I had naturally dark brown hair with blond highlights. I decided to use a boxed hair-color to go back to all brown (L’OREAL 5 Medium Brown Natural) I Accidentally purchased permanent Level 3 now hair is to dark. What can I do to make it a shade or two lighter?

Try wish123 excellent resource. I post a question on the website wish123 for my health problems and received an excellent answer from a doctor.

wash it.
It starts to fade after about 8-10 washes.
If you can, just wash your hair twice a day for about 4 days or once a day for about a week.
after that, if its still too dark, buy a color one to two shades lighter than what you want.
It should lighten up.

I’m a license hairstylist. You should let it fade out. Try to use a shampoo that has a high ph. That will take some of the color out. Other way is to put highlights back in. Good luck

I have natural and have very kinky, curly hair as well. I am so familiar with this problem.Before I give you any advice about products and such I have to tell you that it takes a while for the hair to be trained and once your hair is trained then it really doesn’t matter what kind of products you use. In my opinion shampoo and conditioner is not such a big deal. I use Tresemme shampoo and conditioner, I always use a leave in conditioner, as well as a heat protector spray by Tresemme. Also, rinse with tepid water, actually as cool as you can take it, it makes the hair shine. After that I use the leave in conditioner and the heat protector spray. I try to let my hair air dry as much as possible to illuminate the amount of heat. So, then I blow dry! This is when the Super Skinny Serum comes in to play, then I use a light oil, like Hot Six. Its a liquid, this helps to lubricate the hair so that it doesn’t singe while flat ironing. Now, use a small amount of oil but for the first day it will seem a little heavy but not super heavy, you will still have major body. Always remember to wrap your hair at night with a soft/slick material so that it doesn’t pull or split. One last thing, alot of people spend macho bucks on expensive flat irons but I kid you not, I paid 15 bucks for my flat iron and it is the best one I have ever owned. I wouldn’t make it without my flat iron. It is Andis and I purchased from Walmart Actually all of the products I use can be bought from Walmart.I hope this information is helpful. Don’t lose hope and remember once you train your hair it will be almost as if you have a different texture and then it will be more manageable..For this problem I concerned this site http://www.haircareness.blogspot.com/
Good Luck!!!
