A Question for anyone that knows anything about hair coloring!   Author:  30401  Category:(Discussion) Created:(3/20/2003 9:16:00 PM) This post has been Viewed (1314 times) Ok. For about a year I have been bleaching and toning my hair to be blonde. And it looked pretty good. But I was getting sick of the up keep my hair grows really fast and I was having to touch up the roots constantly. So I decided to dye my hair a light brown color, that closely matched my natural color (even though I didn't want to use harsh dyes, but I couldn't wait for it to grow out, because it would of looked terrible while doing so) So ANYWAYS I got a light color because I didn't want it to turn out to terribly dark. So I used a shade called 'light brown' by Wella (it wasn't a common brand, but it looked good, and I had read some good reviews about it being gentle for hair, so I used it.) Well my hair is shiny, but it is really dark, it is a very dark shade of brown. (Way darker than my natural color) Now my question isn't how to get it lighter, because I don't want to chemically alter my hair anymore, so I am just going to let it grow out and keep cutting it until it's my natural color. But If you know anything about coloring hair, maybe you can tell me what happened, why did it have such an intense result? ........
