Have you ever tried to color your hair at home and it did not turn out the way you thought it would? If so, you are not alone because it happens to more people than you might think. There are some ways that you can easily correct the problem.

If you have colored your hair at home and is not happy with the way it turned out there are some ways that you can correct it.

• If your hair turned out too dark or too bright for your taste you can wash your hair with baking soda to tone down the color. Mix equal amounts of shampoo and baking soda to do this. Make sure you use baking soda and not baking powder. Use the mixture to wash you hair at least three times and allow it to stay on your hair each time for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse the shampoo from your hair using 2 parts hot water and 1 part baking soda. The dye will stream from your hair as you are rinsing.


• Purchase a hair color correction kit from a beauty supply store. Follow the instructions that are included in the kit. Some drug stores may also sell the kit.


• Head and Shoulders Dandruff shampoo is great to use to fade coloring from your hair. Use it to shampoo your hair at least three times and allow it to remain on your hair for at least ten minutes each time you shampoo. The color of your hair will get lighter each time you shampoo it.
