I would be so gratful for any advice on using Colour B4. Forewarned is forearmed & all that...
I have dark brown hair that I have been home colouring a couple of shades lighter than my natural colour. It was looking too orangey & my dark roots looked bad so I wanted to go back to my natural shade but have ended up all morticia-like.
I'm so cross with myself - I knew I had colour build up & that home dyes are often darker than you expect. I've been trying to fade it with Head & Shoulders but no joy.
So now I'm wondering about Colour B4 but I'm a little nervous... I fully expect it will make my hair orange / gingery (I had some highlights a while ago plus have been dyeing lighter than my natural shade) which I can deal with if only I can get the colour right afterwards. Can anyone help me with the following questions?
If I do go all gingery because of the Colour B4 how do I pick a shade to get back to my natural colour? Will the colour I tried before work (1 shade lighter than my natural colour to allow for homedye over darkness as it were) or should I take it back 2 shades given the recent morticia disaster?
Will I need an ash tone to offset the ginger or will a regular brown do?
And how long do I need to wait before I colour after using Colour B4? Will I just have to go around with pink / ginger hair for a few weeks? Yikes!
Thanks so much.

Is Colour B4 going to solve all my problems or just be another step along my road of hair disasters?
