QuestionI have been dying my hair platinum for years, and I wanted to go back to brown, so my chemist advised me to use dark blond, and now it looks green. What color should I use to rectify it?Community AnswerIf you redye it, choose a more reddish-blond this time (and possibly use a different brand), so there's less of a chance of it turning out green. Also, be sure not to wash your hair for a few days after dyeing to ensure there are no color changes or fading.

QuestionHow do I dye my hair back to a natural color?Community AnswerWait until your roots have grown enough so that you can see what your natural color is. After that, it's safest to ask a professional what hair dye you should use to dye your hair to your natural color. Dye your hair (or let a professional do it), and if you managed to get the hair dye right, there is no visible difference between your natural hair color and the dyed part. After that you can just let your hair grow.

QuestionHow long does the food coloring dye last on unbleached hair?Community AnswerNot long at all. It's better to use a toner, which deposits color into your hair if you're trying to cancel out yellows or oranges. If you wash your hair twice a week, the toner will last about 4-6 weeks. Recolor and tone your hair using 10 developer cream to minimize damage. Your hair won't be permanently damaged as long as you are keeping it healthy in between being toned.

QuestionIs it safe to dye my hair right away after I bleach it?Community AnswerWait at least 3 days (a week is better if you can handle waiting for that long) and give yourself a deep conditioning treatment in between dyes. If you wait a week, do the treatment 2-4 times. The more conditioned, the healthier your hair will be once you dye it.

QuestionMy hair is currently orange. What color will it turn to if I use blonde dye?Community AnswerIt depends. If it's dark orange and you're dying it light blonde, it may not show up. If it's light orange and you use a darker blonde, it will depend on the undertones of the blonde color. If the undertones are cool, it may turn muddy. If the undertones are warm, it will turn to whatever color the package says, possibly a bit darker.
