How to Remove Red Dye From My Hair
Plenty of women (and men, too) have the unfortunate circumstance of dying their hair the wrong color. A bigger mistake is when the hair is dyed yet another color in hopes of covering up a bad hair color. This can (and will) damage your hair. Over-dying hair can cause it to frizz, fray, fall out and feel like straw. In order to correct this mistake, the hair's pigment needs to be stripped. This will remove the dyed hair color (along with the natural color) and allow the hair to be dyed the color of choice safely. Does this Spark an idea?
