Question
My original hair color is medium brown. I died my hair with Nice'n east color blend, medium brown with mahogany highlights. It turned almost black with red. I redied with Garnier Nutrisse medium natural brown,it didn't help.  What can I do at home to restore my natural color?  

Answer
Chritine,
Unfortunately you have a problem. I assume you would like to go back to your med brown with no red.
But to get out that black would require using a litner or bleach which would leave your hair redder or oranger.
Your natural color be restored.
If you mistakenly made your hair too light then we might have a chance restoring your natural.
Only thing i mite suggest short of seeking out a professional is go to the beauty supply and ask for a color remover like Effasol. follow the instructions CAREFULLY.
Sorry i couldnt be of more help.
