QuoteReplyTopic: How much damage will. . . . Posted: July 23 2005 at 9:51pm
Hey guys
It seems that a lot of you have had a great deal of experience with stripping hair of dyes with oh so many different products.. so I pose you all a question before I go to the salon next month. Actually a few questions!
1.How much/what kind of damage should I expect to see (I'm dealing with virgin blonde hair which was recently dyed a rich brown) to get my hair lightened to a golden honey by a color expert in a salon?
2. Are there any ways i could minimize the damage?
3. Are there any products that I could request to be used on my hair which cause less damage?
If any of you could give me some advice that would be great!
Depending of what kind of dye your hair was dyed with, you can bring a
box of Colorfix with you and request they use that to remove the
color. It's low in peroxide so its not too terrible for hair, and
is much better than if they just try to bleach it. (I'd call and ask
them how they would remove the color and if they would be willing to
use colorfix on you if you brought it - or if they already do).
I'm no pro so I forget what kind of dye colorfix won't remove - I think
Feria was one problem. Someone else can better answer this
question.
If it will work, and they will use it for you, they may use it once or
twice, and it will turn your hair orange or yellow (they will probably
want to do it until it goes yellow since you want blonde), and then
they can dye a natural looking blonde color over it.

I had no idea where to start and you've given me something to look into- colorfix. Where can you buy this? (Just incase they do not have it at the salon). How does it work?
Also, I've heard of a product that "shrinks" color molecules so they wash out. I'm not sure of where I heard about this product but does anyone else know anything about it? It sounds like an option so save my hair!
Here is
some info on colorfix (though the picture is a little misleading, you
MIGHT get your natural color back after using colorfix, but many dyes
bleach hair a little when they dye it because of the peroxide in the
mix, so you more likely would get a shade of orange or yellow and have
to re-dye afterwards). You can pick it up at a Sally or other
beauty supply shop. This shrinks color molecules and is probably
the product you heard about.

I have no clue! I've heard others on this board mention that if
you ask them beforehand and bring your own box with you, they are often
willing to use the product you want, even if they don't normally stock
it. Anyone else know?
