Help highlights for dark brown hair came out orangy blonde!!!?

I have dark brown hair. I purchased the Loreal Feria caramel blonde highlights for medium to dark brown hair. After 15 of the 30 minutes I was supposed to have it on, I caught a glimpse in the mirror. Horror! The highlights were blonde!! They were supposed to be caramel. Not only are they blonde, they are orangy.....and if I didn't get close enough to my scalp, which happened in several chuncks, my hair goes from dark brown to orange blonde. Not an attractive look. Can someone help me with this disaster. I would be happy to go back to my brown hair. Thanks all!!!

If you want to keep the hi-lights just not so light. Buy a light brown or dark blonde color from the store and put it in your hair but leave it on for "only" 15 min. %26amp; wa-la you have toned you hi-lights. Happy coloring.

The reason why you have to leave it on for 30 minutes is that bleach takes time to develop. It's taking pigment out of your hair, so that is why at 15 minutes it's orange. Usually I would not recommend highlighting your hair yourself, especially if it is a drastic change. If the fully developed color is not what you want, you might have to go to a salon to get corrective coloring done, which can be super expensive. You MIGHT be able to get away with buying a box color that is the same as your natural color and doing it at home, but depending on how "off" the highlights are, it might just do more damage than good.



Good luck!
