How to Get Rid of Dyed Hair and go back to your Natural Hair

Highlights can help mask the difference between dyed hair and natural hair.

So you've spent a while as a dark redhead, but now you're ready to get back to your brunette roots. The process for going back to your natural hair color can be as quick as a cut or as long as coloring your hair until the dyed color grows out. Whatever you decide, take care not to overstress your hair as you taper off the dyeing process.

Things You'll Need

• Vitamin C Powder
• Pert Shampoo

Instructions

1. Cut your hair to remove the dyed color. If you have the stomach for a drastic change, go short and natural at the same time. Let your roots grow out to the desired short length, then trim your hair to match.

2. Add highlights in a shade between the dyed color and the natural color. As the roots grow, the highlights will mask the line between old and new growth. As your hair gets longer with the natural color, use fewer highlights.

3. If all of your hair is dyed with little new, natural growth, alter the color in stages until you get to your natural shade. For example, if you dyed your hair blond, but you want to return to your natural dark brown, color your hair in progressively darker shades until you arrive at your natural color.

Tips & Warnings

• If you don't have Vitamin C Powder another thing you can use is any baby shampoo in place of the Vitamin C Powder. You still get the same results and either is really easy to use and economical.
