Freaked out with new hair color! Any suggestions?!?

Okay, i've had highlights in my hair for a long time, but they started growing out and i decided to get my hair died my original color at a salon. My original hair color is dark brown, but it looks black. Now i look like a goth, and am pretty miserable because this color is just not me. I wanted more of a soft brown color. Anyways, should i get highlights? Would they work on black hair and look natural? Any suggestions would be most helpful!!! Thanks!Freaked out with new hair color! Any suggestions?!?
DO NOT PANIC! All color fades, at least to some degree. Your new color is fresh and at its most vibrant peak. Give it a week and a few shampoos and it's likely to tone down more to your liking. Additionally, where your previous hightlights were may not hold the color as well as your new-growth and will fade faster. This can give your hair a more dimensional look and ease the shock.





Otherwise, if you are truly unhappy with the color, go back to your salon pro! I am sure they would never want their client to feel ';miserable'; over work they performed. Just explain how you feel and your salon pro will most likely be happy to help you conquer this issue in the safest manner for your hair.Freaked out with new hair color! Any suggestions?!?
Yah! Get lots of brown highlights so that when its all done, it will look more like u have black highlights in your brown hair! that could look very natural.

Since you said your hair almost looks black already, get light brown highlights so it wont be too harsh. The salon should have samples of different colors that you can choose from. Just don't put blonde highlights, that's too bold.





Ever seen the movie 'Van Helsing' ? Think of that woman with the brown and black curly hair.
i've seen a lot of people get burgandy highlights in black hair. maybe you could get a shade or two lighter put in.
Get more than one tone of highlights, try dark brown and a light brown, they should look good with black hair
dont worry that happened to me when i had my hair blonde it should start fading a little in a week or so try waiting a week and if its still too dark try some highlights
It's always way easier to light then it is to go back to being dark. Your highlights are going to be kicking that color out faster than you can imagine, it the salon did it too light, it would pretty much be back to blond after just a few shampoo's take some time to adjust. You always feel a little Gothic after going from light to dark, don't worry it will fade and look soft brown in no time.
omg the same happined to me i have dirty blonde hair but used to colour it a nice beachy blonde..But got sick of the regrowth the hairdresser said she could take my hair back to its natural colour but the finished look was not even close to my natural colour she made it this yucky brown!!





I think id rather put up with regrowth so next month im going to go back to my blonde.





You seem you are in the same boat..I think if your going to get highlights its going to be the same procedure as taking it bak to a nice dark brown...If its basiclly black they would have to bleach the hair and then put a brown or blonde ( whatever you want) so they have to strip the hair..So if your that unhappy you miles strip your whole head and then get your desired colour put in..





The hairdresser may say its bad for your hair..But its once it really isnt that bad!





Goodluck!
just shave it all off and go with the bald look
Since you just dyed it, it will look brighter for a while...try shampooing it twice a day and make sure to use lots of conditioner so it doesnt dry out....in time it will fade away...or you could just visit your salon and have them redye it to a softer more natural color...the one you wish for....this is the reason I do not dye my hair....havent for ten years and wont ever again......good luck!
Start washing your hair with Tidew/bleach and shampoo. wet hair in tub, don't get in, just bend down, then put a small a mount of tide in hand mix shampoo in hand with it and wash, be carfull not to get in eyes. shampoo 3 times a night rinse . then sleep with a deep cond. and shower cap on. repeat every day till the color slips. remember deep cond. very important
it will fade a little in sunlight and with shampooing
