Hair Color Removal Guide

Tired of your dyed hair color?  Are you looking to remove your current hair color?  Sometimes we get tired of our hair color and want it to go back to a natural color.  Sometimes we have a disaster when trying to color our hair, that it is essential to return it to its own color.  Hair roots grow out and the color fades with time, however, sometimes we want immediate results...actually, we pretty much always want immediate results, no matter what the circumstances are.

Sadly, if your hair is over three days old from when you dyed it, you probably will not be able to return it to its normal color unless you simply redye it to a color similar to your natural color.  Or you can go to a professional.  The professional can highlight your unlusterous hair and offset coloring mistakes. 

If however, you dyed your hair in the last day or two, then you're probably in luck!  You can remove/reverse the color or minimize the damage.  Hair coloring usually takes between 48 and 72 hours to set into the cuticles.
