7 Fast Fixes for Hair Color Emergencies Maintaining your hair color can be a pain -- and expensive. See our quick tips to fix your hair color disasters at home by Sharon J. Yi

1 of 8 Problem: Green hair Fast Fix: Ketchup Blondes may have more fun, but not when their hair turns green. A quick dip in chlorinated water or too much sun exposure is all it takes to cause an unwanted color change. When this happens, Robinson advises a nifty homemade remedy: "Washing hair with ketchup is a simple and quick way to cancel out green tones." We know it sounds crazy, but the red from the tomatoes counteracts the green tints. And the acid helps remove minerals that caused the nasty chemical color reaction. Simply massage the ketchup into your hair with your fingertips, leave on for 20 to 30 minutes, then rinse out thoroughly with cool water. SEE NEXT PAGE: Problem: Gray roots

i thought that you will give info on how to correct each type of color disaster like, multiple color from purple hair dye or orange color after bleach. but this is quite okay.

Any tips when it comes to hair color are helpful.

Not quite what I expected to see, but good advice none the less. I thought there would be ways to correct actual coloring disaster like purple hair from an ashy blonde or hair turning nearly black from a dark blonde dye kit... guess there aren't ways to fix that aside from going to the salon...

Great tips...

Several of these are helpful, although I disagree that side-braiding your hair makes grown-out roots or highlights any less noticeable.
