How to Wash Out Hair Dye

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Amelia. I'm here to talk to you about how to wash out hair dye. If you go to the salon, and you get a hair dye that you are not happy with, it's too dark, you can come home and just wash it, and wash it, and wash it. If you're really desperate, you can try a little bit of dish soap in your hair because it's got a lot of surfactants in it that will strip that color out. You're also going to want to not use a color-safe shampoo and then that dye will come out fairly quickly. But if you're desperate, and it's really bad, first go back to the salon where you had it done, and have them correct it. And if they will probably use something like this which is a color corrector. It actually goes in and removes the hair dye completely and brings back to your state. Now it won't bring you back to your natural color or what you were, what it will do is bring you back to something called your remaining color. So with this particular model, as you can see she had this color hair dye on and then we used thee a rusk on her and we pulled it out and what's left is this orangey tone because this orangey tone is what it was lifted from. So I'm, I put this permanent color on, it lifted her hair, and this is what's left af...after we took that color out, so then, of course, we have to use a semi-permanent color and cover this so we can bring her back to whatever color she really wants to be. So when trying to get your hair dye out, again, just remember that always go back to the salon where you got it done. There's a lot of ways that they can fix it that will keep your hair safe and healthy. And, again, you can also try using just some really harsh shampoos and that will help pull out some of the color. Sometimes if your hair's a little over-porous, it'll grab a little bit darker, you shampoo it once or twice, and it lightens up to just the right shade. So just be patient, and always remember to bring in a picture whenever you go and get your hair colored so that way you and the designer are both agreeing on what you're expecting."
