Always take precautions to avoid sunburn to your skin (don’t forget your scalp). If you can safely give your hair a little bit of sun exposure over a few days you will notice a difference in colour. While I don’t want to encourage anyone to expose themselves to sun-damage, most unnatural colours are not particularly photostable. Sun Exposure (without a UV protectant on my hair) The effects are subtle but if you’re a regular swimmer you will notice a difference. Swimming in the sea can also lighten your colour.

She’s right in that it will fade the color a couple shades.Īgain, we’re still fading not necessarily “removing.” As you can see the blue was still really predominant.

Check your hair every 5 minutes, up to around 30 minutes before washing out the mixture. A bleach bath will lighten up your existing colour but may also affect your natural colour.īy this time, I was getting very impatient which means I wasn’t quite ready to fully bleach my hair, but figured I’d give this “moderate” risk option a try. Apply to your hair immediately and take all the precautions you would when dealing with bleach to protect your skin and clothing. Simply mix up some bleach powder and 20 volume peroxide in a 1:1 ratio and add the same amount again in shampoo. Attempt #3 – Anti-Dandruff ShampooĪ bleach bath is made up of bleach and shampoo. I think maybe they were using it on hair that had been dyed within a few weeks… unlike me where my hair was blue for many months. I was really shocked that it didn’t work because almost EVERY youtube video talks about this method, but it just didn’t work. UMMM NO! Maybe this works within a few days of dying your hair when it’s still fresh, but it definitely did NOT remove even a shade of blue. I tried both Emergen-C powder which I had on hand and went out an bought the tablets. Follow with conditioner.Īfter the attempted Color Remover I then tried this method because I already had packets of Emergen-C in my cabinet.

The methods only “faded” the blue a shade – maybe two if I was lucky. I watched (practically) every Youtube video that talked about removing dye and tried them, BUT THEY DIDN’T WORK. Since my normal “fading” techniques weren’t working, I did what most of us do and turned to the power of the internet. (This was the first time I had ever had blue and I thought it would be as easy as the red I had to fade out before my next hair dye.

The blue created such a fantastic bright vibrant colored hair that I seriously I got compliments daily on the blue in my hair (always awesome). HOWEVER, when I decided (after 5 months of blue hair) that I was ready for a summer style of Reds and Yellows I started to fade out the blue. Ok so I LOVED the Turquoise and Blue dyes by Ion that you get at Sally’s, BUT they work so well that it is insanely hard to remove them when you’re ready to move on to the next style.
