thanks for your replys.

    the girl behind the counter at sallys said that the color fix  will remove the semi perms. (idk how right she is, i tend to trust you gals more than them. after all it was on her assurances that i would not fry my hair off with the relaxer, that i ended up frying off my hair.)

    after my manager told me that i had to have natural color, my first instinct was to shampoo several times with head and shoulders. i ended up shampooing five times with the h&s, and  the color has faded alot. 

    my hair was heavily porous from repeated dyeings (ik, bad for the hair, but it feels softer now than it ever has), so i think the color pulse might have acted more like a perm (kinda like demi perms do) so im gonna give color fix a try.

    ive already bought the stuff. wish i had read these earlier, and i would have picked up uncolor instead. ill just have to give it a go, and see how it comes out.
   
    ive got wella  color charm demi perm in 6n dark natural blonde to put over it, as my hair under the demi burgandy is bleached, and it will go darker. ill update tomorrow after i finish processing.

    thanks you gals for all of your help.

FabulousHairExt is absolutely right.  ColorFix is not designed to work on a product like L'Oreal Color Pulse.  Was your hair heavily processed/porous beforehand?  If so, the Color Pulse might be a little harder to remove.  If not, a few rounds of strong shampoo should noticeably fade the color.

If several shampoos don't help enough, try a either a remover designed for semi-permanent color, or put an ash brown semi dye over it to give you something in the range of natural hair color.

loreal color pulse is a semi perm hair color, so try to wash it out with  dish soap. doing this will not damage your hair at all.  if that does not work  color fix is not required, because color fix is for perm dye's what you have is semi perm. so you need a semi perm color remover like uncolor (at sally's), after applying the uncolor you just simply apply a filler and the  color you want. o yeah the uncolor will make you the color you were before you used the color pulse, and will do no real damage it will just make your hair a little dry.
fyi I know my spelling sux!

right well i decided to try and bleach my hair and that didn't work it went ornage, so i think what you need to do is actually go to the hairdressers, they will probably strip your hair and then put a red pigment in it and then put a natural shade on top, hope i helped

ok yall. since my last post, i have used loreal color pulse in red pulse on my hair. it is now a dark burgandy wine color with fire engine red highlights. well, my manager at work (i work at starbucks) has told me i need to change my hair color to a more natural color. so, i know i need to use colorfix to get rid of this red. ive never used color fix before. imm sure the application will be fine, i just need to know where to expect my hair to be in the color chart. are we talkin orange? and then after i get to whatever stage i get too, what would i use to get it to a warm medium brown? sorry i seem to have so much hair drama, but i really do need advice.
