I hate my hair color. What can I do?

—Kate Mulligan, Normal, IL

Bobbi: Bad color happens. But you don't have to live with it. Go back to your salon or pick up the phone as soon as possible. Often it's not a hard fix: I once rang my colorist after I realized he made my hair too dark, and a rinse with Prell shampoo, which contains a strong detergent that can strip out new color, fixed the problem!

Still, you may need to make an appointment for a quick gloss or toner to soften the shade. Good luck!

Next: My hair is so static-y in the winter. How can I fix it?
