Vitamin C Hair Color Remover

Absolutely works. My sister had bleached her hair and the hair pulled very yellow-orangey. She then used a toner, which ended up way too grey. I crushed 20 Vitamin C tablets in regular shampoo, added a little dish washing liquid (for extra stripping qualities), massaged into hair, let sit under a shower cap, checked every 20 minutes. After an hour, most of the grey had lifted. After she rinsed …Read more

It does work. I had been dyeing my hair black for years, so I was pretty sure it wouldn't do anything. And of course afraid it would totally dry out my hair. My hair is naturally curly, fine, and pretty delicate. I didn't wash my hair for 4 days, same as before I dye it,so natural oils could protect my hair. Crushed about 30 pills with a spice grinder. And mixed it with suave volumizing …Read more

Normally, I’m pretty skeptical of DIY methods, but this one is actually effective. I’ve tried it on semi-permanent, demi-permanent, and permanent dye, and it’s worked on all three. This is my go-to method when I don’t like how dark a dye job turned out. The most recent time I used it on black demi-permanent dye, and it lifted it to a warm light brown shade. Keep in mind that you will have …Read more

So I had a crap hair day on Tuesday. First I got a truly 4th rate haircut--too short, no shaping, no style. Just hacked to chin length (shorter than I wanted) and bangs. Then for some reason I decided it'd look better darker, so I put on a "light" ash brown gloss--and it came out very dark brown. Totally hid my highlights and utterly muddy-depressing.

Last night I tried …Read more

Ongoing hair disaster backstory:
Natural color- matronly field mouse. Length- just past shoulders. I've used 8.5N (champagne blonde) box color from the drugstore forever. It wasn't working like it used to, the color was sort of dark and muddy. I decided to go to Sally Beauty Supply and buy professional dye, thinking it would 'work better'. I bought ion brand 8N, and …Read more

I was really nervous to try this and pictured coming out of the shower with orange, straw-like hair. The truth couldn’t be further from that. I had years of box dyed dark brown and black hair. 45 minutes of the vitamin C/head and shoulders mixture took the severity of the dark shades out of my hair. I now have some of my natural red tones back and my hair looks very natural. My hair feels soft …Read more

I have naturally medium brown hair and decided to dye it black. Although i loved the colour on me, I decided I wanted to grow my natural hair colour out. Its been two years and you can imagine the contrast and line of demarcation. My hair is long and i didn't want to cut it to remove the dyed parts. I also didn't want to try any harsh chemical s on my hair (colour removal). So I was …Read more

I have had black hair again now for 4 all over colorings. One blue-black, blue-violet, blackest black, to the last one 3 weeks ago. In the color black. I left mine on for too long. I watched many videos and read many articles. For a couple of weeks. Some left it overnight. I decided to do it for 5 hrs. BIG, BIG mistake! I'd advise rethinking that kind of time is better. I actually got burns …Read more

I have a lot of my permanent hair color from years of coloring (I'm 100% white hair under the color). Granted my hair just touches my shoulders so hair color is probably five years old. I had brassy red, orange hair. This the 2nd time I did this, leaving the Vit.C and clarifying shampoo on a whole hour. Rinsed in warmest water I could stand washing three times with Antidandruff shampoo. …Read more

It works pretty well but makes my hair and and scalp feel dry.
