Dishwashing Liquid
Hair dye can be effectively removed by following these steps:
- Combine four to five drops of dishwashing liquid with your regular shampoo.
- Wet your hair thoroughly and apply the mixture evenly using your hands, massaging for about two minutes until a rich lather forms.
- Rinse your hair thoroughly with water to completely wash away the mixture.
- Repeat the process multiple times, being cautious not to do so consecutively, as dishwashing liquid can excessively dry out your hair and strip it of its natural oils. It’s worth noting that you may observe a significant fading of the dye color within two to three days of using this method.
- After washing your hair, apply a deep conditioner or use a hot oil treatment.
White Vinegar
The acidic properties of white vinegar can assist in dye removal. Licensed beauty expert Laura Martin states, “Vinegar can help remove color depending on the type of dye used, but it won’t eliminate it entirely. Therefore, it’s advisable to avoid using vinegar for removing red dye from hair.” Here’s how to utilize vinegar for color removal:
- Mix equal parts of white vinegar and warm water.
- Saturate your hair with the solution evenly.
- Cover your hair with a shower cap and leave it on for about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Shampoo your hair and rinse with water; you’ll likely see the dye start to wash out. You can repeat the washing process multiple times until the rinse water runs clear.
- Repeat this process several times as needed.
Vitamin C Tablets
Vitamin C tablets can be used to facilitate the removal of hair dye by following these steps:
- Dissolve Vitamin C tablets in a small amount of hot water to form a smooth paste.
- Apply the paste evenly throughout your hair.
- Cover your hair with a shower cap and let it sit for one hour.
- Rinse your hair with warm water.
Removing Black Hair Dye
Utilizing hot oil treatments, available at pharmacies, can expedite the removal of hair color while also restoring moisture, softness, and overall hair health. It is essential to follow the product instructions accurately, or you can create a hot oil mixture at home. Here’s how to use it:
- Apply the oil mixture generously to dry hair.
- Cover your hair with a towel or shower cap for 15 minutes.
- Wash your hair as you normally would.
