is there a cosmetologist on here? I need help with how to cover my awful dye job I did:(

I can help!!

@alainasmama, awe awesome! so I attempted to dye my hair Auburn black and it turned out like blood red, I bought darkest brown to attempt to cover it, do you think than will cover it or make it worse I have box pics, and current color pic if you need them. like it's so bad!

I'm a licensed cosmetologist

@queendavis, what's the best way to cover this I HATE it! this is not what the box looked like

What color are you looking to get in the end?

@alainasmama, not red at this point I don't really care I'd like a lighter brown because now I want to go grey but I know I'll have to wait a bit for that

And what is your natural color? And how long before this red was your hair colored before that?

I would suggest washing your hair with a clarifying shampoo mixed with a lot of baking soda and then rinse it well and wash it again with your regular shampoo. Then i would do a test strand of hair with the color you want to put in it next to see if it works. If it doesn't there are more aggressive ways to go about fixing your problem. Just let me know :)
