Oh no! What colour was it before? You might be take it back down agian. I have when it's gone gingery.

Seriously, I'd find a salon open today and get it sorted out professionally. Loads open on Sundays so hopefully you'll be ok.

when I attempted to home dye my hair blond and it went gingery my hairdresser said the peroxide hadnt been strong enough and that it hadnt been left on long enough to change the colour properly.

This is why I dont home colour any more, it just isnt worth the potential for disaster.

I did this, against all good advice! Either go to a salon to get it fixed or do what I did, buy a few boxes of semi perm home dye, cut a chunk of hair out to strand test and assuming all looks ok just keep dying over it. Mine is fine now, growing out nicely.

thanks girls, off to find a salon or failing that a brown bag and bottle of wine LOL
