How To Fade Hair Colour

cheaper though ;p

Without a doubt, definitely cheaper!

Don't know about availability outside the US but L'oreal's EverCreme cleansing conditioner really pulls out semi permanent colors. It doesn't leave the hair feeling rough or dry either. I had to stop using it on the colored parts of my hair because it removed so much color, my temples, roots and hairline would be blonde after just one wash.

Weird.  After I read this I went out and bought it because my hair is pissed at me for shampooing so much(trying to fade my color, usually co wash).  When I saw a co wash that could potentially strip my color I was so excited!  But alas, it did not pull out any color.  It is nice for co wash, my hair felt very clean and soft - but not for taking out color unfortunately.

Gonna try to fade my purple. GOnna try to mix up vit c tablets and clarifying shampoo. In theory: it should be awesome.

Edit: Well, that did absolutely NOTHING for my haircolor.. 🙁

I combined several fading treatments into one and I am freaking amazed at how well it has worked. I made it into a separate topic but figured I should post a link to it here so people searching can find it on here too since this is such a popular topic 🙂

I just put on a fading recipe. If I remember I put something like 3 dessert spoons lemon juice, the same amount washing liquid, some olive oil (yes I'm so scared about dryness, I'll even do a hot oil treatment after this one), a splash of conditioner, liquid Marseille soap (it's from a city in France, it's traditional), herbal essence shampoo (I read something it faded hair colour so I gave it a go).
It's all under a towel right now should I put it under plastic film?

If your hair is more resistant or you have a tighter, more compact cuticle, you'll probably get better results if you keep it covered so the added heat from your scalp stays trapped

I've been doing vitamin c mixed with dish soap and it works great but I absolutely hated how it made my hair feel when trying to wash it out. All squiggy and stuff.  So when I was cleaning the house I saw a bottle of my son's Johnson's baby shampoo(he's recently moved on to fruity smelling shampoos) and decided to try mixing that in with the dish soap and vitamin c.  Even just a little bit made my hair feel super soft while rinsing and afterwards. No squiggy feeling and it still works on fading out my color.

Right, went to Tesco and got Baking Soda... Gonna give this a try tonight... Let u know how I get on

Ok, so I've now done the baking soda + anti dandruff shampoo thing twice! yes, it has faded the colour somewhat, it's now a combination of blonde, mint green(which is actually quite nice) and a darker blue. Any tips on how many times a girl has to do this treatment for full pastel fade? I want my silvery/ purple back! Plus my hair is now dry as a bone, have coconut oil in as I type.

Hope it's ok posting this in here.

What is best at fading blue/green.  I dyed my hair alpine green and rose red before Christmas, the red was all but gone within like a week it feels but the alpine is the bane of my life and will not go away.

I guess there isn't a specific method that will fade blue or green more than others. You just have to try them out...

Last year my hair was stained green and what helped fading the colour was camomile shampoo (no specific brand, all brands would work - especially the ones that had camomile and lemon too) and sea water.

Hi all,

Long time lurker here.  First I want to thank each and every one of you beautiful ladies for sharing your knowledge and experience on this forum.  It's because of all of you that I had the courage to do my OWN hair, and it's also because of all your collective knowledge that I have healthy hair today.  😀

After years of short hair, I decided to grow mine out long (mostly because I'm lazy). As you know, longer hair means being a lot more careful with the condition of it when changing color.  I just tried this method and took before/after pics & wanted to share because I was really impressed at what it did to take the pink out.

I started out with a bunch of bright colors, then I spent two weeks on the playa for Burning Man.  The alkaline dust there gets into everything and really trashed the condition of my hair (see photo 2), I thought I was going to have to cut it all off.  The dust and sun faded it all out to pink and minty green. I tried the recommendations elsewhere on the forum for hair TLC, and managed to get it back to feeling like real hair again.  But after 2 months, I now needed to remove the remaining color, gently. I used fade techniques I usually use, which normally includes a gentle bleach bath. Because my hair had been so trashed, I tried this technique instead (*edit - see link below) and was really impressed with how much of the famously stubborn atomic pink it pulled out (the electric lizard seems more difficult to fade, but I am going back to emerald/turquoise so I'm not so worried about it). 

I did a coconut/olive oil treatment, left it in overnight, and then applied the bleach/shampoo/oil mixture, avoiding the roots and areas that got the most damage.  I worked it in as recommended, slapped the cling film on and used a hot towel left it on for about 20 minutes before rinsing.  My hair feel dry after, so I put on some mane & tail conditioner and left it in for about an hour before rinsing, then worked in a little pure argan oil.  At the end of it, my hair doesn't feel any worse than when I started.  I thought I was either stuck with pink, or would certainly risk serious damage. I think after another go, I will be back to my base, meaning I won't have to bleach bath the lengths!  Yay! 

Thank You Lovely Ladies of the Bee Unique Hair Dye Forum!  My gratitude and appreciation for all your advice on this and other threads cannot be overstated.

Hey, I hope you're still here)))
I see that the discussion isn't quite new, but I want to do something like this and I need your advice! Do you have a video tutorial?
I have two friends who used to work as hairdressers, but they both say that they're not sure...
But I want
