What to Do If Your Hair Color Comes Out Too Dark When Dyeing It at Home

The only true way to lighten color is to remove it. Just keep in mind once that unwanted color has been removed from your hair, sometimes toners have to be added to color correct. There are color-removing products like L'Oréal ColorZap ($12) readily available at the nearest beauty supply store, but if your hair color is still not looking right, heading to a professional is probably the best option.
