Hair stylists- or anyone who knows-remedy for too blonde highlites

So I got highlights the other day and I am realizing she went way too light.
I'm really not liking them at all. WAY too bright.

I know I can go back and have her either tone them down or add in some lowlights, but I really don't have a lot of time to go back there.

Is there anything I can do at home to just tone them down a drop?
Like maybe a color depositing shampoo or something?

If not, I will have to go back, but I am just trying to avoid that and wanted to see if there was anything I could do at home.

no shampoo but you can glaze it yourself.. it's very easy to do..

what color are you wanting it to be?

i would get a toner done by a professional... I wouldnt want to add more dye to my hair right after getting the process done.

suck it up and go back to the salon if you mess it up and home you will ahve to pay to get the whole thing done again and that would really suck!

I know,. I know.

i was looking for an easy way out.

But you are right- i have to find the time to go back

It just irks me because I spent a lot of money and more importantly a lot of time- and as a full time working mom, I dont' have a lot of time for all thes appointments.

And she knew I didn't want it TOO blonde- but apparantly didn't listen!

My cousin says that if it's too bright you can wash your hair with dish soap and it will dull the color a bit the more you do it

I thought my high lights were too blonde as well, but everybody kept telling me they looked great, so I kept them & now I love them. Maybe you just need to get used to them? I'm definitely going darker for the fall though.

I'm having this issue too, hence my post about a new hair person. I'm going Thursday to a new place to hopefully make my hair look normal again. Mine is SO LIGHT, it's ridiculous!!!!!

yes hair color is a science.

even when doingssomeones hair for years...once ina while it comes out a tiny bit different....even the exact same formula.

thats why its called having a relationship with your stylist lol one that you can trust and be honest with that is.

so you can work together and alter things here and there!

just think of the rich and famous ...you better believe they are getting their hair tweaked more than you can imagine!

( i have the same formula in my hair for about 2 years now. i suppose due to hormones etc...its come out different two times! so i understand the frustration :) )
