How to wash the paint off the hair yourself

What to do if the color turned out to be completely “not yours”? The main thing is not to panic! This article is your salvation!

To begin, I would like to say that it is rather difficult to wash off the dye from the hair. Sometimes even experienced masters can’t wash the paint off at once, not to mention self-cleaning. Yes, and the result may be unpredictable.

Just remember that the procedure of washing the paint is very harmful to the hair, dries it, so get ready that after it you will have to restore the hair with nourishing and healing masks.

Consider two types of washing hair dye at home

1 way. Paint remover by professional means

In professional stores special hair washes are sold that can be used independently. At one time it is hardly possible to wash off the color. Some will need up to 5 washes, and sometimes more. About 2-3 tones are washed off with each use.

Popular hair washes:• “Remake Color”, Hair Light • “Art Color Off”, Vitalitys • “Color off”, Estel • “Colorianne Color System”, Brelil • “Backtrack”, Paul Mitchel • Vitality's Bleaching Oil

The second way. Washing paint with natural products

It is also possible to wash the dye from the hair with folk methods, there are quite a lot of them, according to women, I will present the most effective list here:

• Masks with vegetable oils - for this you will need to mix several fatty oils (these can be olive, jojoba, burdock, almond, avocado oil, etc.) and apply them to your hair. To enhance the effect, you can add a little brandy to the oils. This mask must be held for a long time - about 3 hours, so that there is a visible effect. After that, the hair is thoroughly washed with shampoo and rinsed with water and lemon juice.

• Household and tar soap also contribute to color washing. The disadvantage of this tool is that these soaps dry hair strongly, so after bathing you must use a balm or a mask.

• Sour milk, kefir and mayonnaise are another good way to wash away paint. To do this, heat the selected product and apply on hair for 1.5 hours.

• If after washing or coloring you have a greenish tint, then aspirin tablets will help you to get rid of it: take 5 aspirin tablets and dissolve them in a glass of water. Rinse the hair and wait 15-20 minutes. It is desirable to moisturize the hair.

• If you regularly rinse the hair with a decoction of chamomile, the color may become lighter.

• You can wash off the paint with ordinary soda. For this, 1 tsp. soda mix with shampoo and apply to hair. But such a tool has many drawbacks: firstly, it dries the hair stronger than washing, and secondly, the color is washed off very unevenly.

• Masks with honey brighten hair perfectly. Especially acacia honey. But for this honey must be kept for about 8-10 hours. It is better to leave honey overnight on the hair, wrapping it with a film and a warm cloth, wash it off in the morning. If you make this mask every day, then in a short time you can wash the paint off the hair. This method is considered one of the most effective and gentle. In addition, honey has a good effect on hair.
