I am not changing my picture until I lighten this sucker out! My hair was supposed to go brown but it ended up black! I have been dying my hair since I was 12. I have been every color I can think of but this is my first really bad mistake. I have seen it on television where someone went to dye their hair and it ended up green but never had that happen until now. It is so dark it almost looks blue. The boys say it great for Halloween though, I look like a witch. AHHHHHH! Have you done anything to your hair that was a big mistake?

I had my hair professionally dyed once...and they used ash blonde and it turned my hair green. If you ever use a color with the word "Ash" in it, there's a good chance your hair will be green. I've dyed my hair every color imaginable and I've never really, besides the professional 2 times i've gotten it done, had any problems with it. I've hated both the professional dye jobs I got though.

Wow I am surprised a pro messed it up. I was thinking today that I should have gotten one to did it other than me. I also cut my own hair. Maybe I am better at just doing it myself but staying away from dark brown, cause it went black. I washed it three times since I started the post this morning HEHE It has lighten a tiny bit but the sucker is still black. HEHE Sorry to hear about the green hair. I guess those shows weren't fooling!

Yeah, I cut my hair myself too. I think it's better when you do it yourself because you can make it how you like it. Plus, you have no one else to blame other than yourself. You know? Plus it costs a whole lot less money! Even dying it at home. I spent like 90 dollars when I got my hair dyed green... and about 10 bucks at cvs on my way home where I re-dyed it to a real blonde!

I dyed my hair a really pretty deep redish brown and it turned out bright purple! I just dyed it another brown shade and it fixed everything.

Look on the back of the box there will be a number you can call. And they will tell you what color you should put on it to fix it. I know a couple of friends who have dont that. Good Luck.

Thanks TerryZ! I may just do that if this doesn't lighten up a bit more. Thanks!
