Very often it is home experiments with staining that end in failure. And okay if you just missed the color. This can still be experienced with dignity. But what if the hair has become completely different shades along the entire length? The most obvious advice is to entrust the work on errors to professionals. This will give a guaranteed result. However, you can try to do something at home with your own hands.
- Paint again. To lighten up the second time is better not, but trying to overlap the bad color with a darker one is not a bad idea.
- Wash your hair with a tinted shampoo. Choose a shade slightly darker than the darkest color on your hair, so you will more likely achieve uniformity. Important: shampoos do not harm the hair and are quickly washed off, it is quite suitable as an emergency remedy!
- You can find advice on the forums to try folk remedies: honey, chamomile, lemon and kefir. A mask made with these ingredients is said to help if you have blonde hair or your blonde dye didn’t quite go as you hoped.
Attention! On the Web, you can often find recipes for a magic hair mask made from onion peel, which supposedly evens out any color at a time, and improves the condition of the hair. Perhaps this tool really works, but the reviews of those who risked trying the folk recipe are sad: the persistent smell of onions can remain on the hair for months … In general, even popular home know-how can turn out to be someone’s cruel joke, and life hacks tested by others are just you won’t work. Therefore, in order not to resort to the last resort – a haircut – it is better to contact a beauty salon. Stylists now have a ton at their disposal professional tools, allowing you to quickly and without harm to your hair to achieve the color you intended.
Lighting at home, it often gives an unpredictable result, especially if the hair has already been dyed before. Hairdressers have been learning the correct bleaching technique for years, so it is not surprising that they can achieve the desired shade on their own very hard… And if it didn’t work out on one occasion, then it is better not to injure your hair and not go right there for the second run.
For a competent master in the salon, such a move would have done without consequences, and at home, the risk of completely ruining the hair without achieving the desired color is too great.
It is better to try to even out hair color after lightening with gentle methods.
- Direct pigments act very delicately. A mask is suitable as a base Vitamino Color from L’Oreal Professional, its antioxidant formula takes care of damaged hair from unfortunate bleaching. Choose the pigments to your taste: purple PowerMix neutralizes yellowness, copper will enhance the too pale copper shades of a red-haired blonde, and gold will add a sunny warm nuance to a beige blonde.
- Correction in the salon on boosters will not hurt Mix Factory: they are mixed with caring bases and slightly change the shade of the hair.
- Tint care Chromatic touch from Kerastase: care cream in violet shade neutralizes unnecessary yellowness on blond hair.
- Some advise honey mask: 200 g of honey should be mixed with a decoction of chamomile and the juice of two lemons and left overnight. Use a plastic cap and towel. Here, however, our experts do not recommend blindly following the advice: honey is a very strong allergen, and you can get an allergic reaction along with the new color!
- They say that kefir can help correct the result of unsuccessful brightening. True, in order to finally even out the hair color, you will have to make masks with this fermented milk product more than once. There are many recipes for such care, but the most effective, according to the assurances of Internet advisors, are with lemon and cognac. Half a glass of kefir is mixed with one tablespoon of brandy and the juice of half a lemon. Keep on hair for at least an hour. And if kefir is almost harmless to health, then what about citrus and alcohol? Our experts say “no” to these funds!
Have you fixed the error? Great, now do not forget to consolidate the result with the help of well-chosen home care that does not give your hair unwanted shades. The whole range Blondifier from L’Oreal Professional fits perfectly: preserves the hair structure, smoothes the cuticle, gives blond hair a bright, beautiful shade and does not weigh it down.
Do you have dark hair, and you also did not guess with the color, or did the result disappoint you, to put it mildly? Don’t worry, you can fix the situation, and now we’ll tell you how!
Washing off the color is an event that it is better not to try to carry out on your own, but to entrust it to professionals. At home, the result of such a procedure often looks like a parody of a fashionable ombre: from nowhere, the shades that came from pass one into another in the most unexpected way. In this case, you can try to return everything as it was and dye your hair a little darker than the darkest shade left on your hair. But it is better not to go to extremes and immediately go to the salon: they will do everything competently, beautifully and painlessly for your hair. In line Studio Blond from L’Oreal Professional there are bleaching pastes Platinum and Platinum Plus, allowing you to quickly and safely lighten hair up to seven tones. And if your master works on products Matrix, ask him to use powder Light Master with a bonder that strengthens the keratin matrix of the hair shaft.
It is not always possible to correct unsuccessful home staining and especially lightening. If we understand that the hair is already so damaged, we can only suggest painting it darker or cutting it off.

If dyeing in a dark tone failed, and the hair along the entire length turned out to be different colors (this happens if the hair was discolored before), then you can try Kérastase Touche Chromatique tint care… It is there for dark hair too: copper and red shades enhance the color, helping to bring your hair palette to the same denominator. In the event that your cold brown-haired clearly failed and casts reddish or red shades, a cold one is suitable for tone correction Chromatic touch – it neutralizes redhead. Shampoo works similarly Dark Envy from Matrix… By the way, colorists in salons use a more concentrated product – a mask Dark Envy, in just 10 minutes, she will return an exquisite cold nuance to the strands.
In the salon, the problem will be solved quickly, correctly toned hair in the desired shade. So, the brand Redken there is a tinting dye-gloss Shades EQ Gloss without ammonia, which also acts as a care. After it, your hair will be even better than it was before dyeing! Toning dyes act similarly. Matrix Color Sync and L’Oreal Professional Dia, so it’s easy and simple to fix mistakes at home experiments with professional palettes.


Often the root of the problem of uneven hair color is in the root itself. More precisely, in the roots. New dye often does not apply as it should, on this previously unpainted part of the hair.


An improperly selected shade of paint or a dye that is too weak may not work on overgrown roots. In such cases, it is recommended to first apply the dye to the roots, and after 20 minutes to the remaining length of the hair.
If your roots are darker than desired when lightening, this means that you have chosen the wrong shade or did not follow the paint application technique. In this case, the hairdresser will help to achieve a uniform color: he will select safe dye and distributes it correctly through the hair.
Advice: if your roots are darker than the rest of the hair length because you are trying to grow your natural color, then ask your master to dye you using the ombre technique: a smooth transition from dark to light will allow you to look well-groomed in the difficult period of returning to naturalness.
When dyeing and bleaching, I recommend using L’Oréal Professionnel Smartbond, a special product that protects hair during the dyeing process, whether it is regular dyeing, lightening or toning. It protects the keratin bonds during the coloring process so that the hair is not damaged. It is especially important to use this product with frequent color changes. Smartbond includes three phases: the first portion is added to the dye, the second is applied to the hair after coloring to consolidate the result, and the third phase is home care, which is used instead of a mask or conditioner.

Of course, the range of care should be only for colored hair, because after frequent dyeing, the hair retains the color worse. Additionally, there are tint treatments: for example, Redken Blondage and Redken Brownlights for brunettes and for blondes… For blondes in the line Serie Expert from L’Oreal Professional also has a gamut Blondifierwith shampoo for shine, shampoo with pigment for neutralization of yellowness and a mask with special toners, which are added depending on the color of the blonde. You can find out about all the secrets of this range here.
