Will my hair dye fade, or should I pay to correct it?

I have dark brown hair and have been getting blond highlights for about a year. I am on vacation and wanted my hair to be back to my normal color, so I went to a hair dresser who I'd never been to before. She dyed my hair a shade darker than my natural hair color so that it's a very very dark chestnut brown, bordering on purple. When I left the salon I realized the color was way too dark, and now I'm freaking out. Today I washed my hair and it's an ugly brown-black mess. Will the dark brown dye fade? How long will it take to get back to my natural color? Is there anything I can do to expedite the process? I have no problem waiting a week for it to look like my natural dark brown, but if it's going to take much longer than that I might want to pay to get it fixed although I really can't afford to do that...

Thanks for any help!

you should go to a reputable salon and ask for a color correction specialist. it may cost you, but nothing is worse than a bad dye job. good luck!

Clairol company has a staff who can advise on how to fix hair coloring gone wrong. They have a toll free number. You can Google them, or go to the drugstore and look on a hair color box for the number. The color will fade and lighten over time, but won't return to natural color until the dye is all cut off. Best deal is to save and go to a trusted professional for correction. Don't over shampoo, but do keep moisturized. Dyed hair tends to become too dry.
