My hair color is too dark

| Is there something I can do to lighten my hair a bit? I wanted it to be med. brown, but it is dark brown. I had it done at a salon last week because the highlights had grown out and I was getting lots of gray. The stylist said that as I wash it, it will lighten - well, I want it lightened right away. Any suggestions on something I can do myself? Thanks! |

| It may help to use a clairifing shampoo. |

| I would get a couple highlights done. Dont get a lot that are very noticable but a couple highlights will lighten your hair right up. |

| It will lighten a lot after a few shampoos, if you can't stand it and don't want to wait a week, try 3 shampoos in a row, wash rinse, repeat, 3 times, to accelerate the lightening effect. It worked for me a few years ago when the stylist went too dark for the base. |

| A hot oil treatment will strip off some of the excess pigment. |

| I've heard of using Tide, believe it or not... I'm actually in the same predicament myself... I'm going to pick up some Prell or something harsh like it, and try that. |
