How do get a semi-permanent hair colour to wash out faster?

Question

I used a spiced brown temporary hair colour to darken my blonde hair...what a disaster...Penny RED is what it looks like. I hate it and want it to wash out as FAST AS POSSIBLE...I have already tried washing it with dish soap...it is fading...but not fast enough for me. Any suggestions that will not damage my hair?

oh...btw...natural dark blonde with 2 month old highlights...

Answer 1

If your hair was naturally blonde it will come out alot faster, if it was colored blonde it will take longer because that hair is more porous and absorbs more of the semi color than natural hair would. Get a clarifying shampoo and a good conditioner to follow up with. That will work to strip out the color faster. If you go to a salon they can get it out for you. It depends how much you hate it.

Answer 2

At home, the only way to really get it out faster is to wash it more often. I read that you can mix a tablespoon of baking soda with half water and half shampoo. You put it in the hair and leave for 5 minutes, working it around the head the whole time. Supposedly that is suppose to fade color fast, but I have never personally tried it. If you go to a professional, there is a product called Color Phantom that will remove it all completely. If you have any friends that are stylists they can get the product at a beauty supply store really cheap and it is easy to use. Good luck!

Answer 3

Don't use baking soda... that will eat your hair's natural oils and cause it to be really dry and brittle. Buy some lightening shampoo, one made for blondes or people with highlights. This will naturally and safely lighten your hair more rapidly than normal washing. If that is not fast enough for you though, you can also mix a little peroxide with your shampoo before you lather. That is a little harsher on your hair, but will not cause any major damage.

lots of conditioner
