Hair color mess up?

My moms friend has highlighted my spine 3 times now, and yesterday she did it, but it looks different. I hold drk brn hair near blonde and red highlights. I mainly want blonde beside a tad of red, but the red is kinda bright. I like it but this time it turned out really red and kinda take over the blonde. It is way bright. She said she will tone it own. What does that tight-fisted. How can I get it to look blonde again next to less red?

Answer:
She may enjoy mentioned/have in mind tally an ashy-colored "toner". Basically it's kind of a sheer (but permanent)layer of color to counteract the undesirable color. This sounds really fear-provoking, but stick with me: you know those little ripened ladies who have kinda blue-ish looking hackle? That's because they used too much toner (trying to keep their white/grey tresses from yellowing).

You want a happy milieu somewhere between Marge-Simpson-Blue and Bart-Simpson-Yellow. Believe me, I've been both of those colors and every UNhappy color surrounded by between! :-D

Dark hair go through many "brassy" shades of red & ginger & gold previously it bleaches out to "blonde". This is true of all dark hair, but especially problematic if you easily tend to have golden tones to your curls. "Toning" the highlights won't make them any lighter really, basically less red and more organic looking (hopefully).

Another option if your curls is in VERY GOOD CONDITION ONLY is to re-highlight the highlights. In other words, bleach out more color. It took me forever to infer this but a colorist that fixed my home hair color disasters a few times told me "You can't remove color next to color". Meaning, I had removed SOME color from my fuzz (the normal brownish color), the color underneath the brown be reddish brown, the color underneath that was red, next orange, after bright yellow, later yellow, later blonde, then platinum blonde, afterwards white.

So that's a really long explination to tell you that if your down looks too "brassy", you have two option: 1. "tone" the hair by adding up the opposite color (purpleish blue) to go against out the reddish-orange colors, or 2. remove more color from the hair (bleach it some more). Option 2 is other more damaging than Option 1.

GOOD LUCK!

The red surrounded by your hair will fade. Red color other fades. The red molecule contained by the color is bigger then the other colors and so it's harder for the tresses to take, which technique that it will fade quickly. So if the red is too red, bath it a few times and it will not be so bright.
