My question isn't about sex, love or relationships this time, its about hair. But I've asked personal health questions on here before and they've been approved and answered (which I appreciate)! Ok so my natural color is light/medium brown, well I've been coloring it for several years now at home with boxes of hair color plus going to the salon. I've dyed it multiple colors but now I stick with medium brown. My only problem is every time it fades to a brassy orange color where the coloring was and then my brown roots are showing through. Overall I'd like to just let my hair grow out so I have my natural color again and I won't be damaging my hair by coloring it so much.. So is there ANYTHING AT ALL I can do, any shampoos or something maybe, that will take that brassy color out of my hair leaving it looking more brown while I let it grow out for however many months it may take? Thank you for your answers! They're much appreciated! Reply to this Question

 go to the salon and have them strip all the color out and then lay on a color that's close to your natural color
avoid over washing and chlorine..

 Go to your hair dresser and ask her to strip the dye out of your hair. Then I guess if there are still brassy tones you will just need to find a hair dye that match's your natural colour and use that until it grows out.
