I accidentally got some Copertone Face Self Tanning Cream in my hair. It turned the grey streaks brownish orange. How do I get it out?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

I tried baking soda. I made a paste, wetted the affected hair, combed it in, let is sit for 15 min., massaged like heck while rinsing and NOTHING.

I would try lemon juice, diluted 1/2 and 1/2.

But it sounds rather pretty for the summer, so maybe you could just add a few extra chunks around your head to even it all out and then it will all wash out together? You could start a new highlighting trend..women would save bundles of time and money at the salons...

Honestly, I have some grey I'd like to cover up...how bad does it look?

Try hair color remover available in drug stores. If you color your hair you will have to recolor though.

Try putting a tablespoon of baking soda in your hand along with your shampoo. Good luck!

Try washing your hair and if that doesn't work try rubbing alcohol.
