Hair dye gone wrong.... help, please!!?

ok, so i have dark brown hair and i dyed my hair today and i used semipermanent hair color so it wouldnt damage my hair... i left the dye on for 15 minutes just like it said and then i rinsed it off and washed my hair with special shampoo.... the thing is, it was supposed to turn my hair kind of like a dark blonde caramel/reddish, but instead it came out looking pretty much copper-brown, its a pretty shade, but i dont know why it didnt work the way it was supposed to... also, the top of my head and my roots are MUCH MUCH redder than the rest of my hair, so it looks bad... what should i do, and what do you recomment for the next time i dye my hair if i want a blondish caramel color?

Lightening dark hair is tricky. It is worth the investment to go to a professional next time. The box should have a hotline number to call for extra help this time. Good luck.

a permanent color is more useful when going from dark to light. Any time you go from dark to light you're going to get darker results and it will look less natural. I recommend either waiting it out or going to a salon and getting it re-dyed. I wouldn't re-dye it yourself or else it might end up worse - much worse. If you can't afford to go to a salon try dying it a shade darker than your natural hair color, but red sometimes likes to stick so it may be in your hair for a little while. If you dye it the shade darker yourself, make sure you use permanent hair dye, and wait at least 6 weeks until you dye it again.

The problem was that your hair was too dark originally. When you dye your hair, it takes better to lighter hair. If you dye it again it should come out the color you want but wait a little while. Also a tip is to not wash your hair a couple days before dying it so that the dye will be absorbed better.

The color will fade as you shampoo it, hair always looks darker when you first dye it, I'd speak to the clerk who works in haircare and have her recommend a product with the results you are looking for. Wait at least 2 weeks before applying another colour. You can always use google to find all the brands of hair colour out there, "Garnier Nutrisse" "Natural Instincts" are both good products, sometimes it can be a hit and a miss when colouring at home, it never really does look like *whats on the box*.

ok, first off.... semi permanent hair color is not meant to be used for lightening your hair. semi permanent means it will eventually rinse out. so it must not have been semi perm color... the box may have been but the color and developer inside may have been different...

so if your hair is really skrewed up.. i suggest going to a professional, before you really mess it up!

As for my horrible experience that happened lately hun.

Do not color it any time soon and you have to keep in mind that not all colors work or come out the same way as it is showned in the box. I would probably and most likely go to a GOOD hair salon or studio and ask a hair stylist. Also, if you have previously dyed your hair it wont come out the same way as it's shown in the box since what it's showned in the box it's for "virgin" hair, hair that has never been colored before.

Your current color will most likely wash away so you shouldn't have to worry hun.. and it sounds like it looks nice anyways. =)
