Here's How to Fade a Too-Strong Dye Job Extra salon visits not always necessary by Heather Cichowski  |  COMMENT

PHOTO 0/8 When you're trying to achieve your hair color dreams, it's not just about the perfect shade: It's also about nailing the right tone and intensity. Now "intensity" might not be something you've thought about before... unless you were striving for cotton candy pink hair and ended up with an electric flamingo pink mane (fun times). Or, maybe you were going for a natural redhead look and got Flamin' Hot Cheeto red instead. It can happen to anyone, whether you're dyeing your hair at home or you left your hair to the hands of a professional colorist. So, what's a girl to do with a too-intense shade? Sometimes, waiting out the natural fading process just isn't an option — so is there anything you can do to remedy the situation? Going to the salon for an emergency appointment seems like a logical choice. But, you may be concerned about the potential cost and causing further damage to your freshly dyed locks. Luckily, there are other ways to fade that hair color into something that's (hopefully) closer to your original vision. Click through the gallery to see the tips to help your hair dye without causing a lot of damage. Image via Imaxtree SEE NEXT PAGE: How to Achieve the Perfect Hair Color
