Getting Back To Your Natural Hair Color

Have you dyed your hair and are unhappy with the results? When it comes to corrective hair coloring, each case is unique, because no two hair genetics are exactly alike. In Michelle’s case she will be doing a tint-back which is an easier process than correcting a hair color that is too dark, but still tricky. These questions need to be answered: Do you have regrowth (roots) showing?

Yes?

Then the roots will need to be treated separately from the rest of your hair. It helps for a hair colorist to see about an inch of regrowth in order to match that as closely as possible. Seeing that you want the hair color darker, the hair colorist would use a formula that will work best for tinting back the hair color that exists now. It takes some know-how to get this right, not only in the formula, but also in the application. You could do a lot more damage by trying to correct this yourself. The condition of your hair can only be assessed by someone taking a look at it. My guess is it can withstand a hair color back at this point.

No?

Then you may be able to get help by calling the company hotline on the back of the box of hair color you bought. They will ask you a number of questions regarding your hair history and it’s present state. They will advise you on the best route to take from the information you give them. Don’t do anything unless you are clear that the information you gave them was correct.
