i'll be using a DIY hair color kit. i have black asian hair and it will be my first time to color. i bought a mahogany color but i think its too red for me. if i wash the dye off early, will i get just a tinge of color? (that's what i'm going for..)

Answer
if it's a permanent color then you'll have to mix 2 chemicals together.
the developer (sometimes called peroxide) works for the first 20-30 minutes to lift out your natural haircolor; then the color gets deposited into the hair for the next 15 minutes (it depends on how long it's supposed to be left on. different manufacturers have different times to leave the color on)

you could end up with a tinge of color - you could also end up with all kinds of different colors because the color doesn't penetrate as well on some parts as it does others (hair close to the scalp developes faster because of the heat of the head)

here's my suggestion:
do a strand test on a swatch of hair in the back (under all your other hair) close to the occipital bone (the one that sticks out in the back of your head). wrap it with aluminum foil for the correct time on the package. once it's done shampoo, condition and blowdry to check the color out. you might just want to do hilites with the color around your face so it's not TO different.

red color molecules are the biggest there are so it fades more quickly than any other color.

How to lighten deep auburn hair?

Ambrielle

So I just got my hair colored, and I thought I liked it, but it's a little more fake looking than I'd like it to be. It's a very very dark red that you can just see in the light. I was hoping to fade the darkness a little, but not the color. Is there a way I can lighten my hair shade but not strip the color so I still have a dark red, just a little more on the red side, than the dark side?

Also looking to DIY so those suggestions are more helpful.

Answer
id just go to a salon and have them fix it...if u just got it done at a salon they will normally let u come back and they will fix it for free if u are unhappy with it...anywho..hope i helped..=)
