If you mean soap to wash the dishes in (I'm Canadian, so i have no idea what "washing up liquid" is, sorry), then yeah, it will fade the colour because it is a very abrasive soap, meant to clean the grease off pots and pans. However, it does dry your hair out, a lot. You can use it, just use a little, and be sure to use a really good conditioner immediately after and leave it in for a few minutes before you rinse the conditioner out. Don't do this too often: if the colour doesn't fade immediately, only use it once every two weeks or so: you could end up doing more damage than the dye did. Also, be sure to use a regular shampoo, not one meant for colour-treated hair, as this type will retain colour, and not fade it like you want.

It will fade the color a bit, BUT it will also dry your hair out considerably! I mean DRY-DRY-DRY! Think about what dish detergent is supposed to do "DAWN takes grease out of your way" - it strips all of the oils and fats from the hair shaft, leaving you with a brittle dried out strand that is extremely prone to breakage.
I know from experience. Tried it, and hated the results.
And don't listen to the person who said highlight your hair... double processing will lead to dry hair and breakage also... the highlighted strands will break, leaving you with half the hair, and a still too dark color.
Since the color is semi-permanent, the color will fade more and more the more often you wash it. I would wash every day or twice a day, and CONDITION the heck out of it and it will fade on its own.
Good luck!!!

I am not sure about fading the colour but I don't think it's a very good idea, washing up liquid will just dry out your hair as it has no moisturising ingredients.

I don't know about washing up liquid, but I use a really cheap shampoo to wash out my hair colour like Asda's own. You may be able to buy a pre-treatment shampoo which is designed to washout residue and previous hair treatments from your hair.

Washing up liquid can very harsh on your skin - I would advise caution in the use of it on your head. Your scalp is a lot more sensitive than your hands.

Don't think so, I believed I might have done it in the past in an emergency, but nothing happened, but as I never coloured my hair, I can't help you with the rest of your question.
Why don't you use a highlighter, to lighten the colour, if in doubt ask an hairdresser.

ive heard it can be good for your hair, depends on hair type i spose, if you have quite dry hair i would say no, but if it is oily then i think it would be fine, just try it once, your soon find out, good luck

You can try but make sure you use conditioner after! Although i have tried this on my real hair + it made no difference..
