I haven't used Colour B4 because it contains dimethicone, but I don't think it's that the product is "dangerous" (Why would it be on sale anywhere, otherwise?)

The Extreme is more than likely stronger and made to work on darker colours, but keep in mind that you might not get every single bit of colour out if you use hair products with silicones in them (Evil dimethicone etc etc).

Also, if your roots are darker than your coloured bits, the Colur B4 will lighten them as that's how products like that work.

I'd also highly recommend typing "b4" in the search bar and reading the topics and posts in the results, as well as the FAQ and the Colour B4 thread.
You're bound to find someone's experience in there!

It shouldn't destroy your hair as long as you're *very* careful and follow the instructions to the letter. I'd advise  not washing your hair for however long it takes for it to go greasy and/or applying something like coconut oil before using the product to protect your scalp [That's what I've done when I've bleached and/or stripped my hair in the past].

I always use the extra strength ones. All colour removers work by shrinking or shattering the artificial colour molecules so they can wash out. It won't affect your natural colour.
It isn't damaging in itself, but it is extremely drying. If your hair is very fragile this can cause damage. You can do a strand test to check before committing your whole head.
It is a good product, and the only way to get permanent dye out safely.
I am not convinced that the 'extra strength' version is actually 'stronger'. the regular strength says to leave in for 20 minutes, extra strength says and hour, I think the difference is in the processing time only.

It spreads really well (has a funny texture a bit like egg white) I need a box and a half for all my hair which is pretty long and very dense

Heat sources may make the product work harder, but it's up to you. Do you have any photos of your current colour and/or what colour you ultimately want?

You actually need to have your hair squeaky clean before using colour b4, otherwise out won't work as well.

Coconut oil ave having dirty hair are advisable when using bleach as they protect the hair and scalp from damage.

You don't need to use heat but you must keep it warm. So wrap in a shower cap or bag and then in a towel to keep the heat in. I do usually wave a hairdryer over it before I put the towel on

Ah, thanks for that! Sorry for the misinformation. I just thought that was the case with all chemical processes.

redneck, don't listen to me! I talk out of my arse

Haha don't worry about it!  I just had to point that out because the colour remover wouldn't work otherwise.

Coconut oil is only effective in processes that involve oxidation, so bleach, permanent or demi-permanent dyes, colour strippers, anything that requires bleach powder or developer (peroxide)

Aaaah, that explains it! Thank you ^-^

I assumed this because I had dirty hair when I used the Scott Cornwall.

Oh, um. Redneck, have you done a test strand?
