[Sticky] Colour B4 Information

Do not mix it with the peroxide as you will be double processing.  Just use the remover on its own, wash several times and make sure it's a few days between your last wash and the BB.

Thought this might help someone...
Used cb4 extra today on faded turquoise started out like this

Then went

Hasn't got rid of the colour, but I think a bb in a week will work well 🙂

Ahh that's a brilliant result!  It's faded it quite a bit.

It really is lighter in real life too 🙂

oooo i quite like that colour =)

I've got jo baz on my head atm (btw it STINKS!)

I'm trying to remove a really really stupid mistake I made. Faded my turquoise so it was really pale and then bb which made the mid-lengths super green and the rest kinda blonde so I stuck miji contrast (or whatever its called) in magenta with directions flamingo pink mixed together over it. It looked dark in the pot but apparently I used too much FP and it came out an uneven neon washy pink. I hate it. I love deep pinks like cerise and this is way to light. Its like a neon baby pink with weird greeny-purple bits.

I also have Decolour remover by scott cornwell, it says it removes semis as well as permanents. Do you think I'll end up needing to use it?

there really is no way of telling until you've washed it out & its dry.

so did you bleach bath and then apply a peroxide based dye? thats bad for your hair =( also if you mixed the peroxide based dye with FP that coukd be why it's wishy washy

I didn't mix it with the peroxide, I just used it outta the tube and mixed it with FP. It says on it that it contains ammonia but I kinda thought that'd be okays with a semi cause I wasn't adding any bleach. Is that still bad for my hair? 🙁 I need to pay more attention to what I'm doing. I'm only checking the ingredients now! Feel kinda stupid for thinking it wouldn't be damaging without the bleach mixed in 🙁

If you didn't use the peroxide, this could explain why it didn't work very well.  The majicontrast dyes are designed to be used with a peroxide developer as they're a lift-and-deposit dye.  They can be used without peroxide, but they're still meant to be mixed to get the right consistency.  I've heard of people mixing them with water to get the consistency right if they didn't want to use the peroxide, but haven't tried this myself. 

Well it evened out the colour a LOT and faded the green to a lilic/lavander colour which is still kinda obvious but nowhere near as bad. It took some of the roots back to the blonde it was before I dyed it so over all a really good result! 😀

my hairs this bright yellow, it has toned down alot over the last two weeks 😀 hot lava has stained my hair, i was wondering if colour b4 would affect it? or anyone whose had a similar colour to me and it worked sucessfully x

hey, just a quick question: you know the way you're advised to leave a few washes between color b4 and bleaching, so it doesn't re-oxidise and make your hair dark again? can going swimming re-oxidise color b4 then, as chlorine acts as a bleach?

ooo you answer a lot of the questions i had about this product - thank you!

That's a good question!  I'm not entirely certain, as I don't know what the chemical reaction is that produces the reoxidiation.  I'm guessing it's the peroxide that does it, but again that's just a guess.

This stuff worked for me, my hair was black/brown and one use got it too a light brown colour so I was surprised and my hair was left in a good condition too!
