How do I find my natural hair color again? For the past 3 years or so, I've been dying my hair every 2 or 3 months. Amazingly, my hair isn't damaged. Probably due to tons of deep conditioning. But Since June, I've been trying to get my hair back to the natural color. I've tried 3 or 4 different colors, but none of them match. They always look really close to my roots, but it's mainly cause my hair has ashy colors in it. Will I have to keep dying it to find the natural color again? Or what do I do? My hairs thinning out at the bottom. Help, please! I don't want to have inches of roots either from not dying...
How do I get my hair back to its natural color? My natural hair color is medium brown. Last year, I went to my hair dresser and colored it red for a drastic change. Since then, I've used color out of a box and I've been back to my stylist once. I am trying to get it back to brown, but every color that I use or my stylist uses goes back to red after a few weeks.I don't want to keep coloring it every few weeks. She told me that the only way to get it back to its natural color is to bleach it and then color it. Is this the only way besides letting it grow and cutting it? My hair is pretty long and I don't want to cut it and it looks really bad letting it grow on its own. Is the bleaching and coloring something I can do on my own or should I go to a stylist? Is there anything that will just take all of the color out and take it back to its natural color? Thanks.
How to remove color to get back to natural hair color? My hair is naturally drab gray. I just started coloring my hair at home over the last 9 months (after having it professionally done for the last 20 years). I want the end result of my hair color to be golden brown. I do not touch up roots in between hair coloring. I do an overall color. Each time I colored my hair, I chose a color that wasn't quite light enough. I'm ready for another coloring. My roots are drab gray, the rest of my hair looks like one solid light brown color. Since I have been using different shades of golden brown each time I color, should I use a hair color remover first to get back to my natural color and then do an overall color of a very light golden brown/blonde? Or just color my hair with the very light golden brown. I do not have different colors in my hair now, but mentally I feel like I do because of the 4 different times I've colored with a different color. Help!!!

How can I get my hair back to my natural color??? My natural hair color is balck and since feb. 2006, I have been dying my hair an ash blonde with highlights.

What hair color should I have/should I leave my natural haircolor? I am a fair-skinned girl, with light freckles and I have light blue eyes, but my natural hair color is dark brown, and from a distance it looks black. I also look like I'd have brown eyes from a distance b/c of the hair color, but ppl. when they see my eyes always comment on how light blue my eyes are. I have dyed my hair many times, and now it is finally back to my natural color, and it is fairly healthy, but I'm not sure if I should leave it or not. I'm not even sure I like it. People have told me different things, some say it looks good as this, some say to dye it darker even, some red or auburn, some say to go lighter or blonde b/c of my skin tone and eyes, and others say to just add gold highlights. My skin tone and eye color does make me look like I'd be blonde, but I'm just not sure what I should do. Based on what I told you, despite that you haven't seen me, should I dye my hair lighter or even go blonde, or red? Also, my hair is wavy, if that helps any, oh, and kind of short.

How can you remove semi-permanent hair dye without changing the natural hair color? I need some hair help- fast! My natural hair color is a medium/dark blonde, but I decided to use a semi-permanent(28 day wash out) dark red dye on it. It looked very pretty for the first two or three weeks, but then it took on this dull red-orange color. Since then, the color has stayed the same, and it's been six weeks since I dyed it. I would like to have my blonde-ness back by wednesday, because school starts back up, and I don't want to go with this odd red-orange mess. I tried one of the crystal clarifying treatments, but it barely changed the color of my hair. Since it takes nearly a year and a half to grow it out, I don't want to use bleach or another dye to make the red go away. I obviously don't have a salon license, so my choice of products is probably limited. I was wondering if there are any products that will take the dye out without changing my natural hair color at all. Thanks.

By whom I don't know, but how vindictively funny.
