Can I dye this hair yet?!

My daughter dyed her hair at the beginning of the 6 weeks holidays a really vibrant red, at the end of the holidays it was still quite bright so to follow school rules we used a colour before hair colour stripper, which has left it as you can see if in the picture!

She hates the colour and wants to dye it closer to her original colour. Is it too soon or would it be ok? Happy to use temporary if that’s better? Can’t afford a salon right now so whatever we do will be a box job!

(also ignore how greasy it is, she’s trying to make it curly and has used ALOT of curl cream 😅)

I actually really like the colour, I would love for my hair to look like that😃

Did you use Colour B4? I have done this in the past, I think you can put a semi-permanent on, it will come out darker than the box so I used to use a dark ash blonde if you want a medium brown with no red in

I love the colour but yes a semi permanent is possible, I have done this in the past

Oh and to get curls have you considered a heatless curling band, about £5 on amazon, a soft satin covered wire band thing that you wind your damp hair in and leave all day or sleep in and voila beautiful curls with no heat damage. If you go for one don't get the hard tube sort, go for the satin band.
