Colour B4 Hair Colour Remover

Ive always been one for changing my hair ever since I was young, and this usually consists of trying to reverse the blackest of black hair with a high strength bleach and loosing all my locks in the process!This time round though, and much less spontaneously I decided to look into finding a new way to get rid of my raven black permanent hair color. I went from bleach blonde, to bright red to black about 2 years ago now and had been black ever since (black over black many times), or I should say I've been an array of different types of black also (blue black, purple black etc). My hair now looked totally muddled and unhealthy looking and I felt "washed out" by the depth of the black color on my hair. I thought I would have to put up with it until it grew out!Then I found this product and became intrigued by some positive reviews and also after having watched some before and after videos on the internet I figured I had to try it! Even though I already new that it states it may not work if you have used UV hair dyes such as blue black which I had! I thought it would do nothing...I would like to stress right now (and I can't stress enough!) how important it is to read the instructions very VERY carefully and you MUST read the instructions more then once before you mix the products and start the process! Ive dyed my hair so many times I am so used to skipping instructions and just diving right in, but this product is different and you need to use it absolutely correctly for it to work!Before using the product I washed my hair thoroughly with a deep clensing shampoo (tresemme clense and replenish deep clensing shampoo) twice and no conditioning.As reviews have stated, the product smells bad, but not as bad to me as some reviews have made out! It is some what like egg and something else I can't put my finger on, more chemically! I was worried at first the house might smell for ages after but thankfully it didn't. I got used to the smell quite fast and it didn't bother me much.I wrapped cling film and a towel around my head and made sure I was in a warm place and blew the hairdryer on my head a few times just to make sure my head was nice and warm. Just before rinsing when I took the towel off my head I could already see a change! My hair from the roots looked very light ginger/light brown!The rinsing part is a pain, but you have to time your rinsing to be sure to rinse for 10 minutes between each process (first rinse, buffer rinse and then second buffer rinse) so you do have to put up with about 30 minutes of rinsing but I figured since my hair was so so dark in the first place I had to do it to the max! Even whilst wet I could tell my hair had lost the "blackness" and the tips looked more dark brown/copper colored whilst wet.Then I had the joy of drying my hair to see my hair get lighter and lighter the dryer it got and still in fabulous condition! I was overwhelmed by the results! It certainly didn't get rid of ALL the previous color (as it states you'll never achieve fully natural hair results if you have previously used bleach/hair lightener) but it made my hair a good couple of shades lighter, jet black to copper brown/gingery. The color was also very even to my surprise as I was also concerned the color would look crazy like really light roots and really dark tips but this wasn't the case. I would recommend this product to anyone who is unhappy with their hair and who wants an alternative to bleach! I will be using this product again at some point and I MIGHT use bleach after this but its a relief knowing I can use a much weaker bleach if I want to later on as this product has lightened my hair so well!The only thing I would say is, after my hair was dry my hair didn't smell like the product, but when I used my hair straighteners the smell suddenly came back off my hair which wasn't pleasant but after straightening no one said they could smell anything bad thankfully but be prepared for the smell to maybe linger slightly after using this product.

Good product and I have 3C/4A Afro textured hair, I was a little hesitant to use as I hadn’t seen any reviews for hair like my own and it was all on straight hair only, I found one YouTube tutorial for hair similar to my own but it wasn’t for the colour my hair was. My hair was ginger and I’d used a toner but it was mislabelled and turned my hair black with a red/purple tint so I freaked out once I took my towel off and saw my hair was a totally different colour, I had done three masks with the vitamin C and sulfate free shampoo to lift the red out and most of the stronger black and purple tones which worked well but my hair was still no way near the colour I had before so I decided to chance it with this not knowing if it’s any good on Afro hair, I thought I’d need two boxes as I have mid back length hair but when curly it’s shoulder length, it’s medium density and thickness but my strands are very fine so one box was enough but I’d advise to buy two just to be on the safe side as the more Afro texture you have the thicker and more dense your hair tends to be. As I’ve used henna on my hair before dyes it won’t lift henna out and even with peroxide henna is very hard to remove but it did a good job at getting the colour out of my hair and back down to my henna colour, the only downside is this smells of rotten eggs and the buffer did make my hair very very dry after so I had to do some intensive moisture based deep conditioning and even then my hair still had a funk to it for a couple days after, I found the best way to remove this smell is to add lemon juice to olive and coconut oil and plaster your hair in it daily then shampoo, add more oil and shampoo again then condition as normal but I’d advise those intending to try this product out to purchase some mint based essential oils like rosemary or eucalyptus to help mask any foul smells if they can’t do the oil treatments for a few days in a row to relieve the stench.
