When Hair Color Is Off-Color
Just had an inquiry about how to remove a dark brown hair dye put in natural blond hair.
The most efffective remedy depends on just what sort of color was used. To remove hair color you need the appropriate product or process, considering what you are working with.
For instance, avoid clarifying shampoo to maintain hair color - it will strip your hair of its color.
If you color your hair and you now want to go back to your natural color, don't simply put another darker color over the hair that has been colored. It won't come out fine!
When hair has been lightened, it has been bleached and colored all at the same time.
As the hair lightens is goes through stages of color removal and these colors need to be added back into the hair before applying a final formula. This is called 'filling' the hair.
You are much better off going back to the professional who did the job in the first place and getting them to change it.
It is possible - it just needs the right materials for your particular hair.
It can take an hour or so, and also be applied roots to ends, depending on the condition of the hair. The more damaged or porous the hair is, the less time it will take.
Clean off a strand of hair with an old damp rag every few minutes to see how the color is looking.
