Consultation: The first step is to consult with a professional hair colorist who can assess the current condition of your hair and determine the best course of action for correction. The hair stylist will ask about your desired outcome and discuss realistic expectations.

Analysis: The colorist will analyze your current hair color, including any previous dye jobs, natural hair color, and any underlying tones. it helps the hair stylist understand what needs to be corrected and how to get the best results.

Strand Test: Before proceeding with any major color correction, a strand test may be conducted to see how your hair will react to the new color and to ensure that the desired shade can be achieved without damaging your hair.

Color Removal: If the incorrect color needs to be removed or lightened, the colorist may use color removers or lightening agents to strip away the unwanted color. This step can be particularly tricky and may require multiple treatments, depending on the intensity of the current color.

Color Adjustment: Once the unwanted color is removed or lightened, the colorist will then apply the correct color to achieve the desired shade. This may involve using multiple shades or techniques such as foiling, balayage, or ombre to create dimension and depth.

Toning: After the desired color is achieved, a toner may be applied to neutralize any unwanted tones or brassiness and to enhance the overall color result.

Conditioning: Throughout the color correction process, it's important to nourish and condition the hair to minimize damage and maintain its health and shine. Deep conditioning treatments may be applied before, during, and after the coloring process.

Maintenance: Once the color correction is complete, the colorist may recommend specific hair care products and techniques to help maintain the color and keep your hair healthy between salon visits.
