Product Information

Firstly, you need to get the brown artificial colour from the hair. If you use my Decolour Remover product (which is the red box) you will get the brown out, but you are going to see warmth. This happens, because peroxide has been applied to your natural brown hair and it will have lightened it. When you apply a colour remover, it takes out the artificial darker pigment but exposes that underlying warmth. This warmth then needs to be counteracted by a cool tone. Next, mix up your L’Oreal Light Ash Blonde as instructed, and apply it to all the hair pulled through the cap that has just been stripped and dried. Because this hair has been pre-lightened, it will lift further and then tone to a very good lightest ash shade. Let this colour develop, then remove the cap and rinse and wash the hair thoroughly.

Now, the colour to lighten is what’s confusing me. The foils which I assume are still underneath and because of the bleach or whatever was used to lighten it and keep it that way over the years is essentially going to turn out a different tone/result from my natural colour in amongst it including my roots. I need you to tell me which colour restore to put in my hair. I’ve looked at various blonde tints to mix with developer but I don’t want it to turn muddy/green/brown if I need to use it! Hydrogen Peroxide:To lighten hair color that is too dark, spray your hair with a mixture of equal parts hydrogen peroxide and water. Leave it on for 30 minutes and then rinse.Hi There, well it might be worth giving your hair another application of Decolour Remover if you think there was a lot of build up. I would suggest the next application at maybe the 7 day point from the first application of Decolour. If you have established that it was the shade that has caused your hair to go warm, golden, copper or red due to the secondary tones featured in the product, applying a hair colour remover should rectify this issue. 7. Strip or Switch to Balance Natural Warmth With this cap highlighting method of firstly stripping, then re-colouring, you should achieve a really light, cool highlight throughout the hair and it should blend out a lot of the warmth in the surrounding depth. What do I do please? My thoughts were use and colour remover then use a ice blonde gloss to rid of orange tones, OR should I get a ash semi perm?

Should I try a darker grey semi or will it need a permanent ? I’m loathe to do the latter as I’ve had breakage in the past and now am careful to only do the roots each with a tiny “overlap” to avoid over-processing so the idea of using permanent all over is a bit scary ! I’ve been doing my own hair for 12 years and I’ve always done my research beforehand, I’ve just never used a permanent red dye in the past so unsure what to expect. I have dyed my hair with permanent dark blue Swarzkopf Live Intense colour. I’ve had this on for a couple of months now and I’d like to strip the colour and put on red (Garnier Olia Bold, intense red). My natural hair colour is very dark brown – I did bleach prior colouring. I’m unsure whether I should be using a hair colour Remover or hair colour Stripper for the purpose of lifting the dye on my hair. It’s turned a mixture of green and blue over the months and I read about the pastel pink solution you told someone else but I’m not sure if that could still be applied to my situation. I’ve only dyed the ends of my hair, so not the whole head. Would it be okay to dye my hair after using the hair colour remover/ stripper or would it damage my hair too much? And so, what colour should I put on as I don’t want to be left with bleached/ orangey ends? I used your decolour remover today as I originally had blonde highlights in my greying hair but then I went to a hairdressers and she suggested a colour for me which turned out really brassy which was horrid.This time it has not really worked at all, in fact, I think it looks a bit darker than after the first time I tried it. When I was rinsing it looked lighter but once I had finished and it had dried, it was darker. I didn’t use any other products except the finisher in the box. Now, onto the exposed warmth. Firstly, switch to using only a blue shampoo as your regular cleanser. You will need to use such a shampoo once you are grey/white anyway. Next, I would recommend you apply Colour Restore Lilac Grey to the hair. As you have said, using a Metallic colour will help transition you. Colour Restore Lilac Grey can only display as ‘Lilac Grey’ on white hair; if someone with warm hair uses it, the hair will take on a cool-muted tone. Therefore, it’s a perfect product for using after Decolour Remover. In addition, applying the Colour Restore Ash Spray ‘Instant Toner Spray’ as your regular leave-in conditioner Ash Spray Instant Toner Spray will add further cool tone to the hair. Hi Scott – I am after some advice please? I have been dyeing my hair using a permanent dark brown, and then switched to using a non-permanent dark brown a few years ago, but only using on my roots. Timing is also key; do not attempt to conduct several permanent colour processes on your hair within a one-month period. Frequent exposure to peroxides, ammonia and PPDs can cause the hair to become very porous and damaged. Once hair becomes damaged, it is then difficult to achieve a good colourant result, as the shade could grab initially and appear too dark or patchy, and then fade fast over subsequent washes. 11. Fashion Colours Can Be Difficult to Remove

Use moisturizing products to maintain the moisture levels of grey hair and get better results from your healthy hair When you apply a permanent colourant, the peroxide in the colourant will lighten the hair a level or two, pretty much exactly as Sun-in works. However, you cannot see this underlying lightening because the artificial colour molecules sit on the top. When you use a hair colour remover it takes out the artificial molecules and exposes the lightened hair underneath. This is where many people discover the previous colourant lightened their hair to a coppery colour. However, if you have long found your hair lifts to a nice colour with Sun-In, it’s very possible that if you used Decolour Remover, you would discover the hair was a shade you liked underneath, as that peroxide in the colourants developer would have been lifting up your natural brown hair, just as Sun-In does. A colour remover contains a reduction agent, which works only on destroying the artificial colour molecule so that it can be flushed from the hair; it cannot affect the natural pigments in the hair.From what I can gather, Cool Ash is what you recommend however, I can’t help but think that I would essentially be going through the process to end up with still brown hair a couple of tones lighter than I am now with the “gloss” and it’s only an assumption that it is really a semi permanent colour or rinse as we call it in Australia. Hi Janet, I really do not think you will get the result you want from Decolour based on your history. You see, whilst your hair is naturally mousy and grey there would have been natural warm tones in the non-grey hair. Therefore, the moment permanent shades are applied to the hair that mousy shade can start turning buttery if the peroxide developer was too strong. It sounds like you have managed to get the secondary sandy colour out (which went coppery). Therefore, based on everything you are saying, it seems you really don’t like too much warmth in your hair. Before you try anything else, I recommend you apply either my Colour Restore Iced Platinum or Cool Ash to your hair. I believe you currently have a yellowish blonde base that will tone very well. I’d also recommend you only wash your hair in a purple shampoo (from now on) as this will also help. If you want a more light neutral blonde, I’d suggest using the Colour Restore Iced Platinum for 20 minutes, then only washing in a purple shampoo after that. However, if you’d like a more beige blonde use Colour Restore Cool Ash. Still wash the hair in only purple shampoo. Colour Restore shades fade off over washes, but they are conditioning and do not damage the hair. Therefore, you can re-apply whenever you want to replenish the colour fade. If you can, try to keep this regime up for about 6 weeks, it will give your hair a rest and create a good interim colour. I am wondering should i do another treatment of the remover in a week or should i use the stripper instead? And after the 2nd treatment should i wait for another 7 days before i can put grey in? Hair Colour Removers like Decolour Remover (red box) cannot technically work on semi-permanent fashion colours. However, whilst Decolour Stripper will get the unwanted purple shade out of the hair, it will also lighten the underlying base, so you would lose your balayage which is sitting under your purple colour. I know Decolour Remover can generally get semi-permanent reds out of the hair (due to the red colour molecule). However, what tends to happen is the red will flush out of the purple shade and leave a blue behind. If the blue (left behind) is a fairly standard blue, applying a pastel pink throughout this hair will create a lavender result. However, if the blue appears more like a mint green, the pastel pink turns this mint green colour to a beige blonde.

Ok, I have naturally medium brown hair with a few greys. For years I have had foils put in which lighten it significantly to be a light blonde but not to the extent of platinum. I always use purple shampoo so I didn’t have warmth. Do not apply a peroxide-based colourant immediately after using a hair colour remover. The chemistry of colour removal and peroxide contradicts, so you need to leave the hair to normalise before attempting to apply a peroxide-based colourant; ideally, wait for one week. However, you can use peroxide-free semi-permanent colourants and toners, such as Colour Restore, immediately after using a hair colour remover. 9. Stripper Creates a Blank Canvas for RecolouringA hair colour remover is not designed to remove direct dyes. A stripper colour cleanse treatment can remove direct dye, but always strand test first to make sure the hair is healthy enough to withstand the treatment. 12.
