HELP!! How to fade red hair dye asap!?

I had my hair done today and my hairdresser put way too much red in it and it's so bright! I know red fades quickly, but i really would like to make it a bit more subtle by tomorrow when i go to work!! Any suggestions of home-remedies that i could try out tonight please?? Thanks so much! P.S. I've tried the anti-dandruff shampoo method but it didn't really do much to tone it down.HELP!! How to fade red hair dye asap!?
DON'T strip your hair by yourself!!! try hot water first. use a volumizing or clarifying shampoo. you can also try to crush a tablet of vitamin c into shampoo and leave it on for about 5 min. when you color your hair with permanent color, it chemically changes the color of you natural hair. were you to try and strip the red out yourself, you could end up with a funny-looking spotted orange colorHELP!! How to fade red hair dye asap!?
PLEASE! call your hairstylist immediatly,...he or she will be more than happy to fix the situation. Do not use over the counter products.. the box does not have a brain, and does not know what you are trying to make it do.


Please call your hairstylist.
is it permenant?


shampoo ur hair about 5 times and then condition it last.


when i mean shampoo i mean shampoo then leev for 10 minutes then do it again!
wash it a couple of times and blast dry it with the hairdryer, that should fade it.... my highlighst always fade after a wash and blowdry :(
I've heard you have a 24-48 hour window to lighten the dye via washing. I've also heard if you use Dawn dishwashing liquid that it helps. GOOD LUCK!
Wash your hair in hot water asap. Red hair fades quickly on its own and washing makes it fade even faster. Good luck.
TONER- AVAILABLE AT BEAUTY SUPPLY
Try John Frieda brunette glossing lotion. This will definitely calm down the redness.
Seriously, it will fade quickly. It probably doesn't look THAT bad, you're just not used to it.





Get up and shower in the morning, it will already be duller. Trust me! I bet it looks great!
Put a dark brown dye over the whole lot.
Dish soap. My beautician taught me this. Use dawn or something like that and condition well.
Dish soap and then use conditioner.
I did this once and my stylist told me to use TIDE detergent WITHOUT Bleach additive.


It took a few days but it was all gone so try it and it will tone it down.


Don't use it more than 2 times and condition VERY WELL inbetween shampoos.
get a hair stripper from your local drug store
What worked best for me was I used a shampoo that strips your hair of oils and such, it fades the color.


Its like a detox for the hair.


Or you can just wash it a lot. With regular shampoo.
Word of advice from a 90's grunge hair dyer (I have had every color of hair and combination of colors from Hot Topics). If you try to fade red to fast it will give your hair and orange tint. Your lucky that red is the fastest hair color to fade, so if you wash your hair everyday for a about a week it should be toned down.
Red is actually the hardest color to get rid of.
Washing your hair in really warm water helps open p the cuticles and release some color. So does blow drying your hair.





Good Luck!
shave it off and get a wig with the color you want until your hair grows back
A strong clarifying shampoo, wash it several times and leave it on each time, then leave a treatment conditioner on too. If you don't have any clarifying shampoo try washing-up liquid a couple of times - it sounds strange but the detergents are what you need to help fade to colour, again, put a treatment on afterwards if possible.





Hopefully that should help take the edge off the glaring red, good luck.
to be honest the best way is washing it with really hot water and when i say wash i mean really wash it for a good ten Min's and repeat a few times trust me this will work
You dont really want to fade it too much as it will probably go a burnt orange colour or an even worse red. If you can, use a bit of washing up liquid in your shampoo and then go and buy a FLAT brown from somewhere. This means you want something with no tone in it to try and cover as much red as possible.You will probably still have some red shining through but it will look more of a nice deep red. Try not to put a lighter shade over it as this will do nothing, you need to get a darker one. You wont have to worry about your hair going green or anything as the red would have already prepigged it. Hope this helps x
just keep washing with any mild shampoo an make sure you condition when you feel happy with colour honestly don't get stripper after you must off spent a lot of money getting it done washing it all to night will tone the colour down ....
Keep washing! Red dyes fade fast and that is because hair is pourous and the chemicals in red dye have a hard time staying onto the hair.
They have hair dye removal/fading things that you can buy at a drugstore or grocery store. It would be in the same section as the normal hair dyes are. I have used them before and they work wonderfully but they are kinda hard on your hair. Also, though they say ';hair dye removal'; they really only fade it it doesnt remove it compeltely. If you are only looking to fade it slightly than they have shampoos that are specialized to do just that. These are also sold at any drugstore and probably more selection at a beauty store or hair salon. Good luck!
clarifying shampoo
Dont worry... A couple months ago I had my hair dyed and it was so red that every time I caught my reflection I thought I was bleeding from my scalp. But in a few days it toned down and I ended up dying it that color for 3 months!





It should be a bit more subtle by tomorrow... But I've heard that lemon juice has lightening qualities... But for red hair... that might be a bad thing!





Try super-hot water... or hot extra virgin olive oil.





It should fade after rinsing a few times in hot water. Hope that helps, good luck!
