How to take semi permanent color out of hair?

Are you tired of your hair color fading away quickly after spending hours at the salon? Have you accidentally dyed your hair a shade that’s just not for you? Don’t worry, we’ve all been there. Fortunately, there are some tried and tested techniques to remove semi-permanent hair color from your locks without causing damage or breaking the bank!

The Science Behind Semi-Permanent Hair Dye

Before diving into removal methods, let’s understand what makes semi-permanent dyes different from permanent ones.

Semi-permanent colors don’t penetrate deep into the cuticle layer but instead sit on top and gradually fade with each wash. Therefore, they can be naturally washed out over time but might need a little help if you’re in a hurry! They also come in bright and bold hues which look great initially but may require regular upkeeps in case they fade quickly.

On the other hand, permanent dye completely penetrates every strand of your hair making it challenging to reverse its effects easily. Hence, it is best reserved for long-lasting transformations.

Let’s Get Started – Methods To Remove That Color!

These tips below will help restore the natural color back to dull strands without blindly reaching for harsh chemicals off-the-rack:

1) Clarifying Shampoo

Clarifying shampoo is typically used once a week or so by people who live in areas with hard water build-up as it gives an extra thorough cleanse compared to typical shampoos.

However! It’s also perfect if applied repeatedly right after coloring when combined with warm water rinses (it restores PH levels!) as it helps open up cuticles allowing water penetration deeper inside and flushing out any undesired pigmentation lurking about.

2) Baking Soda & Lemon Juice

A soothing mixture of baking soda mixed with fresh lemon juice has been known as an effective method for fading semi-permanent hair color. All you require is a paste of squeezed lemons in baking soda which won’t just remove the discoloration but also keep your mane healthy.

3) Dish Soap & Baking Soda

Dish soap (yep- that bright green detergent we use to do our dishes!) mixed with baking soda can be rubbed into wet hair and rinsed out after thirty minutes with lots of lukewarm water! This combo acts like a potent cleanser pulling off any extra coloring from cuticles without irritating the scalp.

4) Anti-Dandruff Shampoo

Used best when combined with warm coconut oil, anti-dandruff shampoo penetrates deep inside each strand helping dislodge impurities leaving your hair squeaky clean (no flakes here!). The interaction between dandruff shampoos Zinc Pyrithione molecules and residual pigment creates an enhanced cleansing action.

How Long Do These Methods Usually Take?

For most people, the above methods will show results within two weeks as some pigments may stubbornly sit tight (they’re not going out without a fight!) making it near impossible for those quicker solutions in ads to work!

If youre still unsuccessful, try repeating the process every five days until desiring results are seen but be sure to give your scalp nourishment using conditioners/oils more frequently during this period as all these ingredients might cause dryness temporarily!

But What if None Of These Work?

Although rare!, what if none of these natural remedies work or take too long? It’s time for harsher chemicals on the scene then-

A Final Word of Advice

Now DON’T panic if you encounter some mishaps along the way as it might take a few trials to get your desired result although persist with caution as too much chemical usage could damage hair- after-all natural remedies are the safest and healthiest options.
