Just used 8a medium ash blonde and it's darker than indicated. How long do I need to wait before I can re-colour with a lighter one or diff brand?

Depending on the condition of your hair, you could recolor right away. If your hair is very dry or over-processed, it would be best to wait 4 to 6 weeks.

You might want to wait a couple of weeks to see if the color fades just a bit, otherwise, depending on the condition of your hair, you can recolor any time. I usually color my hair at 5/6 weeks.

I have to color every 5 weeks like clockwork because of my roots. I used John Freida 4R (brown/red). It took me a long time trial and error to find this brand. All the other ones would fade or turn really dull or brassy.

That's actually what I did when I bought mine, I am not an expert, but I kind of had a little blonde left from the last time and brightened the very ends with the manic panic flash. It worked, but be sure to use brightening shampoo or the recommended brightening toner with this or your hair does get dark and brassy again. Other than that, works great.

I have dyed medium brown hair (natural color is light blonde) and this made a small difference. I left it on for about 30 minutes. It just doesn't show up as well on darker hair, unfortunately.

This was the first item I ordered from them.I have light to medium brown hair and the first time I ordered the fawn & felt it was too dark for me so I ordered the blonde and like it. I have been ordering right off their site now because I love their products. I really like the powder, very light & soft feeling. Hope this helps.

If you have dyed your hair black in the last four months I wouldn't recommend using this. If it has been over four months then sweet it will be amazing. You will however need to do your hair two times in order to achieve a full and even color. Red does however wash out quickly! ! It goes into an orange color within about 8 weeks. You will only want to wash your hair once or twice a week in very cold water with clear (sulfate free) shampoo as well as conditioner. Red hair should always be dry before you fall asleep because it will rub off on EVERYTHING. I had my hair this bright red color for about 7 months and it costed me around 300.

It got out some but not all the brass from dark blonde so would be similar for light brown. I am going to try T18 because I still have a lot of yellow.

The color that I purchased did not bleach my hair. I normally use a Med Ash Blonde hair color. But the Dream Blonde gives you a nice medium blonde.

I use H60. I leave it on for 25 minutes to get the golden blonde. It gets lighter the longer you leave it on. If you left it on the whole 35 minutes, it will be a whiter shade of blonde.

I always color my hair (L'Oreal - Medium Ash Brown) but I time it so that they are a week apart. I do it this way upon the advice of my stylist. Since I color my hair every 3 weeks, I've colored it before and after a treatment but It doesn't seem to matter in which order I've done both processes. I don't think it effected how long the treatment lasted and coloring definitely did not dry my hair out.

My hair color was almost dark brown (between dark blonde and dark brown), and I've been using for 5 months and I'm almost blonde now.. Sometimes it looks a little bit like red, but depends on the light. It will work, but I'm a little concerned about what color would turn, since the product says that dark hair will turn a little bit red and not blonde.

Honestly I think you may have to play around with it to find the right one. I bought natural and it was a little too dark, you can always buy a lighter shade to mix with one that's too dark. Your best bet is to go to a store and actually hold one to your skin before you order online. Also try the Loreal website

Yes, and as my aunt always says (she's been a stylist for over 25 years), if you have darker hair, go 2 shades lighter than what you're looking for. The color on the box is what you'd get if you started with bleached hair. If your hair is brown, just be careful if you have roots that are a different color, you may end up with different shades of blonde that don't blend well. I'd probably also not recommend a warm blonde over dyed brown hair, as the result could come out brassy or orangey. Stick to cool, ash blondes, but know that it may take a couple times before you can really get your hair to lighten the way you want it to. Please note I am also speaking from experience (I've been dying my hair the gamut of colors for 15+ years), but am not a trained professional. I'm sure you will get more qualified answers, but I hope this helps a little...

I am blonde with a medium completion and I always use the medium/dark tan towel, and I love them. My friend is very similar to your colour and she uses the same one as me, and it looks great on her. Yes, I would say use the medium/dark. I's a fantastic colour.

You should be able to use it as is. My hair is a darker brown so it came out a deeper darker burgundy that what is shown here. if your hair is a medium blonde you should get the results shown on the picture. Mine also may be darker because I left it in overnight. The longer you leave it on, the darker/more developed the color will be. Good luck.

Light Ash is good for hair color that is blond to a very light brown/dishwater blond. My husband was very blond as a child but his hair color darkend a bit as he got older. Light Ash works perfect for him and we only leave the color on for 5 minutes. Blends well with the gray and looks very natural and subtle.

well i know mine ran lighter then i thought they should have, i got the midnight brown and they were still pretty light so i had to darken them but look at this web page http://www.chic-steals.com/2011/04/wigs-com-5-day-sale-get-your-own-clip-in-bangs-for-25-off.html the chick on there has strawberry blond hair and wrote a review on the bangs using the color "R29S" check it out and see if her hair is similar in color to yours hoped that helped
