where am i going wrong with hair dye?

Question

I have light brown hair, shoulder length. In the past i had blond highlights. Hairdresser dyed it all back to my natural colour (8 wks ago). However i have noticed that root area has reddy brassy tones (old highlights under neath i think) so bought a dark brown semi perm and dyed my hair.
However the ends are lighter than the roots ? why is this? should i have put it on the ends first ? The top is dark and ends lighter brown i wanted it all dark. Any ideas where i am going wrong? Also hairdresser just put it all on at the one time but hers was even?

Answer 1

the heat from your scalp wouldve developed the colour quicker. put dye on your lenghts and ends first for 5 mins or so.

Answer 2

with a dark brown dye it shouldnt matter, but if you are finding this it may be a good idea to do the lengths first and the roots for the last 5 or 10 mins.

good luck
