Colour b4 extra strength review

Pretty sure I've already read this somewhere a while ago, but can't find it again and want to check!

Am I right that a bleach bath can be done pretty much straight after these colour-removing products?

Also, does anyone know if it's tested on animals? I've emailed but no reply...

Ta!

nono!
the bleach, infact any colour, will re-oxidise your old colour if yo do it too soon after colour b4 and make it all come back.
rinse for a longggggg tim,i usually add 5minutes on to every step that they recommend and wait a week before doing anything!

ooo okay...good job I checked! Thank you =]

lol no prob sorry my post was a bit bossy just was trying to type really fast incase you accidently went ahead and had wasted your money on the colourb4! 🙂

Ah no, I need my hair far too much to rush into things =P

I'll have to invest in a nice hat...hate the between-dying-massive-roots-patchy-mess phase.

I wanna use this but i'm not sure it's gunna work, because my natural colour is dark brown so I bleach my hair to get the crazy colours to go and so far I've had purple ,every pink under the sun, then turquoise and now I had the girl who asked me to be a hair model put a permanent mid-dark reddy brown on my hair and then a purple over the top, I've got pictures in the natural hair colour section, but i'm hoping and praying i'll use this stuff and it'll take the colours out and hopefully it'll be gingery/blonde because I wanna change my hair colour. I've no clue whether it'll work or if i'll be wasting my time!

It should work, particularly as you've only had one application of the brown.  I used it after having black streaks for a month and it lifted my black streaks to a soft brown colour and it took my years of red to a golden blonde (I have natural ash brown and don't use heat styling, so no real staining/ginger to go through)--I should imagine it will lift the brown and you'll end up with quite possibly pink/ginger hair, as you used atomic pink which sticks like glue.

hi , i put xxl live - raspberry rebel on to my high lighted blonde hair ( natural colour is dirty blonde)
it took my blonde really bright and my roost a more deep purple i was wondering if this would work on my hair and what colour it might come out also what todo after i have used colour before ? i just want to go a more natural  xx

Colour b4 is designed more for permanent dyes with developer rather than for semi dyes.  However, alot of our members have had good results removing semi dyes with the Scott Cornwall Decolour remover (not the stripper - the stripper contains peroxide), but results of any colour remover on a semi dye tend to be hit and miss, as they're not designed to remove semis.  There are loads of methods for fading semi dyes in this thread: http://www.hairdyeforum.com/index.php?topic=1704.0 and some tips for going back to natural shades in this one: http://www.hairdyeforum.com/index.php?topic=8287.0
I'd suggest trying some of the fading methods to take the colour down to a lighter shade, then covering with a natural shade veggie dye like one of the Adore colours.

I am really sad, colour b4 extra strength worked really well, I followed the instructions adding extra rinse time, 2 days later and my hair has reoxidised 🙁

WOW! I am going to use this to get my red out and if I get similar results them I'll be the happiest girl in the whole world! It worked well on my perm black 18 months ago but I have loads of different veggie reds on this head of mine so it's great to see! Thanks for sharing!

Hoping and praying that this will get out my faded SFX Candy Apple Red... I have used it before with great results on both XXL red passion and a semi perm dark brown. I wasn't going to bother trying but I reckon it's worth a go if some people have had it work for their veggie dye.
My red must go... A girl at work has decided not only to have pretty much the same haircut as me but the same colour as well.... Plus the fact we have to wear a uniform we look like a right pair of tits... *ott*
Ha ha! Not 100% sure what colour to go next but if she changes hers again I'm shaving it all off!

Turquoise goes nice over faded pinky colours

Hey there! After a few disastrous sessions with different types of bleach I came across colour b4.
My hair is dyed black on top atm (last coloured at xmas) I am desperate to go pink for holidays but dont want to completely ruin it with bleach.
If I use colour b4 will it take it light enough to take a pink? When I do the underside I usually try for a light ginger then it seems to take the pink quite well. Please help me!! :laugh: *anyone*

If you're lucky you may get to ginger(you can use them three times) If not then do weekly bleach baths. You only need a ginger base for a vibrant pink, so you'll be fine =)
