Okay i used to have bright red hair(a long time ago)now it's pink i eventually want to be blonde again. i had a bad bad baddd experience with trying to strip out that red hair dye...it only would turn to this ugly pinkish/orange color than my hair started feeling like plastic and breaking off =[
It was so bad i resorted to having to wear a wig! ='[
Not fun. But once my healthy hair grew back i started styling it again and bleaching it to pretty much white with no breakage or any problems. But on a whim i decided i wanted pink hair and got cocky since my hair has be cooperating with me. now i'm thinking of the future and just want some advice on how i can remove this pink dye with no problems.

There are certain products made for stripping the color out of your hair, but usually you'll end up having to put in dye after you do that, because it's usually a drastic blonde change && probably not the blonde you want it to be.

Usually the best route for something like this is to go to a hairstylist. If your not sure what your doing you'll end up damaging your hair again like you did before.

Good luck!

I cant afford a hair stylist plus that happend when i was 14 i'm 19 now and no way more about hair and what im doing. Everyone compliments my hair and ask where i go to get it done but i do everything d.i.y. I just don't trust "professionals" when i can do the same thing to myself without wasting the money.

I just remembered that i used some cheap hair dye remover and then tryed using walmart brand bleach! lmfao i was young and stupid. Now i use wella bleach and toners. Wella is the BESTTT bleach i have ever used. I'm never scared of it, it never did me wrong. I dunno whyi posted this i'm just paranoid i'm pretty sure i'll be able to manage

There are two types of color removers. One is chemically a "reducing agent". ColorFix, Color Oops, and Igora Phantom are three brands of this type. There is another type of color remover that is a modified bleach ("oxidizing agents"). Color Zap and Effasol are two brands of this type.

The reducing agents dissolve the artificial pigment in the hair and you have to try to wash it out. The oxidizing agents try to lighten the pigment. With either type, you are expected to re-dye the hair afterward. The formulators really don't expect that the hair will look good after using the color remover, and there are many reasons for this, so plan on re-bleaching or re-dyeing.

The natural pigments are always changed when peroxide or bleach is used on the hair (the original dye or bleach job). Reducing-type color removers won't do much to the natural pigment still in the hair, but oxidizing-types will. Nevertheless, there's no reason to expect that the natural pigment in the hair will look good. If you used only peroxide on the hair, the hair would turn brassy. Often not all of the artificial pigment can be removed and this adds to the expected weird color.

Color removers are always hard on the hair. Reducing agents are usually less damaging than oxidizing agents.
