How can I fix a tragic hair coloring incident?

I'm a guy with short hair--partly graying. A solon dyed my hair a rather magenta/black color, and then used color remover within a couple of hours. The result is something of a brassy dark auburn--NOT what the doctor ordered! How can I tone this down to make it more subtle? Some gray still shows, which is good. Can I use a non-peroxide semi-permanent wash over this?

You may want to try Dawn Dish soap to try and strip any color out of four hair first. My Mom in law is a hairdresser and she said the Dawn soap will take some of the color out. You may have to wash it a few times though. I would try this 1st b/4 putting any more chemicals on your hair. Good luck.

First of all grey hair on a man is very sexy and should be left alone to impress that special lady. If you really hate it use a colour that is closest to your natural so it dosnt look treated.A semi colour will only help temperary to fix your colour now. I would suggest a permanent colour instead as close to your natural as possible and this should get rid of the reddish tones you now have. Stay away from the ash colours though as they have a greenish effect to them. Go to Shoppers or other popular drug store and talk to someone in that department as they know what colours cover up what your trying to get rid of.
