Help me fix my hair!

[Triskellion75]

So I decided I wanted to stop colouring my hair blonde and try and get back to my natural hair colour which is dark blonde/light brown.

Long story short, hairdresser dumped colour on it, came out too dark. Nearly two weeks later and it's starting to lighten a bit as she promised (helped by multiple clarifying shampoos) but now it seems almost reddish? I genuinely can't face another salon visit in case it gets worse but can anyone give me any advice?

Crap weird photo attached, top part is day it was done, bottom is in the last couple of days.

The bottom one is lovely.

Bless you, I think the natural light was more flattering!

I have been doing that and my hairdresser has blended in a few very fine highlights with as close to my natural color as possible. Its a balayge but the main thing is minimal colour. Its taken a long time but my colour is almost back to what it was.

Any hair colour unless it's been lifted to a 10 then toned down to a 7 it will always fade warm I'm afraid that natural dark blonde light brown is one of the hardest colours to achieve with colour ( I'm a stylist )The only thing u can do it either use a toner to tonal correct so if it's going a bit warm orange then use a blue toner or blue shampoo if it's only leaning yellow gold warm use purple shampoo it's it's red red the u will need a specific green hair toner hope this helps don't use anything permanent because it's vicious cyle until u can grow natural out hope this helps ! If u do use a toner I wud stick to a level 8 so that it will stay sheer and not go dark x

I was thinking green shampoo but I'm a bit scared I make it worse!

As long as it is leaning red green with work but if it's not it will go a muddy brown I would stick maybe worth a blue shampoo there is alot on the market if blue doesn't do it then go for the green x

I'm going to go for the blue first then, thanks so much.

It will fade to warm until it is bleached more to get out of the warm zone. Otherwise it's topping up with semi perm ash brown every 6 week keep it cooler. I had bleached highlights that came out yellow and orange, I put cosmic blue schwarzkopf on top and it still faded to warm orange cinnamon brown within 2 months and that was supposed to be a permanent black hairdye!
Blue and purple masks are subtle and need weekly or bi monthly application. They will improve warmth but won't totally get rid, maybe half a shade cooler (i tried different blue masks, on dry and wet hair application from 5 mins to 1 hour)

Keep us updated @Triskellion75 !!!

Will do! Thanks for all the help!

Just used the blue shampoo for the first time, I think I love it!

Looks good! What one did you use

@Triskellion75 ahhhh that's good happy to help !.
Best to use this instead of causing more damage !!! X

Thanks so much for the suggestion, how often/many times should I use it to get the best effect?

@Tcateh I used the Fanola one:

@Triskellion75 id say once a week !! And just see how it goes 😀

Also @Triskellion75 good choice the fanola is one of the best!!! The purple shampoo is good as well if anyone ever considering buying it really knocks yellow hair out !!! X

Thanks so much again, I really appreciate all the help from everyone. I've got a month or so to get it looking even better in time for my eldest's graduation!
