she did my roots then i got it cut.5 hours and 拢75 later it was done.money well spent i thought.
go to the hairdresser's and get your hair stripped (of colour), then buy hair colour and get someone to help you do it at home..





ps how do you give 10 points?

Hair color correction advice?

I wanted to add that on Night 2 (last night) when I 'bleached', I did a long deep-condition afterwards and conditioned again today. My hair feels like all I did was re-dye it. It does not feel like 'straw' or anything so I'm not afraid to put another layer of color on it.Hair color correction advice?
Stay away from any ash colors. I have done hair for 16years and never use ash colors and never had undesired color results. I would suggest using a color that is a natural blonde or natural brown. They have a different base color and will have a more predictable result. The other colors you mentioned will only add more red and/or orange tones to what you already have. I would do a test strand from scalp to ends for the full time. If ends grab, then apply to scalp first, if scalp grabs more then apply to ends first. Good luck!

HAIR COLOR CORRECTION...hair help from colorists please???

I just moved to a new town and have had 4 very terrible hair coloring experiences. I was a champagne blonde and had a matching base color (have to use base to completely cover grays).





1. Hair colorist 1. Use base 9N which made roots brown/red and 20 vol. bleach. Blonde looked great. Roots HORRIBLE and grays not totally covered





2. Hair colorist 1 part 2. I complained about my roots so she uses 8N and hair still reddish.





3. Hair Colorist 2. Slaps on 20 vol bleach for touchups and leaves roots alone. Hair looks brittle and hay colored with reddish brown roots. UGLY.





4. Hair colorist 3. Today go in for hair correction. Bring picture of Carrie Underwood and ask for Beige/Champagne blonde hair with NO redness or yellow looks or red. Hair turns light brown with green ash tint w/ some reds. I am not sure what she used but it looks nothing like the pic. I paid $200 and called back demanding she fix.

Hair color correction or highlighs?

I want a nice med/dark brown color - like a level 4. I've had it colored dark for 3 months now...the first 2 months I LOVED it. But this last time she did it...it's waaay to dark. It is a level 1b...pretty much black. I have very fair skin and it looks not pretty. I waited too see if it would fade some...but i hasn't...and it's been about a month since the color job...I don't think It;s going to fade anymore. So...how do I get back to that Level 4 brown?? Do I need to schedule a color correction? Or would massive highlights be a better option? Uhhhhh color is so frustrating. :(Hair color correction or highlighs?

I'm pretty sure this was one of my worst ideas, but I decided to bleach my hair, followed by coloring it green.





need-less to say, it looks horrible.


I need advice on correcting the color.


Im not sure if I should use a whole hair color thing, or something else?





There aren't any hair places open and I have to go to school tomorrow.








please help):Hair color correction help?
depending on your natural color,...





bleach is always a bad idea, unless, bleached is the color you want. if you added color over it, you've really messed up your head. and i think it is time to call in the professionals.





if you were coloring it green, then for some reason i don't think you care what the others at school think. so wear it to school and get it fixed after.





if you go adding another color, you could really mess it up, but if you do decide to try it, start with a small section first.Hair color correction help?
wow. i highly recommend you don't do anything. putting more color in your hair will just fry it. wear a bandana to school tomorrow. wrap it around and make it look cute and go to a hair salon asap.

How much does hair color correction cost? I know it depends on the person and salon, but any experience?

I dyed my light blonde hair with a semi permanent dye to a light ugly brown. I made an appt to have it fixed, to a chocolate brown like I had intended. Well, it turned out black! I do not want to go back to the salon, the guy was bonkers. I am going for a consult today to have correction done, and I just want it to look natural, don't care how or what they do, brown is fine, black is not. Any price ranges? I want to know if this is going to be more than 200 bucks. Also, I have managed to have it fade a bit using dishsoap, head and sholders, olive oil, Tide and hairspray. Should I just carry on with that instead? It is still way too dark and my scalp feels kinda warm and tingly....





I had my hair dyed about 5 days ago.How much does hair color correction cost? I know it depends on the person and salon, but any experience?
if the salon jacked up your color THEY should fix it FREE.





if you jacked up your own color (i charge) $200 and hour plus the service ($75 for the color; $50 for a T hilite; $75 for a partial foil; $150 for a full foil ) plus a haircut ($20 with a chemical service; $45 without).


and i can almost guarantee you'll never color you hair yourself again.How much does hair color correction cost? I know it depends on the person and salon, but any experience?
I would go back to the salon and have someone else fix your hair, if it did not turn out the way you wanted it then it is the salons fault, not yours......it costs way to much to pay for their mistake, if you don't want to go back and ask them to fix it, I would call around to a few salons and she if they will give you any advice and how to fix it yourself....that always works for me...GOOD LUCK
Don't call up a salon and say you want a color correction. There is no reason to double-bill you or punish you for having been to another salon.





Just say you want it lightened up. They'll probably be able to throw in highlights to get you an overall lightened look. It may cost around $75 to $100 depending on the salon.





Be sure to deep condition your hair, try something like Aveda Damage Remedy. Some say Joico products are good to, so just see what you like and best of luck.
