MISS B.ITCH asked in Beauty & StyleHair · 2 decades ago

What is the best way to remove black hair dye from my hair - without bleaching?

I have had it bleached before but it went orange, brown and white - yes, altogether!!!

Since it was bleached, I dyed it dark brown - naughty.

I'm originally dark blonde/light brown and that colouring is strating to come through along with some grey so I think it's time to stop dyeing it now.

Serious answers please.

    Honestly you can't. You've tried stripping it before and with that drk brown/black hair color even if it is semi-permanent it won't come out. There are a few pro companies that make a product that will practically "wash" out hair color and leave it your natural color (it's more complicated than that, but it isn't like stripping), but the longer you've had the color on your hair the less it works.

    You may have to let it grow out and keep getting regular trims to cut it out.

    I actually have black, damaged hair too. even as i bypass to the salon each 4-6 weeks, I actually have my hair stylist spotlight my hair with bleach then dye the bleached factors, even with the indisputable fact that it is going to take months until eventually now my entire head is decrease back to a lighter colour. you may do this, yet quite a lot something else you do will damage your hair even extra because in case you bleach your head back by surprise, your hair ought to commence breaking and falling out. in case you bleach in straightforward words a touch of it, in straightforward words some extra hairs fall out and that's no longer as unfavourable.

    Cut it short, and let it grow again, this time without dying it. Or dye it again. I'm afraid that are your only available choices..

    I have brown curly hair and I have Blonde highlights. Perhaps you should try lighter blonde, this might look better than brown, brownish just looks kind of trashy.

    Exactly why is everyone with blond, why aren't you just have jet black curly hair with some blonde or blonde hair with some jet black hair. Now you don't have to choose.

    PAINT THINNER! I think you should ask a professional hair person, seeing as the last time you had a serious reaction.
