QuoteReplyTopic: *dyed black hair back to blonde* Posted: June 16 2006 at 3:27am
hi there! i am having some problems with girls going from dyed black hair and wanting to have lighter hair and blonde hi-lites.
well this girl came in with dyed black hair...she wanted to have her
whole entire hair to be lighter and with blonde hi-lites...soo we
bleach wash her hair...and her grow out is alot lighter than the rest
of the hair...so we put on a toner on the grow out...and then put an
all over color...after that we foiled her hair...it took us about 4-5
hrs...and thats a big chunk of time ..and i was wondering if there's any faster way to handle this kind of situation! any tips/advice would be awesome!

Well first of all it would have been much better on her hair for you to have used a color remover like colorfix on her hair under a hooded dryer, then the bleach bath. You could have used the colorfix, foiled her highlights and then applyed the base color between the foils, her hair would have been allover healthier and it would have cut out prob an hour of time. But this is color correction, you should be taking your time, and charging for it. In nc where I live color correction, removing the black and adding the lighter color would have been $150-200 plus $45-105 for the highlights, you should be charging accordingly.
P.S. go to sally's next time someone with colored hair want's it lighter and pick up some colorfix you won't be disappointed.
fyi I know my spelling sux!

so theres a color remover that removes the black dye? and it only
removes the color(dye) not her natural hair color? right? after that
then we bleach wash the whole entire head? and then you foiled the hair
and put the desired color in between? am i correct? im not sure! hehe
im still learning and gosh sometimes it can be so confusing!....and the
sad part is that we only charged her $140! for the whole entire
thing...i guess we need to up our prices! and thank you so much for
responding! hope to hear from u soon!

ohh i see what ure trying to say! dont do the beach wash! and instead
just putting the colorfix on her hair underneath the dryer...but for
how long? do we just keep checking on it until its lighter? and does it
effect her natural color hair? which is the grow out?. lol im totally
lost awhile ago but i read ur post again and im like ohhh i see what
shes trying to say! yeah her hair was pretty dried after all that!
Colorfix will remove the build up of oxidative dyes (permanent dyes),
it won't affect the natural colour like bleach does. If I
remember correctly one application takes 30 minutes but there are full
instructions in the box. On dyed black hair it may take more than
one application, and will not get the hair down completely to the
natural colour...it will probably be an orangey brown/blonde after one
application depending on how long the hair has been dyed for.
