Hi there,
So yesterday, I went to a salon to go from natural looking ginger hair (I had been dying it that color for 2 years) to a dark chocolate brown color, like this:
Unfortunately, it ended up a black-brown color I really despise. And I don't have the money to go back to another salon or the same one. My hair stylist tells me it'll "kind of lighten up over time" after I communicated my dislike, but there is too much black for it to just fade out.
So, today, I have decided to go to Walgreens and get ColorOops. I have used it before on bright red hair and I know that it turns it an yellow-orange gross color. And I know I have to re-dye it with a color lighter than I want.
Here is where my question is.
I really want to get the results of the picture above, but I don't know what dye to choose! I want to go with John Freida foam color (can be convinced otherwise), but I'm really unsure of what color to go for.
Should I go for Light Natural Brown
or something a bit darker, like Medium Chocolate Brown:
Help? Should I do something completely different?
Thank you so much!
