    I grabbed the wrong box of Loreal Preference permanent hair color - but of course didn't notice. Last night I did the deed - the dreaded 2 hour process, which was long over due. I have been pulling my hair through a cap and adding light red to mousy brown hair for 20 years (the ends fade to blonde when it's time to re-do and the roots are grown out - but it ends up looking like highlights once you are done - kind of like reverse frosting). So instead of #7 light auburn, I ended up with intense copper red - which over took all of my hair color. My hair is is great condition, and I really didn't want to use a color remover, or go through the process again with an ash color only to be left with ash and burgundy colored hair - not seemly for a 45 yr old woman. So I thought what the heck - try the vitamin c/shampoo first and see what happens. I was really burgundy - so I added a boost of lemon juice and wrapped in saran and left in on for 1.5 hours. The unveiling was fabulous!!! I am so thrilled that I didn't have to ruin the condition of my hair to get back to looking like me. Thank you all - especially experienced gals for posting your results!! Happy Hair!

    • What additional affect did the lemon juice have in addition to the vitamin c/shampoo? Thanks!
