What undertone is my hair? *Pic*

[Toadstool]

Anti-dandruff shampoo removes colour. It looks golden to me too.

I would call that a very dark honey blonde. So yes...definitely a golden undertone.

Level 7 - Golden Dark Blonde, or Lightest Golden Brown. If you can hold off a while, using Darkest Ash Blonde or Light Ash brown over that might work pretty well - the Light Ash Brown will be darker in tone (closer to a level 6) than what you currently have.

Maybe this thing will help you?

Okay working on first cup of java for the morning so I may be off base...but doesn't chamomile help lighten hair? Or would that put too much gold in there?

I think this color looks very pritty
Before you go for toners, have you tried hot oil treatment? It may help to remove some of the color, especially since the dye is not permanent
Also, maybe a shampoo with blue in it (like the one used to remove yellow tones from silver and white hair) can help...

What about trying a baking soda wash, shampoo, and ACV rinse?

My understanding is that the baking soda will raise your cuticle so the shampoo can wash out more of the color, then the ACV rinse brings the pH level back down again to smooth the cuticle back.

I'd definitely do more washing and give it a skosh more time before doing any more coloring. (and I also like the color -- pity it doesn't work for you!)

I second this! I used to be a trained hair colourist and was going to write almost the same thing! He he!

A demi permanent color is going to fade with time:

So why not have some patience. I wouldn't mess with other colors right now. You're probably only going to make it worse.

I have been through this same exact situation, and I have the same hair color and skin tone as you also. My natural hair is grown out nearly three inches so far, and you can barely tell there is a color difference from the semi I dyed it before (to try and match and grow out). This is what you do:

1. Get a violet shampoo for use once a week or month or whatever you'd like; that will take out any gold and red tones just fine.

2. This new color will fade considerably within the next two weeks, and I bet you'll be very happy with that color and you'll be able to keep on growing out your natural color from this just fine.

That is it! Give it time and chill, and I bet you'll love the color in a couple weeks (less than that, most likely- dye fades quick! Especially this type.)

Hope that helps a bit. You really don't need to do anything special, except get a violet shampoo or condish (which is just my recommendation, since it has worked fantastically for me), and wait a bit. That is all, seriously! And especially with growing out natural color and not dyeing anymore, etc., I have been there and done that countless times- right now too, but more determined than ever! - and the absolute best thing to do is to LEAVE IT ALONE. And you are already on the right track. I should put this in my sig: "Growing out dye or highlights? Leave it alone. That's all you have to do."
