Fixing a Bad Hair Dye Job?

So today I went and got some Splat pure sapphire hair dye cause I wanted a change from around 5-6 years of dyeing it red (natural is dirty blonde). I liked how it looked after bleaching it, but I didn't get all of the color out. I know that was my mistake, but to be honest I think I just liked it with the whitish blonde roots and strawberry blonde hair so I forgot that it'd need to be all like the roots. Basically the blue turned out muddy and now I'm wondering how long till I can use a color remover and if I can get the bleached version I got back?

Deep condition weekly and try again in a month.

I feel your pain- I once dyed my hair 3 times in one weekend and still had to get a professional to fix it. Wait as long as you can tolerate it before bleaching or using color remover and condition like crazy. The color remover should have how much time to wait between uses and I'm pretty sure it's a little less severe on your hair. I dyed my hair blue years and years ago, and when I needed to change it to get a new job, I couldn't get it all the way out; I used the pro stuff from the beauty supply store 3 or 4 times and the tint was still there.

And just a heads up- the blond you get from the bleaching process won't look nice for long, it will turn brassy before your roots become even become visible. You may want to get a toner or dye that matches the shade of blond you want. Keep up with the conditioner and pick up something to wash out the impurities if you go swimming (I've also had orange and green hair from Sun-in and swimming when I was 13 and have been dying my hair for 23 years since!)

There are several ways to take the color out of your hair naturally.

You can make a paste out of lemon juice and baking soda. Put this on your hair and leave it for an hour. Afterwards, shampoo and condition your hair.

Equal parts of vinegar and water put on your hair and left in for a few hours will also remove hair dye. Afterwards, shampoo and condition your hair.

You can also take Vitiam C tablets and mix with water to make a paste and apply to your hair. Leave in for about an hour. Then wash and condition your hair.

These are a lot safer for you hair and won't damage your hair like other hair dye removers.

Just have to say DO NOT put baking soda in your hair!!! If you want gummy , Extremely Dry and frizzy hair then Baking Soda is perfect. I dyed my hair and tried to remove the hair color with baking soda , it stripped my hair so bad that i couldn't comb it with the best conditioner in it , it would just frizz and it felt like straw.

It was so badly damaged I had to cut it all off.You are better off coloring 10 x with what ever color you want to try, at least that is what happen to me so I'd be careful.Good Luck

Wait six weeks and then try again plus do hot oil treatment.
