Hi Paul, I really don't know but you might try putting a little proxide, water and shampoo in a squirt bottle and putting it on your hair. Wait about 20 minutes and see if it evens it out. If that doesn't work call a hair dresser and scream "HELP"

I know this is old, but for other people who may have this issue, try mixing crushed vitamin C with head and shoulders to make a paste. Apply to your head, cover with a plastic bag, leave it on for an hour, and then rinse for at least 10 minutes (necessary). Your hair may turn orangeish, but you can redye. I got out blue manic panic this way.

Do you have color treated hair? If so, the temporary color might stay in longer. It did this to me, but it did eventually wash out. Maybe swiping a cotton ball in hydrogen peroxide might take the color out. I haven't tried that, but maybe it would work. Try it on an inconspicuous place first to make sure it doesn't do anything strange, first.

Have you tried to shake it? I heard the brown is from the fragrance segment. Please shake and see if it makes any difference. :)

My hair is definitely not black either but it is dark brown. You may want to order a can and just see what it looks like. It does wash out if it is the wrong color.

I didn't have this problem. Maybe you didn't leave the dye on long enough or didn't apply it correctly to the roots. Since one other reviewer also had your problem, you should contact the manufacturer, since there must be a difference in hair types.Ursula Behrens

I used the light brown from the Henna Guys over my red henna hair and it turned out black. The colors are misrepresented. There is too much indigo powder in the browns and your hair will be black and there is no way to remove it. I tried Prell, Head and Shoulders shampoo, which are very harsh and usually strip color from hair. I applied 100% pure henna 3 days apart for 4 hours each time and finally noticed a tiny reddish tone. Customer service rep told me the colored packets like light brown and medium brown which I also ordered should never be used over henna hair and it was my mistake. They advised me to go to a salon or wait for it to grow out; hardly solutions to the problem. I used the light brown from the Henna Guys over my red henna hair and it turned out black.

I've done it once it gave me a dark violet color looked like grape soda. I would leave it in for about 25 min in the hair then wash out. I recommend doing a tiny section first then see a little result.

Same answer as Sheli. I have to scrub it with soap and a washcloth or loofa multiple times because I make mine very thick and dark. Good luck.

I have the same issue. If I use enough to get it to stay, I have issues with the white clumps showing up. If I use a small amount, it doesn't hold well enough. Thinking of trying a different brand, or maybe a darker color that will match my 'stache better.

Hold the center while you blow dry it and stretch it, because if you start with the right or left side it'll wrinkle quick. Or you could cut the shape of it and then start in the center! That worked well for me on my secound try.

Not sure how to answer. Try going in a different direction. Make sure your skin is dry and the hair is long enough to grab.

When this happens to me, I carefully take a brown permanent sharpie or brown non sparkly eyeshadow. I carefully dab either on swiping w/ a towel where my seams show also in the part. It makes for a much more realistic looking, if you get it to dark you won't be happy, but dark enough to cover. There are probably tutorials on how to make roots on youtube. I buy expensive wigs w/ gradient roots, I think it looks more realistic. Hope that helps!

Use some dye in your conditioner when you condition; that'll keep the color fresh.

Yes you would need to blech your hair again since this is permanent color. You can also try Satin color remover.

Try soaking head in 10% solution vinegar and hot water. If that doesn't work try 10% solution of bleach. Be sure to rinse well. Should clean head back to new

I use a little bit with my normal shampoo every time I wash my hair, which is every other day if I can help it. I have had a friend say that it dried her hair out, so make sure to properly condition (I'm not a hair stylist or anything, but that's what I would do!)
