Coloring your hair is a fun way to change your appearance, but sometimes it can be catastrophic. Fortunately, there are many ways you can try to fade the color of your hair.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Shampoo

1. 

   Wash your hair as soon as you finish dyeing your hair. If you want your hair to be a dark color, you should wash your hair a few days after dyeing it. However, to fade the color of your hair, you'll need to wash your hair right after dyeing. The easiest way to fade your dye is to quickly wash your hair after it's finished.

2. 

   
   
   Use a deep cleansing shampoo. You will need to use a shampoo with strong cleansing properties that can remove the color from your hair. Choose a clear shampoo instead of the opaque one. Massage the shampoo into your hair so that it's evenly spread from the roots to the ends.
   • The Clear shampoo is said to fade dye faster.
   • You could also try a dandruff shampoo that contains tar.
   • However, the results will vary depending on the type of hair, the brightness of the hair color, and the type of dye you use (such as permanent, moderate or temporary adhesion).

3. 

   
   
   Wash your hair with hot water. The temperature helps to remove the dye from the hair. Washing and rinsing hair with hot water will remove the color and give it a brighter color.

4. 

   Continue to wash your hair. Repeat washing with deep cleansing shampoo a few more times before drying your hair. Check the results to see if your hair has faded away and the color you want. Continue washing your hair more often than usual. After a few weeks, your hair will gradually fade. If you don't get the results you want, switch to another method to fade your hair color.

5. 

   
   
   Remember to use conditioner for your hair. Washing your hair repeatedly with deep cleansing shampoo will dry out your hair. Make sure to use a lot of conditioner so you won't do much damage to your hair.
   • Incubate your hair with coconut oil once a week to prevent split ends and frizz.
   • Once you're satisfied with your hair color, go through a deep conditioning treatment and rest your hair for a few days before washing it.

Method 2 of 3: Bring hair to the environment

1. 

   Out in the sun. Sunlight has the ability to naturally lighten and fade hair. Sun exposure will gradually give your hair a lighter color.

2. 

   Go to the beach. Seawater will help remove the dye from your hair. If you swim in the ocean a few times a week, you will notice the color fade over time.

3. 

   Swim in the swimming pool. Chlorine has the ability to bleach and fade hair after a long exposure time. However, this method is not good for hair, so do not overdo it if you can choose other methods. Chlorine in addition to fading hair also makes hair tangled and frizzy.
   • After swimming, use a deep cleansing shampoo to remove the chlorine from your hair.

Method 3 of 3: Use a hair color remover

1. 

   Use chemical dye remover. You should only choose to use this product when there is no other way because the chemicals are so strong on your hair, leading to frizz and split ends. If you dye your hair dark, this product will help lighten it. Follow the instructions on the product packaging to treat your hair with a dye remover, then rinse your hair and check the results. Repeat this method as needed.
   • Try a dye remover on the hard-to-see area before using it to treat your entire hair.
   • Hair dye removers are not very effective on light dyed hair, but only for dark dyed hair.
   • After using a dye remover, do a deep conditioning treatment for strong, healthy hair.
   • Not everyone can see the effect of using dye remover. You should research different brands to find the right products for your hair and the type of dye you use.

2. 

   Try baking soda. This is a natural remedy for dark dyes from your hair. You will stir 1/2 cup baking soda with 1/2 cup water to make a paste. Massage the mixture into your hair and let it sit for about 15 minutes, then rinse with hot water. Repeat this method several times until you have the desired color.
   • Incubate your hair with conditioner after using baking soda as it removes the natural oils from your hair.

3. 

   Make your own dye bleach at home. This should be done within 30 minutes of dying your hair.
   • Stir in 1 tablespoon of bleach with 25mm peroxide 40 vol / 6% and some shampoo.
   • Apply dye remover to wet hair. Proceed as you would with regular shampoo.
   • Massage your hair for 3 to 5 minutes. Take care not to get the bleach in your eyes!
   • Check your hair in a mirror to see if your hair is lighter.
   • Rinse your hair clean. Pat dry with a towel. Finally, apply conditioner to your hair or perform hair care treatments.

Advice

• Do the dye removal method on hair as soon as possible for the best results. Your hair will be noticeably bright after 72 hours and then the dye removal will be ineffective.
• Seek a hairdresser if you are still not satisfied with your hair color when trying to remove it. You can call your vocational center to see if you can model a technique for dyeing corrections. It is usually less expensive to treat hair at vocational schools than it is to go to a hair salon.
