I've coloured my hair but I'm not happy with the result any ideas what I should do now? Shell I dye them again

Question

My hair are too dark now. Any idea how to decolor them?

Answer 1

ok first rule about haircolor that they teach in beauty school.... color doesn't lift color.
meaning that if you buy a lighter color it will NOT take out the darker color!

so
if you want to lighten your color without damaging your hair anymore, you can try a couple things,

use really cheap shampoo like prell, or suave, these have a really high ph level, a high ph level will open up the cuticle of your hair, and let some of the dark color out. the hotter the water the better. dish soap like dawn also works. you will have to do this several times and probably for a few days.

or
you can go to the beauty supply and buy a color remover kit!!~~~this WILL damage your hair more~~~
follow the directions on the package, then you will need to color over the results of that since it will be a really awful orangy color, be sure to pick a shade or 2 lighter than what you actually want, since store bought colors tend to be a shade or 3 darker than they show.

my advice if the washings dont work enough, is go to a pro.... she (or he) will be able to do the best job without as much damage as you might inflict on your hair. it may cost a bit of money, but if you value your hair it is worth it!

hope i was a help!

Answer 2

Ju, you will have to buy a product which will "strip" the colour out of your hair - any store or chemist - remember to wear a hat when you go to buy it!! Then follow instructions and from there you can dye it any colour you like. Good luck - get a friend in to help xx

Answer 3

You can buy hair dye reducer from any chemist. My friend once dyed her hair black when she was 15. Her mother used the hair dye reducer on her hair and it came out a really beautiful medium brown colour with fabulous little red glints in it and looked really natural and BEAUTIFUL - grits teeth with envy!

Answer 4

hi, if u want, u can dye it one of these colours:
*Blonde
*Dark Blonde
*Light Brown
Dark Blonde is a nice colour, with some honey and lemon colours, or you could just try highlights in ur dark hair like vanilla,red,creamy blonde.... etc etc
Hope this helps, xx

Answer 5

if u think u dont like it. just dye ur hair again but u have to choose the colour carefully.

Answer 6

Try a Ms Clairol Jazzing rinse so you can get a shiny dose of low lights.

Answer 7

You can go to a salon and they can do a color remover. As a stylist, an easy way to "fade" out fresh hair color is to wash it with Dawn (dish soap).

Answer 8

for me it depends upon the girl. Like I might observe a girl with black hair and also think she is totally hot however see a girl with blond hair that is meh and vice versa.

Answer 9

To lighten it up, try using a slightly lighter color.. or stop in on a beauty shop and see what they say

Answer 10

YOU WANT TO USE AN ASTRINGENT TYPE OF SHAMPOO A CLARIFYING ONE. ALSO THEY HAVE A PRODUCT CALLED COLOR OOPS! IT WILL LIFT WHAT YOU JUST COLORED AND WON'T MAKE YOUR HAIR BLEACHED. ALSO IF YOU ARE WORRIED IT IS BEST TO SEE YOUR STYLIST. THEY CAN FIX MOSTLY ANYTHING WITH OUT DAMAGING YOUR HAIR. COLOR OOPS! I FIND IS USUALLY AT WALGREENS, BUT IN MOST DRUG STORES IN THE COLOR ISLE.
