I'm not sure I have to post this here, but my boyfriend just buy some Alep soap for his dandruff and psoriaris, and as he have green hair, he found that his hair has fading with using Alep soap just one time.
I was surprised because his green stick so well to his hair, and it was about 1 month the color don't move a tint. *puzz*
So, girls, if ou want to fade your hair quite quick and well, use Alep soap ! π
i know it's probably bad to wash your hair with soap buttttt...
if you get a bar of soap, in my experience imperial later works the best and simple does not work,
and rub it down the lengths of your hair then use the suds like a normal shampoo working it in with your hands you can fade colour nicely.
this worked for me on a semi orange, red, perm brown & 'perm' blue.
it depends of the soap, the Alep soap is the better soap for all your body, specially if you have eczema or psoriaris.
But I remember I had wash my red hair with a simple bar of soap I found in my bathroom, and it works too. But it leave my hair like straw.
My boyfriend's hair are fine now, I think we never use normal shampoo again. I just find there was silicone in one of my prefered shampoo π
i tried coconut oil to fade my red hair (and to feed them if i can say) and it works, slowly but surely! π
I have I Love Juicy and vitamin C on my hair now to shift this Directions Flamingo Pink and Violet. I hope it does the job, otherwise green it out of the question for Xmas π
it's seems like it's fading time xD
i have Color Off (color remover) on my head right now^^
Gaaaah! This hair dye must be more stubborn than the whole of my family put together!! So much pink and purple water came from my head when I rinsed it but I still have so much pink in my hair!! SO annoying! Bleach bathing it is then...
Pink and Red are so hard to fade!
i did my "color off" twice, (i made a topic with pictures of the fading process),
it work a little but not enough!
i'll bleach bath it in a week...

Is it worth trying decolour remover or is that a no go?
I've had success with Decolour Remover on all the Directions colours I've used it on (Midnight Blue, Plum, Dark Tulip and errr something else - oh SFX Blue Velvet) but it takes two or three goes. And Plum goes blue on the first go!
I've been using a mixture of lemon juice, coconut oil, fairy liquid and head & shoulders on my hair once a week and leaving it on for about 2/3 hours but there's still one piece of baby pink that won't budge π and don't seem to be fading at all.. Am I doing something wrong? What would u guys say is the most effective fading technique?x
with baby pink I bbath when fading wont work anymore. low vol + coconut oil and you'll be fine.
Ahhh alright, thanks love π x
np π i found 1 or 2 bbaths was less damaging than endless vit c/ fairy liquid. just my opinion tho π
Just a note on the Vitamin C method. It's says "strong" tablets but without a specific strength not everyone's going to know what that is. I work in a pharmacy/chemist and some vitamins we sell actually say "strong" on the bottle (Vitamin B compound for example) however Vit C does not. I looked into it and it can come in strengths varying from 250-1500mg but not all shops will stock all strengths so if a place only has 250mg for example someone who didn't know better might think that's a strong dosage.
Perhaps a note can be put on the first post suggesting people try and find between 1000-1500mg to give them a better idea of what they are looking for. I know I found it confusing before my current job!
I'm personally trying this method tonight and I bought these ones today from Holland and Barrett (my chemist was out of stock of this strength, doh). They are effervescent too which should make mixing it with shampoo easier.
