My journey into removing black hair dye

[Tessa LeTaunt {★}]

So, as much as I didn't want to get chemicals involved in my want to remove all black dye from my hair, I gave in and decided to anyway. Rather than fading it gradually by taking the "soap cap" route or even just rinsing with Dawn dish soap occasionally, I just went after it all at once with a color remover.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then followed it up with bleach.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is what my hair looked like just a few days ago...

Big difference! And my hair isn't even slightly damaged! I obviously haven't removed 100% of the black dye from my hair yet, but it's getting there. I plan to continue using the same bleach I'd used before, and just fade it out gradually. I'm not a fan of the unnatural blonde color AKA yellow, so I'll be happy as long as that fades as well.

If anyone has any tips or tricks, that'd be amazing! I just know I'd seen a few posts about black hair dye removal, and had even posted something about it myself once, so there's my story and progress on the subject.

I also made a video which goes a little further in depth to all of what was just mentioned, if anyone should want to check it out. =0]

A little more on the vibrant side, but it's still fresh, so it'll fade. No more solid black, though, so I am pleased. =0D

Annnnd, this concludes my journey!
