Is there a way to strip hair color yourself?

I dyes my hair and I am not crazy about it. I was wondering if there is anything I can do at home to strip the color out?
Thanks

Answer 1

I am a stylist and I'm here to help you. First step away from the PC and listen..
1 there is no such thing as a hair stripper. What most folks do is use a word associated with removing paint.
2 what is commonly used to TRY to remove the color is a powdered bleach. It rarely works and is very damaging to the hair.
3 The amount of color removed varies as to the color your trying to remove. Usually it is patchy and messy. not removing all The color evenly and also tends to leave a very ugly yellow in spots.
4 If I were you I would find a salon that has a color specialist if you can. If not call around until you find a salon that carries a product called Elimin8. It is made by Rusk. It is a color remover, what it does is remove oxidized color. That means, if the color in your hair is a permanent color or a demi color it was activated by peroxide. If it is an oxidized color it will remove it evenly and with very little stress to your hair. If you mix this product with shampoo you can gently lighten your color to very near what you want.Good luck!

You can go to a beauty supply store and ask the people there for the products that strip color. Keep in mind that stripping your hair color makes it a very white blonde color and then you have to dye it your natural color or whatever color you want to go to. I colored my hair purple then stripped it to white blonde and had to dye it my natural color blonde then it all worked out so I could stop dying it.

Some colours are harder to strip than others, and depends on what you've used in the first place. However. I strongly advise against it. I tried it once, spent the next day in the hairdressers trying to get it fixed. Took all day and still wasn't right. Had to have it chopped off. Never again. Some chemicals just aren't worth messing with.

Go to hairdresser, stripping hair yourself just too risky. (I was really careful too!).

There is a self-hair stripping dye kit that is made from Manic Panic. Manic Panic supports environment friendly, and organic, no chemical dye, and that's what it is. They do have dye products you can dye over your hair, and they are semi-permanent, they work really good, so you can try that. You can also go to their website: www.manicpanic.com
