Hair dye removers?
So my brother's a genius . . . he's a natural blonde and him and his friend thought it would be cool to dye their hair jet black. As you can imagine, blonde eyebrows don't look the best with that hair color . . . anyways, he's decided to strip the color out. What is a good product he can use from Wal-mart or another store like it?
Oh, and it's eight week hair color if that makes a difference! Thanks!

I'm not an expert with hair dye but I have had a couple of horror stories that I'll share.
First, I'm a natural brunette. I had this "brilliant" idea to spray Sun-In in my hair one summer. It worked, generally. Then I went off to college and after a while, a new friend said that if any of us wanted a hair cut but didn't have the money to get one she would do it. After doing a couple of people's hair (it turned out good) a couple of us asked if she'd ever given a perm. She said she had several years ago. I stepped up first and we went to the drug store to get the supplies. I'm not one to get perms very often, but having a hair stylist aunt and a do it yourself Mom, I'm familiar with the process. After wetting my hair we rolled it and put on the perm stuff. We didn't have enough curlers to do all of it, so we did the back half first. Then proceeded to watch TV with the rest of our friends until it was time to wash it out. She cut another persons hair while we waited. Finally I said, don't you think it's time to wash it out? She said, let me check...uh Tonya, you might want to go to the bathroom and wash it out now. So I did, in the sink. I immediately noticed this dirty orange color to the water and thought "What the heck!!" I continued to rinse it for 10 minutes and the water kept coming out dirty orange. Finally I stopped and went to find her. What the heck happened to my hair I screamed. "I am sooooo sorry Tonya, I didn't know you were supposed to mix part A with part B then pour it on, I thought part B was the nuetralizer!" We carefully unrolled my hair and afterwards I poured the conditioner on. We all decided that the best thing was to go ahead and cut it since it made me look like a guy from a bad 80's band the way it was. So she cut it from shoulder length to what was supposed to be a bob, however she couldn't get the front right and it kept getting shorter and shorter. Eventually it was just this side of being spiked. I was mortified the next day to find out that it was so badly fried that it just stuck out everywhere. It was three days before spring break and EVERYBODY on campus was calling me Carrot Top, or Einstein, or Triangle Head. I finally was able to get home and go to a beautician who just laughed for like 10 minutes before finally putting some expensive hydration on it. He said he'd do what he could but it was so badly fried that he was scared to do much. He said that the perm solution reacted with the Sun-In and stripped the color, then the perm was on for WAY too long and was improperly used (the failure to mix A and B together) resulting in super fried hair. He said he couldn't do anything about restoring the color until it grew out a few inches - assuming it didn't all fall out before then.
Fortunately it didn't fall out, but when it started growing out there was a distinct two-tone clash. After about 8 weeks I couldn't take it anymore and the day before I was set to be baptised into a different faith a different friend encouraged me to dye it black then wash it about 6 or 8 times so it didn't look quite as black. I did. I washed it so much that I thought if I stayed in the shower one more time I'd go crazy. The next morning I washed it some more. Needless to say the people at church were astonished. I washed it a few more times between Sunday services and the time I was scheduled to be "dunked", and the water was still rinsing with a color to it. I thought for sure I'd come up out of the baptismal water and the water would be this faint shade of black. :)
So whatever your brother decided to use, take care that it doesn't come out orange. It might just be better for him to dye his eyebrows and live in the shower for 8 weeks.

eliminating the dye will ruin your hair. Black dye is the toughest shade to eliminate or coloration over. except you go with to possibility critically drying your hair out, i could recommend in simple terms waiting till it grows out or fades on it is very own. once you're desperate to do it besides there's a strip kit from Revlon so which you are able to purchase. it is call is extremely "Dye Remover kit" and it is available in a White container with crimson traces and a few women human beings on the front. i'm uncertain if it works. you additionally can attempt bleaching your hair, reckoning on what form of dye you used, it could desire to or won't paintings, even though it is going to dry your hair and bypass away it an unnatural shade of yellow or orange if it does. sturdy success.
