Hey there, Im a hairdresser and you can NOT remove colour(tint or semi) WITH COLOURr. The only way you could go lighter is


a) strip it back a few shades and colour over it...if your hair is in fairly good condition this is possible without much damage.


b) gradually lighten with foils...either way BLEACH baby!!! It is the key and it is great stuff!!
Reply:You can not lift color with color. You can darken color with color but NOT lighten. You must lighten it first with bleach or color remover. Since you are not lifting much (dark to medium) you don't have to leave the bleach mixture on for long. When you rinse the bleach off it will be scary looking (orangy). Dry it COMPLETELY then apply the medium brown with a 20 or 30 volume developer. Should turn out fine. Go to professional to get the best results.

Reply:of course its possible to dye your hair to a medium brown. i don't think that you should buy the same color hair dye that you want your hair to be, maybe a few shades lighter, like a blonde color if you want a medium brown.


its always better to get it done professionally though :-)
Reply:Yes but it might not show the actual lighter color right away depending on how dark your current hair is. I had mine dyed black and when I went to the salon to get it dyed red..it took three seperate visists before it actually showed bec my hair was so dark
Reply:if you have artificial color on your hair now and you want to go lighter you cant color it again to become lighter. if you put hair color over it it will just make it darker. the only way is bleach or stripping it or letting it fade.
Reply:I recommend going to a salon to dye it, if you want better results.


You can simply just apply onto the top though it'll show
Reply:You don't have to bleach your hair to go lighter u just have to dye it the color u want.
Reply:if your not getting it done professionally, i'd get a hair dye a few shades lighter of what you want! :]
