How to Strip Hair Color at Home
If you recently dyed your hair and did not achieve the color you were expecting it is possible to strip the color from your hair and start the process over again. There is no good reason why you should be unhappy with the way your hair color looks.
Stripping an undesirable hair color from your hair can be easily done by following a few simple steps, but it should be done as soon as possible to get the best results. If you allow the coloring to stay on your hair for more than 24 hours it will become much harder to remove.
- Rinse your hair with hot water. The water should be as hot as you can stand without it burning your scalp. Hot water should be used because it opens up your hair follicles, which allows the coloring to drain out.
