Quite often, girls who like to experiment while dyeing hair at home are faced with a situation where the resulting color is very far from the desired shade. If persistent paint was used for tinting, the result can be very disappointing, because the bad color will now remain for a long time. In this case, the question arises, how to wash off the dye from the hair and can it be done independently?
I must say that this problem has three different solutions. After unsuccessful coloring, bleaching agents, professional acid washes, and home masks that can muffle unsuccessful hair color can help.
Of course, when deciding what to wash off the dye from the hair, it is worth taking the advice of a professional, since the condition of the hair affects the choice of the product, as well as the shade that needs to be washed off.
If the tone obtained after dyeing seems too dark, then the hair can be lightened using preparations for bleaching. At one time, you can lighten the shade of the hair by four tones. However, it is worth considering that when applying brightening washes, hair often acquires an ugly red shade. The second time it is recommended to carry out clarification only after two weeks, but it is better not to expose the hair to the bleaching procedure again, but to color the red tint with a suitable tone.
When deciding how to wash off hair dye and choosing a brightening agent, remember that this procedure can greatly damage your hair, so it’s best not to use such products at home. It is advisable to entrust such a responsible matter to a professional, whose qualifications you have no doubt.
It should also be remembered that the darker the tone that does not suit you, the more difficult it is to get rid of it at a time. For example, to wash off black dye from hair, even the most experienced master will need at least three sessions. In addition, deciding to bleach, you need to remember that after completing this procedure, the hair will need to be taken care of, so the use of various masks, serums and balms will be required.
So when choosing what to wash off hair dye, it is better to give preference to gentle means. An acid wash, which does not contain substances that damage hair, such as hydrogen peroxide and ammonia, can be called such a preparation. These products do not affect the natural tone of the hair, but only “wash” the molecules of resistant dye.
When using acid washes, the grown hair roots, on which there is no dye, are not exposed, the drug interacts only with that part of the hair on which there is dye.
The essence of the action of washing is to break the bond between the dye molecules and the structure of the hair, as a result of which the dye is easily washed off. Even a dark shade can be removed with an acid wash in one or two times.
However, although the advertisement says that the use of such types of washes does not affect the health of the hair, one cannot believe this information for one hundred percent. Therefore, it is worth taking a more responsible approach to choosing the type of hair dye, as well as its tone, so that later you do not have to apply a wash. And if you still had to use this drug, then you need to “heal” your hair, using nutritious masks and good balms.
Using these tools, you can wash off hair dye at home, but it will be much better if you entrust this procedure to a professional.
And at home, to reduce the color intensity, it is better to use masks harmless to hair. Of course, home remedies are far from being as effective as those described above, but still with their help you can "muffle" the bad tone.
As home remedies, it is recommended to use masks based on oils - burdock, olive, flaxseed, almond. For the best effect, add a little bit of cognac to the oil. The oil mixture should be applied to the hair, gently rubbing into the roots and distributing the cooked mask along the entire length. Hold the oil mask for at least three hours.
Also, to muffle the shade of hair, it is recommended to make masks based on kefir or sour cream. And to remove the greenish tint, it is worth moistening the hair with a solution of acetylsalicylic acid, stirring five tablets of aspirin in two hundred milliliters of water.
