Hair Dye turned my hair BLUE!

I'm confused as to why everyone is so upset. This color is supposed to
be somewhat blue. Starry Night is the color.. Since when is the sky
ever black?

Starry Night is supposed to be dark Blue

Then there is the L'oreal Feria Midnight blue which is violet... It's
supposed to dark purple bordeline black.

Under NO CIRCUMSTANCE ARE THESE MEANT TO BE 100% BLACK!

THE LIGHTER YOUR HAIR, THE MORE THE BLUE AND VIOLET WILL SHOW!!!

I MEAN DUH!! SERIOUSLY, DUUUUUH!

I have always dyed my hair black and had no problem untill I used this
product. I have used other products and this never happened. I have
natural dark brown hair and I am never using this product again

I just dyed my roots with Loreal Starry Night - The box said black not
blue. My hair turned out a blue disaster as well !! To the
"hairdressers" who commented. Not everyone is taking cosmotology and
knows what a coool color is... Im take physiology and I wouldnt expect
you to know anatomy. Loreal should be more thorough with the
information provided on their box products.

1) Before dyeing your hair, *do some research* on how dye works. It is
your fault, for not doing your homework properly. Dyes are not magical
levelling treatments; they work differently on different hair colours.
A blue-black is just a very strong, deep BLUE dye. As long as your
hair isn't too light, that blue is near invisible to a human eye -
just like how on the other side of the dye spectrum, dyed silver hair
is just a blue so pale, you can't see it as blue.
All dyes are semi-transparent, and they show up as their true colours
on a white background, rather like coloured cellophane. Of course your
grey streak went blue. I repeat, dye is not a magical levelling
treatment.

By 'not predominantly grey', it means 'a few grey hairs mixed in with
the rest'. A grey streak counts as a patch which is predominantly
grey. If you really want it done properly, go to a salon. Leave DIY to
people who actually understand dye, and don't mess around with it if
you don't know what you're doing.

2) The fact that you had a blue streak is damn cool, in my opinion!
It's a bit of a shame you went to get it fixed. People would have
thought you were so daring and awesome.

I just dyed mine, and rinsed it out like 5 mins ago.

It's really dark blue, not black.

I would like a refund for the product too.
I'm going to have to spend even more money to fix it.

OMG I used the exact same shade, Loreal Starry Night and my hair
turned out blue as well! At first it was a dark royal blue but daily
it's turning more of a baby blue! Its horrible and I feel like a
smurf. I had beautiful Blonde hair before this and I dont know what
to do. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I am guessing that
trying to bleach it back to blonde would prob be too hard on my hair,
drying it out and prob wouldnt turn out the color I wanted anyway. So
I am assuming going dark would be a better bet, but what color? And
if I go too dark (like black) is it going to turn out blue AGAIN?!?!
Thanks, Rachel RILunn@hotmail.com

wow... I wish I would have read all this before I dyed my hair. Just
like many others the same thing happend to me. I used Loreal Ferria -
downtown brown... I now have blue/grey streaks. I dont have any grey
hair (Im only 23) but i did have a few highlights... however the 1
-800 number on the box also told me it would be ok to use... it
wasn't!!!

I am going to my reg. stylist this week to have it fixed. It'll prob
also cost me around 100 dollars or so... this is no bueno!!!

Don't use loreal ferria!!!

OMG! I have no gray hair at all, and I'm not just saying that either.
I used the same exact color and the same thing happened. My roots are
like blueberry blue!!!!!!! I was so shocked. I double checked the box
to make sure I didn't grab the blue black tone. It was "Starry night"
Have you heard anything back yet? email me and let me know

I bleached out my hair and colored it with Starry night specifically
because of the side of the box - the model they used, has blue/black
hair.

It has a blue base, and it says right on the box it's a cool color.
I'm a student in cosmetology, but it's not rocket science.

My uniform is a dark navy and I'm so happy because my hair matches and
it RAWKS!!!

Just wanted to say kudos to Loreal, cause they don't lie.

Read the box before you put stuff on yo' head ....person. jeez.

Hahahahahaha....I used the same dye, exept on all my hair, and it
turned a super dark blue before turning black. It was awesome!!
Seriously, its starry sky, which means dark blue.

Dude, or lady, if you have gray hair streaks, then you should know
better to use a product that is not suitable for gray hair,
predominant or not... The fact that the gray hair is indicated as a
warning to imply that there's the possibility that having gray hair
could have undesired side effect...
