PLEASE RESPOND!!!!!!!! Ok so heres my story in a nut shell. I naturally have medium brown hair, but over the years I've done lots of blonde highlights and different lightening things. Now I want to go back to being an all over brunette but maybe alittle darker brown shade than my natural color. MY QUESTION is: If I just got highlights again in blonde, and I use a SEMI-PERMANENT hair dye will the highlights turn a diff. color than the rest of my unhighlighted hair. I'm hoping it will so I can get my money's worth still, and it won't be a total waste of money. Also, has anyone ever used semi-permanant that lasts a month, and what brands do you suggest for a first timers who's never dyed all their hair? thanks girls!!!!!  :D

I'm in the same boat as you are- I have highlighted hair that I would like to go back to my natural colour.  Sorry I don't have any advice, though!  I don't know what to do, either.  I've thought about henna, later on down the line.  I'm just growing mine out now, with two-toned hair. But that's no help to you.  I would got to a salon and see what they suggest, to get you through it with the least damage. Sorry I'm no help!

Be careful because high-lighted hair can be very pourous and you can end up with something you don't want. You can go to a salon and have them color it or you can use Natural Instincts 06 Linen but don't mix it like the instructions say. Mix 1 oz shampoo, 1 oz developer, and 1 oz color.Apply to damp hair and keep it on for 5-10 min.  This makes a glaze and will tone down your highlights. It really works well I just did it 2 weeks ago because my hair was getting too blonde from high lights. Good luck!

It's tricky. It's very likely that coloring your hair back to your natural color will turn your highlights green or greenish-gray. You could color them red in order to counteract this effect, but perhaps you should get it done professionally.
