How to Remove Semi-Permanent Dye
A semi-permanent hair color deposits temporary color on your hair and can help you decide if you'd like to permanently change your hair color. Although temporary, there is always the possibility you'll choose an unflattering color and want to remove it. Semi-permanent color can be removed faster using either natural remedies or store-bought products. Does this Spark an idea?

Wash your hair daily with medicated dandruff shampoo. The medication in the shampoo is strong and strips dye out of hair with prolonged use.

Use dish soap in your hair once a week and follow it with a deep-conditioning treatment. The dish soap strips color from the hair, but also removes moisture. The deep conditioner will restore moisture and shine, and can further the color-removal process, especially if it's left in for five minutes or longer.

Crush five or six vitamin C tablets and mix them into your shampoo. Work the mixture into damp hair and leave on for 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and the mixture should have stripped the color out of your hair.

Use a store-bought hair-color remover if you have difficulty stripping the dye out with home remedies. The process can be damaging, so deep-condition your hair after the color removal.

Tips & Warnings
Semi-permanent hair dye washes out within six to 12 washes, so you can wait for it to come out naturally if you don't mind the color.
Removing hair dye early is damaging to your hair and may leave it feeling dry.
