Glad it has toned down a bit for you. I was simply going to suggest that with some makeup your hair will look quite striking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-dark-1#post-836963 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 06:11:39 +0000 Hil 836963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok - crisis averted, I think... I gave it two washes with the dish washing liquid (as per the link above) and that lifted the colour a little and it is not quite as harsh on me as it was before. Phew! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-dark-1#post-835940 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:18:58 +0000 Anonymous 835940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It really brings out your beautiful eyes. I used to dye my hair that colour and I found after a couple of washes it really looked better and less flat. I think there is always extra colour deposited and once it sits and oxidises for a bit it lookes more multi-toned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-dark-1#post-835937 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:16:48 +0000 Suz 835937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wait a bit -- in a few washes you may feel more comfortable. From what I can tell, I actually like it. But you must feel comfortable, and there's no doubt that a slight change in colour can feel very different to the one wearing it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-dark-1#post-835863 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 12:47:10 +0000 Anonymous 835863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Ruth said. You cannot dye lighter on top of dark. was the color permanent? I do like it though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-dark-1#post-835858 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 12:42:57 +0000 jayne 835858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It will lighten a bit also after a few washes....mine always do when I do home coloring </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-dark-1#post-835797 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:45:59 +0000 Hil 835797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmm - I just read this... <a href="http://www.totalbeauty.com/content/gallery/p_haircolor_tips/p26112/page14" rel="nofollow">http://www.totalbeauty.com/con.....112/page14</a> </p> <p>I may try that before I do anything else! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-dark-1#post-835785 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:07:23 +0000 rute 835785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a bit dark, it's black.<br /> I had the same problem with home coloring, all colors looked black on me.<br /> It's too dark to re-paint, the paint won't show. Maybe you should go to an hairdresser. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-dark-1#post-835769 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:13:03 +0000 lyn67 835769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cannot advise you on the effects of a possible recoloring, but even if blonde, I can totally relate to your feelings, ever so slight difference in my hair colours is completely changing my skin colouring-and then, find so hard to make it work with my existing clothes.<br /> BTW, one of our forum member, Sveta, was experiencing the same thing when going accidentaly from dark brown to black-but ended up to love it, so I vote give you some time, maybe it's growing on you!<br /> We all know, colour will fade by time, but you can allways play with some make up for softening or accentuating the contrasts given between your new hair and your lovely face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-dark-1#post-835748 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 08:20:36 +0000 Hil 835748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I colored my hair two days ago and I used a very dark brown instead of the deep red brown that I normally use... </p> <p>Gosh it's dark!! It's changed my skin tone completely! </p> <p>Now I'm wondering whether putting a different colour over this dark brown will have any effect or will it just be absorbed into the darkness? </p>
