Hello everybody!
I currently have an urgent problem. My green hair is fading (from direction colors, like spring green, flourscent glow and some more...) and I got tired of how fast Direction colors fade on my hair (I'm not even using shampoo to clean my hair, I clean it with only conditioners!), so I decided I want to use Special Effects colors (because I've hade very good experience with them).
So I go to "bee unique" store and it seems that thoose colors are out of stock, I wait a couple of days and then I see on the website that SFX are only shipping 15 of their shades, and green&yellow are not included. I've even checked other Swedish stores but NONE have those colors in stock!
*ott*
So yeah. Does anyone have any information on when theese haircolors wil return? I would like to have pretty hair for my birthday-party atleast (13th September)...
I'm also thinking of a Plan B (if the SFX colors wont return for a short time)...
I was thinking of going pastel/blond if it all screws up, so, does anyone have any info on how Color B4 works on faded green hair? Is it hard to remove green colors? Never had this color before so I dont know!
(This is how my hair looked newly dyed, its very faded, like a darker paste green-blue colors: 
My top-half hair is this color faded (dont know why it faded that way lol):

So thank you anyone who has any information to share about this! And sorry if my english is weird, it's in the morning here in Sweden and I didn't sleep well *stars*
Hugs and Kisses,
Eliza

There is an ongoing issue with SFX dyes: http://www.hairdyeforum.com/index.php?topic=10818.0
I recommend dying your hair with directions a few days before your birthday so the colour is still vibrant & keep an eye out for when SFX is restocked.

Thank you Sia!! Thank you so much for the update, I've read the whole post and it seems this problem has been going on for QUITE some time. And I will think about it if I want to use directions one last time, but the tought of pastel is kind of speaking to me now (lol).
So now my only question is if Colour B4 (strong) works good on faded green hair.

Colour removers are not designed to be used on direct dyes, so the results can be a bit unpredictable. If it is going to work it works best on very faded colours IME.

I used it on green, it worked ok but not amazing. personally I'd use directions for your bday and then try for pastel after. if it goes bad, you'll be upset that it's poop for your celebrations. I know I would be.
as regard sex. they're becoming pretty useless . which is a shame as they're so good. hopefully all their issues get sorted asap.

Wicked Pixie: I've have very good results with Colour B4 thou! I once had faded dark purple hair and it removed everything! Got back to light blond (except some green streaks lol) So I'm hoping to get a good result again!
Pippachainsaw: Here is a picture of my hair right now:
Its faded yellow-green at the roots and blue-green at the ends, do you think Color B4 might still work or do I need to fade it more?
Thank you all again for your help! 🙂

I have nothing useful to add here but I think your hair looks incredible.

Because of the mad results I've had from colour removers I would do a light bleach bath on it to be honest.

Meeshybop: Did you have green hair when you got the "mad" results?
Hi there everybody!!
So let me give you an update to what is going on with my hair right now:
I bought the "Color B4" and used it, but unfortunatly it did not do quite as well as I hoped. So I had to bleach it, which completly turned it white! Only my roots are abit yellow-ish, but other than that I am soo happy! I think the Color B4 "opend up" my hair so it was easier for the bleach to take on it. I have currently a conditioning mask in my hair that I will keep over night and the in the morning I will be able to show you how my hair looks like.
Thank you agian for all your help!! You've all been great 🙂 <3

I think when meeshy hit a colour remover once she went a blue colour from pink! (i'll never forget this , one day i'll try it lol)

It went white? That's not really a good thing. We don't advise ever bleaching to white; white hair is usually fried hair 🙁

Intempestivity: I really doesnt feel fried. I am a "No Poo:er" (which is short for "no shampoo" nothing to do with your toilet time haha!) and I just wash my hair with conditioner so it gets really moisturized. Also once a week I do an oil treatment to my hair.
But maybe my hair falls out in the future, we'll see ^__^ Im not really that worried tbh haha!
