Decolour Hair Colour Remover For Dyed Hair Removes Unwanted Permanent Hair Colour

I was a bit trepidatious about using this but had to try something as I needed to remove the dark purple colour I had put on my dark blonde with grey hair. I had also built up quite a few layers of other colours underneath. It's not difficult to use but it is a bit of a faff. (To be fair that is probably true of colour removers in general!) It recommends reading the instructions twice before you start and I would definitely echo that. The main stuff is a bit smelly but not at all unbearable (and I am very sensitive to smells) but the other lotions and potions smell quite pleasant. One thing that was surprising was that when I washed off the colour remover part I expected the water to run quite murky but it was totally clear. Slight panic at that point in case it hadn't worked! When the moment of truth arrived at the end of the process I was actually amazed - there was no sign of the purple or other colours left in my hair. It was totally back to normal, albeit an awful lot greyer than I remembered! This wasn't as expensive as some of the colour removers but it seems to have worked really well and the smell isn't too bad. I would definitely buy it again.

I have been colouring my hair for years and have used a wide range of brands. I never had a problem until I used Age Perfect for the first time. The colour I chose was warm golden brown and the colour shown on the pack looked attractive and very similar to previous colours I have used. However my hair did not turn out to be "warm golden brown". The colour I got was very dark - almost black. My hair is long and my fringe and around my hairline turned out slightly lighter but the rest, especially the ends were, as I have said, almost black. Other than get my hair cut short, I didn't know what to do. I tried using a lighter colour but this had no effect. I came across this product and decided to give it a try. It was quite a lengthy, laborious process which I followed to the letter and I left the product on for the maximum time stated. It had no effect whatsoever! My fringe and my hairline which have most grey, remained grey with bright ginger ends. It looked horrendous and the rest of my hair was as dark as ever. I momentarily thought about buying another pack and trying again but the first application had so little effect that I did not feel that it was worth trying it. I have to wait at least 7 days before colouring my hair again and during that period I have to wash my hair at least 3 times. I am currently going through this process. In the meantime I am wearing my hair in a tight bun and I am also wearing a broad hairband. I am spraying my fringe and hairline with Root Perfect which is a temporary spray for touching up roots. In this way I am managing to look reasonably presentable until I colour my hair again. Unfortunately when I colour my hair again, although I will chose a lighter colour, it will not colour all the dark hair I have been left with. This product was a total disappointment and I would advise you not to waste your money.

Really great product. Yes it smells but all colour removers smell bad! Like eggs and bad farts. You can’t avoid this. But the job it did was awesome! I had bleach blonde hair, dyed it red, dyed it brown, it faded so I dyed it again but it didn’t take evenly, I put a pink wash over it and it went a weird purple. I HATED it. Used this and it’s back to a light brown and it didn’t lift my regrowth at all which is great because I’m growing it out :) I’d absolutely use this again, I got two boxes because my hair is about bra strap length and kind of thick. Once I rinsed off the product I shampooed it and then applied the conditioner provided and left it on while showering. Also make sure you’re using as hot as you can handle while rinsing as this helps remove the colour molecules! Included photos are of when I dyed it and it didn’t take evenly, after I put a pink wash over it and then tonight during processing and how the colour looks now. It’s also very soft feeling.

I had a bad home diy balayage that was growing out (picture with the red jumper) and I’ve had a hard time matching my root colour with different 4.0 colours, even from the same brand name. They all came out as different shades of brown with hot roots galore so I decided to go for a darker colour to blend it all out. It was 3.0 supposedly semi permanent but it was soo dark it was almost black and far too dark for my skin. It did blend out most of the colour issues though. So I decided to use this colour remover. I followed the instructions and left it on for an hour under a shower cap with a towel wrapped over it to keep it warm. I then did the treatment in the same way for half an hour. My hair is lighter, but not as light as I would like so I am considering doing it again with a heat hood and my hairdryer. The greys are somehow not very noticeable and the permanent root touch up that I have been using most months for over a year seems to have come out and my hair is redder at the roots. The mask really improved the condition of my hair but it has straightened out my curl pattern. It was 2C/ 3a but now seems to be 2a/b. If you are wanting to strip our colour you can expect it to take out some but I haven’t had anything like the results promised by the marketing. Which is probably a good thing as it put me off using it for fear of looking like a banchee! All in all it has helped and not damaged my hair (improved it) and it’s an awful lot cheaper than the hairdresser - she wants £100 for colour removal on top of the cost of colouring it. The smell is bearable but the worst thing is you can’t colour it for a week after using the colour remover, except for certain temporary dyes (a standard semi permanent is no good).

Used this about a year ago to take the black out of my split dye and it worked great. I used Schwartzkopf LIVE for the black side back then and my hair was bleached underneath. The colour remover pulled it back to a golden dark-ish blonde. More recently I coloured my hair with higher quality colour because I didn't like how badly LIVE would bleed. I used 100P or P100 (not sure) this time around and this colour remover didn't even touch it. The black is just as dark as it was before I used the remover. Worked really well the first time so I had high hopes but it just wasn't useful this time around. Also it REEKS the smell is not pleasant and sticks in your hair afterwards. Great product if you used cheap box dye, don't try it on salon colour.

I am not one to write reviews but thought I must for this. I have elbow length box dyed hair I am naturally a dark brown but for the last 5 years I have been box dyeing it with a chocolate brown but because of doing it every 8 weeks and not just doing my roots I did whole head and left me with a colour build up so hair was black. I had spoken to hairdresser about lightening it as wanted a natural brown she suggested stripping it or bleaching it. Which would be a long and expense journey plus damaging to my hair. I researched as must as I could but didn’t want to put a stripper/bleach on my hair so this is my journey. I did the vitamin c and head and shoulders treatment covered in cling film and left a hour this lifted my root area to a brown but didn’t do anything to the length. I cut a strand test from my hair and did a sample test result after 50mins and heat applied was orange. I kept a close eye on the strand test and noticed it only started to go orange in the last 5 mins. So I decided to go for it. I applied the scott Cornwall 2 box’s all over my head leaving the roots as these had already lightened wrapped in cling film with a towel wrapped round and left it 40mins. I rinsed for a full 10mins Then applied the conditioner left for 5 mins then rinsed again for 5 mins. My hair is now a medium brown colour with a slight hint of red if in the sun. My hair is in fantastic condition no damage what so ever. I had been planning to dye my hair to a brown but with the results I am very happy with it. Sorry for the length of review but there is a lot of mixed results as everyone is different this is just my experience and hope it will help someone in the future

Had blonde hair and added lowlights using a Casting Creme Gloss Light brown which is a semi with about 15vol. The results came out patchy so decided to use this to at least lighten the brown and help it fade out quicker with washes ready for the reluctant hair visit I booked a few weeks later. I followed the instructions PERFECTLY.. all the shaking of formula, rinsing (used a timer) buffing etc and this did NOTHING. Not even a slight fade. The box was damaged (not Amazon’s packaging box the actual box for item) so makes me wonder if this stuff it past it shelf life!! Never used such a useless hair colour remover before. TIP- Please be aware with other reviews - when people complain how it turns their hair ginger it is worth noting that if the colour developer they used had a volume of more than 5-10% in it this WILL lift the hair on the dye process even if your going darker.. how hair colouring works is the hair is lifting and depositing colour molecules at the same time when using a perminant. Semis don’t have such a harsh process but even shop bought semis usually have a volume 15 in them.. just a tip for future purposes and those looking at people and wondering why they’ve gone ginger.. it’s because the hair dye they used (at some point in the life span of the hair) would have lifted the hairs base colour in its life span before using the remover.

OK so this does work pretty well but I probably wouldn't use it again. Here's why: I went from bleached orange to a very deep purple/burgandy (non permanent) with black ombre roots (permanent). I decided it was a bit dark and wanted to remove it. The kit comes like a box dye with two bottles you have to mix together. The stuff you have to mix into the one bottle is extremely thick and quite difficult to get it all out of the bottle. The worst bit is, this stuff STINKS. I'm NOT sensitive to smells but my god.. It's rotten eggs on steroids. The smell filled the whole room within about ten seconds. I couldn't eat or drink when it was on because I kept gagging, I'm not joking its bad. I washed it out after 45mins, I noticed that my hair was very very dry. It tells you to comb through the hair whilst washing out but I couldn't, my hair was that dry and tangled. The balm you get for after however helped with this. Its very nice, in fact I'd love it if they sold it as a mask. I'd say a decent 80% of the colour is gone so it does work and is gentler than bleaching. I'm back to ginger with a slight pink tinge, the black roots however have just faded to brown, so it didn't exactly remove the black permanent colour even though it said it would. Unfortunately my hair still absolutely stinks of rotten egg. I spent the whole night with a bad headache and felt very sick. I'm about to redye it now so hopefully that gets rid of it. I would recommend if you absolutely cannot bleach as like I said it does work, but seriously, you can't prepare yourself for the smell. I'm not at all exaggerating. For this reason I'd be very hesitant to use again. Also quite annoyed as I put it in my basket at 6.99 then two days later it was 8.99?

Muy buen producto. Me encanta.

Ich hatte eine Lage schwarze Haarfarbe auf meinen Haaren, die ich loswerden wollte. Mit diesem Produkt sahen meine Haare wieder aus wie vorher. Das einzig Negative ist der Gestank, der auch nach Wochen noch in meinen Haaren hängt. Jedes Mal, wenn sie nass werden, riecht es wieder unangenehm. Ich bin aber dankbar, dass ich die Farbe los bin und darauf kommt es an.

Bonjour, franchement produit nickel, il y en a qui coûte vachement plus cher pour le même effet donc franchement je recommande, les gens ils se plaint de l'odeur mais c'est normal c'est les produits qui font ça, moi j'ai du noir sur la tête là je suis en train de les éclaircir avec ce produit magique oui l'auteur est insupportable mais c'est un mal pour un bien et on a pas rien sans rien bref franchement je recommande ce produit à 200 % ça marche trop bien je suis pas assez de noir châtain clair, même plus clair je pense je l'ai encore sur la tête après je vais faire un violet ça va péter. Bref je répète je recommande ce produit n'hésitez pas.

Le istruzioni non sono in Italiano, ma ci sono disegni esplicativi. 1- preparare il prodotto 2- fare un lavaggio con metà della bustina precolor 3-asciugare con un’asciugamani e applicare bene la miscela sulle lunghezze aiutandosi con un pettine (tempo di posa in tabella) 4-sciacquare bene per alcuni minuti e lavare con l’altra metà della bustina 5-applicare il balsamo in dotazione. Odore simile a quello dei prodotti per permanente, non danneggia i capelli. Ovviamente resteranno i capelli “ossigenati” dalle varie tinture.
