How to lighten hair that has been dyed too dark. This young lady was referred to me too get her out of the super dark almost black color a previous stylist had put on her hair. She asked for a “Katie Holmes” type brunette hair color.

The person did some odd highlighting on her when all she needed was an all over hair color service not highlights. So in an attempt to “fix” the color the stylist decided to color it all super dark to cover the brassy color she put in her hair. So what I decided to do was first and foremost be gentle to the already color treated hair. Some salon people might just STRIP out the color which is basically BLEACH! That would just leave it broken and she would have brassy hair and a pixie haircut.
