xpost 08: NWR: DIY Haircoloring help

To save money i recently began coloring my hair and up until now it's worked out rather well....until tonight. I colored my hair what i thought was a shade lighter and it didnt come out close to what i expected. Its a bit spotty too (i didnt like this brand). My first instinct is to color it again right after work tomorrow. Can i color it (a shade darker) tomorrow or do i have to wait?? I dont want my hair to fall out but i dont know how long i can hide the spottiness!! PLEASE HELP!! Im in hair hell

This has happened to me!!! Don't worry! You can dye it again, but after you do.. don't wash your hair for like 2 days... it needs to retain its natural oils again. Good luck

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!! So obviously wash it initially afterward. Should i use shampoo at that point or no? Maybe just conditioner?? And then i wont wash it til saturday.

I would use the stuff that they give you in the box, or a small amount of mild shampoo with alot of conditioner... and easy on the heat styling. You'll be fine though

You can color your hair tonight after work..it will not fall out. Try not to use something that says 'ash' in it because it will enhance the red tones (or spots) that you have in your hair now. Hope I helped!
