How Is Hair Colour Corrected?

It can be pretty disappointing to go through the process of colouring your hair only to find out you don’t love it; or worse, that something went wrong and it’s not at all what you wanted. Take heart though because hair colour–even dyeing disasters–may be corrected. 

Dying your hair does some inevitable damage to it so correcting your hair colour is best done by a professional hair colourist in order to avoid doing additional damage. What steps need to be taken depend on the condition of your hair, how long it’s been since it was last dyed, whether it was professionally dyed or if you used hair dye from a box. Also, going darker-to-lighter is harder than lighter–to–darker so this needs to be managed properly for the best outcome.

Since colour-processing damages your hair you’ll want to wait a number of weeks before undergoing the process again. If a box dye was used the first time, it can be really hard to predict the next colour because the original dye can interfere with the next colour. If your hair is really damaged it’s best to seek professional advice. A colour-specialist may be able to save your hair by darkening the colour or toning it.
