If you really don't like it, you can buy a hair dye remover from a chemist. It is for the semi permenant dyes, and when I used it a few years ago, it def took the bulk of the dye out. Not sure if you could then re-dye or not, you would have to check.

If it's a wash in dye that lasts 6 - 8 washes, then I would think just washing your hair lots would do it.

i asked my lovley daughter http://hazidoeshair.tumblr.com/ (who is a bit of a dying expert) has said use a fruit based shampoo to wash as much as the colour out as possible, (at least 6 times) then if its still to bright use a dye stripper then put the brown on over the top. Not to bleach the dye out as it will damage the hair. Then condition-condition-condition

hope that helps..

Was it a temp dye or permanant?

Sounds like you've had some good advice. I think it looks fine, but as Dotty says, if you don't like it then it's no good.
I'm going to try to colour my son't startling golden locks (we bleched his hair for a charity fund-raiser befoe Christmas) this week.
My hair dresser told me it would be fine and to just go for a colour a few shades lighter, as the bleach will have made his hair extra porous. I do hope she's right and it doesn't end up going green!

LOL I like Ribena! better than being Tango'ed?

That is so me lol. I'd had highlighted hair for years and decided that I wanted to go red, picked this lovely St Tropez red and my highlights went dayglo pink, it went down after a bit and became a gorgeous strawberry blonde but prior to that my hair was always plated to the back of my head - it was about 15 years ago.
Seriously though you've had some great advice but if you do bear with it you might find you like it once you get used to it.

If you cant get a dye remover try a peroxide shampoo.Mix your usual shampoo with low vol.peroxide from chemist.It will lift the colour.Or wash twice a day for a week,condition well.The tone will fade.

Hi my friend is a hair dresser and she says never to use head and shoulders as it strips the colour out of your hair so that's worth a try , also my hair has been dyed twice bright red and I love it , it was bleached before and the colour fades really quickly so chances are the red won't last long xxx
