When the colour is trapped inside the hair (even with clarifying) it can be really difficult to break through and get the colour molecules out. My jet black Bobbed hair is now cherry cola colour half way down to the ends, is a reddish brown to ash towards the roots with 1″grey roots. If you apply it throughout the whole head it will lighten all the non grey hair and so you won’t get as easier transition into your natural colour as it grows. After this correction treatment and moving forward, you should start using violet shampoos and toning the hair as you would any standard bleached blonde base. However, if you have long found your hair lifts to a nice colour with Sun-In, it’s very possible that if you used Decolour Remover, you would discover the hair was a shade you liked underneath, as that peroxide in the colourants developer would have been lifting up your natural brown hair, just as Sun-In does.

The problem you have is your roots are white, so it’s not going to be practical to use this pastel mint tone in your situation as your roots will look slightly green. In your case you are saying your natural hair colour is blonde, so if you are currently seeing a dark orange, it does mean you have more of that old colourant in the hair that needs removing. An oxidation colour (a colour that requires a peroxide developer) uses a totally different way to display colour.

If you have an event and just need it covered up quickly, I would recommend you find a Level 1 no peroxide brown colour (something like Wella Colour Fresh or Harmony). But generally, I find the initial pink treatment balances out that mint green and sets you back to a blonde principle, whereby you can maintain with standard blonde toning treatments. Hi Laura, if your hair is blonde and if it was previously lightened, all you should need to do is use Decolour Remover and get that red out.

I’m trying to get rid of my dark brown dye, I’m naturally dark blonde but have been dying it for many years, mostly light ash blonde then the last 3 years dark brown.If the water is too much on the cool side, this can cause the cuticle to start to close and it traps the colour molecules inside the hair. If you use Iced Platinum on the hair you will likely find it starts turning to a lavender/beige blonde.

It stripped the hair back to orange and I panicked and put a packet mix blonde which had peroxide in it through it. If you are naturally a copper 7 and you have been colouring your hair with a red-brown, I would predict the peroxide in the developer of the colourants applied, will have lightened your natural shade a little. However, redheads tend to suffer the most from re-oxidation (due to the sulphur content in their hair), therefore it is possible she could see some shadowing of the darker colour re-appearing.Depending on your level of grey and hair color, you might be able to blend in your roots for five to six weeks, or longer.

I’m considering going grey, but as a transition, may want to go dark blonde with highlights so the roots aren’t as apparent. What would you find is if the hair colour is removed, you could see like a tangerine result, where the oxidation colour left and the copper direct dye remained behind. Strangely, even a very light pastel blue overlaid onto ‘growing out’ blonde hair with darker roots can create a realistic grey. The hair looks warm because the hair’s underlying natural red and gold pigments were exposed by the lightening action of those previous permanent colourants applied. It sounds an odd suggestion, but I would actually recommend you apply a pastel lavender shade to this hair (after removal).No matter what happened, if you're wishing there's an undo option for your dye job, hair color removers help fix color mishaps. My goal is to get back to my natural colour which is a reddish brown (with some grey now) and to then just use a semi permanent on the roots to cover the grey. I dyed it the same shade once more, and now am unable to dye it again as I don’t want to damage my hair further. As the Henna ages, I always recommend trying to get highlights put through the hair with a non ammonia lighter or highlight tint. Hello just came across your colour remover in the supermarket so googled for reviews and come across this post… I have naturally blonde hair but have used box dyes (brown to now black) for a fair few years now would the colour remover work or would it be better to strip it?
