• Before you try anything on your hair to remove
  dye, decide what exact shade you wish to achieve.
  Do you want a pale shade for dying your hair
  another dark color? Or do you wish to remove
  unwanted dark tones?
• Once you decide, choose one method that suits you.

How to fade hair dye through color removers

• Color removers are similar to bleach but remove
  color with the least damage to tresses. Their
  specialty is that they dont harm natural hair
  color. They only remove artificial dye pigment.

• Removers work by shrinking color molecules and
  letting them get washed off. You must read the
  instructions carefully before using any. Some
  removers can be used a couple of times to fade
  permanent dye. For example, if the instructions
  say you need to rinse your hair for 10 minutes,
  do it.

Can anti-dandruff shampoo remove color?

• Yes!
• The shampoo can remove pastel shades and other
  unwanted tones from hair. Blond hair gone ashy or
  hair that displays a tint of color from a
  previous treatment can benefit from a few washes
  with this shampoo. It lightens up the color
  tremendously.

Use of sulfate-laden shampoo

• Sulfates are known to fade hair color. However,
  they are also detrimental to overall hair health.
  They can roughen hair and cause an itchy scalp.
• You may use it for a few washes, but then give
  your hair a nice, rejuvenating treatment with a
  high-quality sulfate-free shampoo. Stick to this
  shampoo thereafter.

7
Feed your hair vitamin C!

• According to hair stylists, effervescent vitamin
  C tablets when mixed with shampoo can work as an
  effective dye remover.
• Crush 2 tablets of 1000-mg vitamin C, and mix the
  powder into your shampoo. Apply this mixture
  immediately to your hair. Make sure each strand
  is smeared with the mixture. Wear a hair cap. Let
  the mixture stay for 20 minutes. Rinse with
  water. Finish off with a conditioner.

How to fade hair dye through bleach

• According to experts, bleach should be your last
  resort to remove hair. This is the most powerful
  method to remove color, but it is also the
  harshest. It can damage your tresses.
• According to hair stylists, before you rush to
  bleach your hair, know that bleaching fresh color
  can give you shocking results.

• Dark blue hair dye can turn into bright pink on
  hair while bleaching.
• Green colors may turn neon yellow.
• Purple dye may turn pink.

• Experts suggest washing out as much dye as
  possible through bleach. However, they also
  suggest avoiding this method and using it only
  when everything else fails.

11

• It is good to consult experienced hair stylists
  before using any of these methods. They can give
  you tips on hair safety and effective removal of
  dye. They can answer your queries regarding hair
  coloryes, even the weirdest queries.

12

• One of the queries that hair stylists get is Can
  I dye my hair extensions? This is mostly from
  fashion freaks.
• The answer is Yes.
• But . . .

13

• Hair extensions are generally treated with
  silicone oil. This is to protect them and give
  them a shiny, soft finish. So, according to
  stylists, although it is a bit tough to color
  them, you can still do it if you are determined.

14

• Avoid coloring extensions straight from the box.
  Wash them first. You might need some bleach to
  remove silicon oil so that the hair can grip the
  dye. Beware of using excess bleach. It can damage
  your extensions and crash your dreams of
  flaunting fashionable hair.

• Stylists recommend performing a strand test to
  know exactly what the dye will do to the hair.
  Hair experts dont recommend dyeing hair
  extensions. The choice is yours.
• Best wishes!
