Lighten Hair Coloring - Tips to Lighten Your Hair Dye

Chemical hair dyes permanently change the color of your hair.  However, the chemical only sets in after 48-72 hours.  If you got your hair dyes less than 3 days ago, refer to my article on hair color removal.  If you have gotten your hair dyed more than 3 days ago, and it is darker than desired, there are multiple ways that you can to fade the color a little bit.  Certainly you can visit a professional, or you can use some at home techniques. 

  •  Visit a professional to help lighten your hair or redye it.
  • Wash your hair with Dawn dishwashing liquid.  This method is very drying but it should help wash out some of you dye.
  • Let your hair lie out in the sun.  A few hours in the sun can help to lighten your hair coloring.  It helps to fade the dye.
  • Hot oil treatments applied to your hair can help to remove the hair coloring dye which lightens your hair.
  • Time - time will make the dye fade eventually.  Also you could wait until your hair regrows.  But this takes ages.....
  •  Apply dandruff shampoo to your hair.  Dandruff shampoo can also be drying, but it will help lift out color and lighten your hair coloring.
  •  
    Remember that your new hair color will be a combination of your current color or base color and the color that you are applying.  Hence you can use a lighter hair coloring dye to lighten the color or your hair.  Just remember that although your hair may currently look terrible.  Your hair WILL eventually grow out and you will look normal again!!

    Have fun!
