Have you used L'Oreal ColorZap Haircolor Remover?

Question

OR have you used any other color removers?

I used a semi permant hair color to dye my hair blue, now i am wanting it out. I might be changing jobs.

Please let me know what brand you used or if you have anyother suggestions on getting the lovely blue out of my hair.

Answer 1

I had dyed my hair black with L'oreal Feria color. It was suppose to be a natural black, but ended up JET BLACK. I hated it. After tons of "hair color remover product" internet research, I finally took the Colorzap plunge.
It's definitely a mild bleach product -- it smelled, looked, and acted like a bleach, but didn't do the damage that pure salon bleach tends to do. I used to bleach my hair at home years ago using just a bleach packet and developer (which, although they don't say it, seems to be exactly what this is), and it dried my hair out quite a bit more than Colorzap. I would highly recommend having a friend do the actual application, as you are suppose to apply it tip to root (opposite regular hair color) and it starts acting quickly so you need to get it on there, fast and evenly. I left it on for about an hour and it was a orange/red/blonde color. I put a semi-permenant medium brown dye over it (Clairol's Natural Instincts) and it took well but a little of the reddish color shows through.
My hair was "virgin" before the black dye, so if you have already damaged your hair quite a bit I can't vouch for this product being gentle. If you're going to use this, make sure you condition the hell out of it afterwards and continue to do so. I recommend getting some sort of deep conditioner (I use Aussie's 3 Minute Miracle, among other things) and use it every other day or so, along with a shampoo + conditioner for dry/damaged hair.
Overall, it did exactly what I wanted it to with minimal damage. If you can commit to taking good care of your hair afterwards, I say go for it.

Answer 3

You can get color stripper at Sallys Beauty supply. It's a professional product. If the Loreal colorzap haircolor remover works like Loreal haircolor, there is room for error.

Answer 4

Use L'Oreal Super Blonde. It really takes the color out.

Answer 5

go to a pro, ask for a color correction...yes it may cost more than doing in at home. But professional products seem to be more gentle, and you wont damage your hair as much....
