Hey guys! Hope all is well and that you’re not freaking out about your new hair color. But if you are and you’re wanting to remove it quickly and without breaking the bank, hopefully this video can help you!

I tried to keep it short and to the point. This is what worked for me! I really hope it works for you too but I can’t promise that it will. It just depends on your hair type, the hair dye that you used and how long you’ve had the color on.

Good luck! Let me know if you have any video requests! Have a blessed day!


Frequently asked questions

Disclaimer- I'm not a professional and do not have all the answers. I colored my hair a dark brown that came out almost black and then tried this method to try to lighten or remove the dark dye. I filmed it just in case it worked for me so I could share it in hopes that it might work for someone else.

I used professional color from Sally's. Not box dye. So I don't know how this method would work on box dye. It was a couple years ago and I don't remember if it was semi, permanent or semi permanent color. Sorry about that!

Q: Does it have to be Head & Shoulders shampoo?
A: That's what worked for me and I haven't tried it with another shampoo so I can't give you a straight answer. If you don't have Head & Shoulders, you can try what you have at home and see if it works!

Q: Can I use this method to lighten my hair?
A: I don't believe you can use this to lighten your natural hair. This is a way to strip the hair dye from your natural hair and in that, hopefully tone down the harshness of the dye or remove it completely.

Q: Will this work to remove any hair dye color from my hair?
A: I have never tried this method on any color other than dark brown/black. So I can't speak from experience. But I feel like it should work at least a little bit with any hair dye color.

Q: Is the paste safe for sensitive scalps?
A: It has never bothered me, but I have received comments from people who have experienced some irritation/stinging.
Hopefully it won't bother you ♥️ But use at your own risk.

Q: Will this affect natural roots?
A: It shouldn't affect your natural hair at all!

Q: Will this work if my hair has been colored for a long time?
A: From experience, I only had the dark hair color for a couple days. I would try this method as soon as possible after coloring hair. BUT I have received comments saying that it worked on hair that has been dyed for several months and even years. Hopefully it works for you too! Good luck!

Q: Will this affect highlights/blonde.
A: Other than drying the blonde out a little more, it shouldn't affect your blonde/bleached hair. I wouldn't suggest using a deep conditioner afterwards!

Q: How many tablets did you use?
A: I didn't measure anything out. Sorry about that. But I showed exactly what I did in the video!
