You can dye it back now, as long as your going darker not lighter. Hair color does not really damage your hair, unless it has a lift in it. Going shades darker right now is fine, lighter wouldn't be. It actually helps to protect your hair and does a pretty good job at making it shinier and look healthier as well. I will warn you though, get it done professionally, at least this time...oh and the highlights will probably pull back through a little after a few washes but they will look natural and not be as light as they are now. Good luck!How long should i wait to re dye my hair(back to original color) after getting highlights which i don't like?

You should go back to the professional, but if your hell bent to dye it. Get a good brand at Target, I always get Loreal with the Feria stuff. Anyway, at least wait a week, wash your hair with PERT or PRELL which always helped me (it seems) to get rid of the colour that I didn't like. Then go to Target get a darker colour that you CAN LIVE with and dye it.





But my first choice is to go back to the Professional.
dye your brows, or go ahead and re-dye it darker. Be sure to use color-safe shampoo, and condition often to keep your hair from drying out.
If you don't like your highlights, do color your hair
you should wait about 3-4 weeks and then you can dye your hair back trust me ive dyed and high lighted my hair before! i hoped i helped you!
Do it ASAP! If you don't color your hair often, then this shouldn't cause too much damage, just put a leave in conditioner afterwards, and you should be fine.
