Hey everyone! I just did something stupid and I need to vent/ask for help haha. I dyed my hair with La Riche Directions Cerise about 1,5 week ago. I had copper hair so it faded to a bright pinkish red, which actually was really nice! But today I decided I wanted it to be more purple again. The saleslady adviced me to try blue instead of purple, because it would cancel out the red. I wasn't entirely sure about it (and neither was she haha) but I tried anyway. As soon as I put it on my hair, I realized I made a mistake. So I rinsed it out immediately!!
However, it did stain my hair and it's now a lot darker. I have already washed it again (with lemon juice and baking soda and all that drying stuff!) and it doesn't rinse out anything blue anymore, only pink. But, my hair is still a lot darker!! And it's now a dull brown/purplish red but not at all pretty :( And it's a lot darker, while I carefully lightened my hair bit by bit throughout the months.
Anyway, I wanted to try purple now because I have a week off and I'm going on holiday so it would be a nice period to try something bright without 1. hassle at work and 2. it would look nice at the pictures :D
But now it's so dull and dark and brownish and ugly! :( I want to get rid of it a.s.a.p. but without doing much damage, of course. I just hate myself so much at the moment, I can't stop looking into a mirror every 5 minutes to see if it's gotten any lighter :( But what would be the best thing to do right now, except for leaving it alone? Should I try a soap cap or something? Or wait how it will look like in daylight and just get some purple Directions (like Plume?) and try that so it will at least have a nice pretty purple glow and then just wait for weeks till most of it is gone? :o
Can't really post a picture now since it's not entirely dry yet and it's dark outside.. I know, I know, not the best moment to judge but I can already see it's TONS darker :/
I'm so angry with myself because well, red and blue is bound to get brownish I guess :P It's just stupid! Oh well, it's not like the colour right now is HORRIBLE, but it was so so much prettier before :( I just needed to get this off my chest, haha, I know this is the right place to vent about this! It's not the end of the world, I know!

Will it ever get back to that with just a lot of washing? Will it take months? Should I just do a soap cap or something? :/
