QuestionI have used multiple types of permanent hair dye, including a double ash dark brown. Why does my hair always turns a copper color after a short time?Community AnswerIn this case I would look at what kind of water you are using on your hair. Well water is notorious for containing minerals that can alter color. Since you have used different products with the same result, the only constant in your case sounds like the water. I don't know what you can do other than ask a professional colorist for help.

QuestionHow do I slightly lighten my hair after coloring it?Community AnswerWait a few days; hair dye will usually lighten and fade on its own after the first few days/times that you wash it. If a few days have passed, and you still are not happy with the result, combine 2 tablespoons of lemon juice with 1 cup of water. Spray it onto your hair, then go out into the sun for 1 hour before rinsing it off. You can also use honey water or chamomile tea instead. Be careful, however; lemon juice will make your skin extra sensitive to sunlight and sunburns.
