i dyed my hair yesterday and it came out too dark. its really dark brown, almost black. it's ok, just not what i was looking for. are there any ways i can lighten it? if i bought another thing of dye, i'd probably have to pay for it again, & i'm broke. plus my mom would have to do it and she's never dyed hair before so i'm sure she'd mess it up. i don't wanna go to a salon because it's so expensivee, & my mom won't pay. is there anything i can do to make it a little lighter??
thanks
btw, i used loreal natural match if that helps

peroxide will make it lighter but i don't know if that might be what you are looking for you just might want to be careful if you do it

Wash your hair in nice piping hot water as often as it can bare it. That will lightning it as quickly as anything will, short of re-dying it.
(You should also always wait at least three weeks between dye jobs or else you run the risk of the chemicals reacting oddly with one another and producing a totally different colour then you intended.)

yeah, wash your hair. When I dyed my hair, I took a shower the next day and it already started to lighten. The rule is that you can't wash your hair after 3 days you've dyed it. I know... it's gross but if you wash it, then it'll lighten. It just takes some time.

ive never dyed my own hair, but ive had my layers underneath dyed twice at a salon, from blonde to medium brown, and it always fades some after its been washed a few times. yours should too. if not, then probably all you can do is re-dye it, but itll damage your hair alot if you do. if you do want to redye it, wait about 3 weeks so your hair wont be fried so much at once, but its almost guaranteed to fade a little.
good luck!

Unfortunetly, one standard rule in hair colouring is if your hair is virgin (to colouring) then you must get it done at the salon first.
This may or may not be your first time, however, I would just wait for it to fade. I recommend using regular shampoo's (not the kind for colour treated hair) because they will help the fading process. Infact, Dawn diswashing liquid helps to lighten your haircolour. Don't use it everyday though!
By the way.. redying your hair with a lighter colour doesn't always work. The chemicals in lighter colours to the darker colours are most of the time less dominant. Therefore the colour doesn't always show.
