Removed dark Magenta! Works!
I have natural dark brown hair with deep tones of red. I've been blonde for a few years with a pixie cut, but am growing out, so used a demi brown which worked great.  When I went to saloon for a trim/shape we decided to color, and I wanted an auburn which is a natural brown with red tones. I specifically said, no magenta. $200 later I walked out with a deep red permanent magenta. :/ Lived with it a few days and still saw pink. Hated it.<br /><br />First, I tried to tone it down with non-permanent ash. Didn't do much.  I used another product called Vanish, which did remove some of the brightness but I felt it was a bit strong to do again.  Tried Salerm after researching and watching another girl on YouTube with bright magenta have success. Hers went very orange and she did it twice to lift it out and had to add another filler color.  I did a test strip, then used for only 15 minutes instead of 20. It stripped all the pink out and left the pretty auburn brown tones blending to my natural. FINALLY!  I would do a test, but I do recommend this product. I applied and left a good conditioner in for 30 min after as well, but it didn't damage hair at all. I never leave huge reviews, but it worked and I'm so grateful!
