Hair Colourant Advice

[thriller]

Hi,

Just looking for a bit of advice please.

My friend has black hair and would like to change the colour to dark/medium brown.

She has tried a lot of different colourants from chemists but all came out too dark.

What colour should she try, Clairol, L'oreal etc any advice

Many Thanks.

hey there,
ok colour won't lift out colour so its either off to the hairdressers with her or let the colour fade,try using head and shoulders to strip some out and then try a medium brown??

I've heard that washing your hair once a week with fairy liquid strips it lightly. I've done it a few times myself when I was trying to get rid of 2 years black and it definitely had some sort of effect. Worth a go and didn't do any damage to my hair at all.

I just bought Head and Shoulders to do that exact thing before I dye it again! How long would you need to use it or washing up liquid before you see any difference?
