If your color comes out too dark, head to the kitchen. "Dishwashing detergent is strong enough to remove some of that color," Pemouli� says. Wash your hair two to three times with it to soften the hue. She also discourages adding another color on top of the shade because "color doesn't lift color" -- so try to fix the problem by washing.

If you've recently started experimenting with at-home color or are thinking about making the switch (in the name of saving cash), use these tips as your guide. With this expert help you can get salon-quality results in the comfort of your bathroom. So go ahead and cheat on your colorist -- with yourself! You and your wallet will be happy you did.
