I have been a hairdresser for 25 years, and I have to commend you for taking on such a big project. Mostly, I have to say that you did very good research and you did everything correctly. I think this video will really help a lot of people. You are 100% correct in that bleach will drive "direct dyes" farther into the hair. Well done!! Love the blonde!!
I dyed my hair with a Demi permanent brown in the beginning of August after having my hair white blonde for quite sometime, will color oops bring it back to somewhat what it was before? My hair is slowly lightening but I haven't been washing it much at all.
@@samstokes3968 when you bleach your hair you open up the hair follicle to remove any natural color in it, but if there is already color on top the bleach will open up the cuticle and in return the color will deposit even further into your hair.
I am a licensed cosmetologist. Do NOT use dish soap in your hair. Clarifying shampoo of dandruff shampoo works just fine. Dish soap will destroy your hair.
Jessica thank you I was literally about to use dish soap to get red out. It sounded like a bad idea in my head but I was like "well... I hear about a lot of people doing it" glad I read this comment before I did it
anyone here from being bored in quarantine and you dyed your hair 😂😂 edit: i only just realised i got so many likes and comments edit: I dyed my front two bits red (i’m blonde) and now nearly a year later and it still hasn’t come out…. the front two pieces are brown/red in some lights🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
I know this was posted years ago. But I'd suggest using maximum strength color oops, and when you wash it out you're supposed to shampoo like 5 times, that's what helps remove the red. I used it, and I had no red left in my hair. Just for anyone wondering.
I just used color oops. Last time I bleached my hair was about 2 years ago. 8 months ago I dyed it red. I never touched it up because I knew shortly after I'd want to go back to blond. So after 8 months it was very dull with about 4 inches of roots grown in. After using color oops 1 time - the red was out. It was brassy, but no more red. It also DID NOT dry my hair out at all. That being said, my hair was pretty healthy from not touching it &using coconut oil &I really do believe that only washing my hair 3 times a week really helped my natural oils help my hair strengthen.
My son was talking to my while I typed that so I know it's kind of all over the place! Sorry! My point was - if your hair is pretty healthy the Color Oops shouldn't dry it out too much!
@@alexandramadeira4345 I only wash my hair every couple days, and I have pretty thick strong healthy hair. It's mostly faded red and I have naturally golden blonde hair... again it's already super faded, more of a light brown with a small bit of red in it. Do you think it'll work with color oops?
@@RubyForsgren it is very possible, since your hair is natural the bleach is going to remove the natural pigment easily. I would recommend bleach and a toner. My favorite brand is schwarzkopf blonde me
Girls I'm about to end up bald. I wish I didn't dye my hair red, it's too high maintenance. I'd love to be blonde again but damaged my hair going red 😫
Your stories always give me flashbacks, Sam! I remember going to a salon after my red faze desperately wanting blonde, such a difficult color to get rid of- and, i really think it’s one of the easiest transformations (from red to blonde) to mess up!!!

To anyone who wants to get red out of your hair without any products, go swimming in a pool with chlorine a few times lol I did that last summer after I had freshly redone my red and it turned orange within a month, not the healthiest for your hair but imo it works lol
I'm a hairstylist and the only thing I'll say is highlight color is meant for Virgin hair. Color does not lift color. So in the future id skip that and go straight to bleach. Otherwise good job :)
she would've been better off picking up a clear haircolor but she was right as far as using a permanent color to lift. the ammonia lifts direct colors right out. at home, bleach should always be a last resort.
marinamarshmellow what did you end up doing? I also grew my hair from a shaved head, used box dye twice in 1 year. Now I'm ready to remove it to change to semi permanent colors but don't want to use bleach on my virgin hairs. Just remove the permanent red. I have about 4 inches of roots.
I have colored my hair for over 12 years with so many colors. When going from red to blonde, do not expect it to be an overnight process. I recommend if you are going for that goal, go to a salon. However you are better off transitioning from Red to Brown, Light Brown to Blonde. From what i see in this video, you did too much developing and processing. I am surprised your hair isn't damaged.
Hi love! This video popped up of yours from 7 years ago!! 😃 You mentioned in this video that you weren't a professional at the time but I know you are now. I thought it would be interesting if you did a reaction video to this one and discuss what you would do differently now as a professional hair stylist. Love and blessings. ☺️💕🙏🏼
@@giselavilanova9187 I tried vitamin c and head and shoulders last night & my red was too stubborn 😭 my hairs been red for years literally. It didn’t work for me
The Aphogee 2-step hair treatment works wonders for damaged hair. I use it when my hair feels spongy. Justy make sure not to wash it out.Only rinse it out. Follow the bottle directions to the t. Aphogee takes time,since you have to blowdry it in until your hair gets hard and dry.But it works. GFor seriously damaged hair, use once or twice in a row and you will notice a huge difference.My ends were stretching and breaking off before the treatment,then after the treatment they werent stretching anymore. Literally saved my hair.A large bottle is AT Sallys for about 25 dollars and will last a long time.each application lasts 6 weeks.But when my hair is very badly damaged,I personally use it every day for 2 or 3 days and hair ends up ,ike it was before I bleached it. Or close to it.
It's hard to lighten the markecia.. between root and middle hair shaft. You need to foil it by strand to do it to even the color. Then do the roots the last. Wash it, dry in dryer, then pick a blonde color you want, put first 1/2 inc away from roots after 15 min. Put through roots then after 10 min. Add the filler mix it the left over all over to even the color, give at least 10 min to rest. Then wash it.
Very nervous about my big hairdo undertaking, but appreciate the tutorial! You verified a lot of the info that I was finding on my own... my biggest concern was using color remover and then a bleach process, prior to dying with semi perm fashion color. I'm starting with undamaged hair, removing sort of a natural auburn brown permanent dye with color remover, then after the auburn red is gone, planning to balyage my ends and some midshaft with 20 developer and Blacklight lightening cream to lighten my naturally mid blonde to mid brown hair a few levels. Then once those areas are lighter blonde, applying a semi perm teal color. I did get a Bond Angel treatment to use with the color remover and bleach processes, as well as between and after... its similar to Oliplex, basically limits the damage from drying processes.. Crossing fingers! And when in doubt, if it goes wonky, straight to the hairdresser. lol Your blonde came out great, btw.
Wow, that’s a lot. I had used the L’Oréal hi color in magenta, and it faded quickly on some parts and looked bad where my roots grew in. I used Color Oops, and it took it all out, and my hair was already the color I wanted. It was 3-4 shades lighter from using the hi lift color.
Sam! I have always loved the blonde on you. It looks amazing on you. Your skin tone is gold and the blonde is beautiful on you! I want to go blonde so bad :( maybe in the summer! You're so informative. Love how you explain everything so thoroughly.
I am licensed and I just want to say by my experience if you have warm tones definitely get color oops works great! But if you have any bright colors get color off from Sally’s definitely works now the more vibrant it is it’s harder, so if you need to do it a second Time do so! It comes with a hair mask and a great one to. It’s pretty small tho. After you do that your hair is still going to have a staining color DO NOT BLEACH. Get dish soap purple shampoo and baking soda it works so good!! It gives your hair that icy blonde now I had to do the soap method about 3 times but I used permanent so that’s why. If you use SPLOT this will be so much harder. After that just bleach it one time and spot bleach it then you will have an icy blonde!
I'm always super nervious when I think of using bleech on my hair, and since my hair is long, I think that if I ever bleech it, I'll bleech it in quarters, that way no part is processing longer that the rest if that makes sence. You know that I'm planning to lighten my hair, but for now I think I'll try light brown and use a highlift color. The last time I dyed my hair was back in September, so with washing my hair I'm assuming that most of the beld up is gone. I'm still going to use a color remover but I'm guessing that one round of that would be enough. I might repeat the highlift color though :/
Hanan A I don't think you'll have any problem at all going lighter! Especially if you use a color remover. Depending on how easily your hair lifts, you might find that you won't even ever need to use bleach. High lift color can lighten your hair a lot, especially if you use it a few times.
PLEASE DONT LISTEN!!!!!!! as a hairdresser do not by any means do the first few steps yourself if you are going to a salon, please go as is we do not advise you to start stripping your hair on your own and come to us to finish it off. This is possibly the worst thing you can do. If you choose to become a blonde you can stay home and destroy yourself from beginning to end or come straight to a hairstylist to begin with this is your hair, so do not look to save a couple of bucks and completely destroy your hair and come to us as if we have a magic wand to rewind time. I’ve had plenty of times where I have turned people away because they went too far with their hair and already destroyed the integrity but people come with all colors dark bright, vibrant, red, and I get them the icy cool blonde they desire no it’s not gonna be cheap but if this is what you desire money should not be a factor if you’re concerned about it just keep your color as is but whatever you do do not listen to the given and this video!!!
color oops says on the box it is not for direct dyes. that is why it didn't achieve the desired lift. even after 2 uses. you need a direct dye lifter as that step instead. starting off with the healthiest hair possible always gives the healthiest results. it's pretty crucial to drag out that washing and deep conditioning in the beginning. wear hats, your hair up, try to style it to conceal the fading as you use really warm water and maybe even a bit of baking soda mixed into your dandruff or clerical shampoo. I wouldn't recommend using "cheap" shampoo as the sulphate will damage and dry. if possible do an olaplex treatment before the direct dye lifter step. you will see a much better result with a whole lot less damage.
@Tezaa Torres I actually haven't even washed my hair yet since getting it this color, so I'm sure that will kind of tone out with purple shampoo. My hair is VERY porous, so I'm really trying to avoid using anymore toner. I'd rather have a few bits that are on the warm side than possibly have gray pieces, ya feel me? lol.
you can buy olaplex on ebay now for a really resonable price I used this after colour before on bright red and it transformed my hair and then I went and got a full head of foil highlights at the hairdresser and my hair is still in great condition
I had PLATINUM level 10 hair that took a year to get from level 3 dark hair. I dyed the ends and middle part bright red kind of like rengoku and I regret it so much I loved my blonde hair 😭😭😭 I hope these methods work
Getting my hair done at the salon to try getting my natural blonde after boxed red dying my hair multiple times.....Im terrified! Hopefully it turns out decent and I don't have to hide.
Color Prep by Color Oops works better than Color Oops. Today it took my hair from a dark intense violet (Violet Vixen) by Feria and it went right back to the blonde that it was previous to the violet. Then I put a champagne blonde over it for about 2 minutes.
you talking about people possibly asking you about developer and telling them to do research gave me the vibe that you are a very honest friend who tells your friends what they NEED to hear even if they dont want to hear it
I dyed my hair burgundy and I don’t like it after all. I’m just going to try to remove it as much as I can by using dish soap and head and shoulders. And then go to the salon in 4-6 weeks from now. I learned my lesson to not do red/burgundy again. I should’ve just left my hair but oh well.
Dish soap noooo! Just using a cleansing shampoo with steaming hot water is sufficient! Otherwise it'll strip the natural oils in your hair and make it more damaged when you process color later
i love love love m’y red but.. it’s time to go green and i don’t think my damaged hair can take another full bleaching i am about to do this i will update this comment in a few hours with my results !!
Ok, As a professional, let me just say that no matter what you do before going into a salon chances are you will make your bill higher. Changing hair colors is already considered color correction, and if you happen to use the wrong product, you can make the process more difficult, and cause yourself to pay much more than you would have, had you just went to a salon in the first place. Any time you put a developer on your hair, you are opening the cuticle. This is what causes that spongy feeling. If you aren't careful about the products you use, you can overprocess your hair, making impossible to color or style your hair. Even a deep conditioning can't fix over processing...
How much would it cost to bleach my hair to a level 9 at a salon? I have medium length hair not too thick, but I went a crimson red about 6 weeks ago. It's faded significantly. I used some color removing crystals that you mix with warm water and then dish soap to wash it out and now it's a golden blond. But oddly, my roots are red! I don't know why!! Before I went red my hair was a mint green that was the result of faded teal. I change my hair color frequently but I just hate the red and I know it's hard to get out. Instead of frying my hair and doing at home bleachings I want to have a professional help me! I just don't know how much it would cost. (I'm talking about a regular hair salon not a fancy high priced one.)
***** that's probably going to depend on the specific salon you end up going to, and also where it is that you live. I'd call a few of the ones around you and ask. Most likely they will need to see your hair in person. Maybe not.. but my friends mom runs a salon and she always says she can't give a price until she sees what she's working with. Hope that helps.
i actually managed to get it to a ash blond by using a color stripper on it twice and using a high lift in ash blond twice and theres next to no damage at all. I'm very glad I decided not to bleach it because it looks awesome and I'm glad with the end results. I decided to experiment and it worked!
***** it's great that you managed to strip the color without damage (or too much of it.) be careful when dying your hair often because your hair can only take so much. yes, a stylist needs to see the hair in order to give a proper consultation and price quote. I was able to bring jet black hair (10 years of hair dye) to almost white while I was in beauty school, but the process took all day, and a lot of hair had to be cut to remove the over-processed part that wouldn't lift past fiery red... Luckily the client wanted a very short cut to begin with. If you like changing your look often, why not opt for keeping your hair at a lever 10 or higher and use temporary colors to add bold colors. less damage and you can be as versatile with your hair as you can be with your wardrobe
With the mention of high-lift, how would you compare ion high lift to loreal high lift? I know you have tried both so I'd really appreciate your input. And yeah when I went red I used the high lift about 3 times (through a month period almost once a week) and got really vibrant red without bleeching my hair.
Died my hair bright red like hers 3 times colour removed then box died brown and it was still red then 2 boxes of chocolate brown and my hair turned black and right now IV got a box of colour remover in cause I’m bored 😀😀
I have now ted and ginger Hair and I want light pink no orange I’m sitting here with bleach and watching all videos how to remove red now I’m scared my hair is already damaged and shirt like urs I try baking soda method to get rid of red but it’s doesn’t work much I want to do my hair home anything get me out the red ginger hair
Color does not lift color though. And I do like the video professional products are so much better than over the counter products. But were your extensions read too? Did you take the extensions and take them from red to blonde the ones you're wearing now?
Bro, i wanted light green hair, used 30 volume bleach, for 40 minutes!! NOTHING CHANGED, DIDN'T EVEN GET ORANGE! oooh but the black of my hair got yellow 🙄
I dyed my hair red back in the day then masked it with ash brown. I’ve dyed it a couple times both box and professional an ash brown. The red keeps fading up and it’s been over two years since I started fixing it. The fading color comes up like a brown/red/orange/brass color and it’s just not cute 😂 Any advise anyone?
Hi Sam can you please tell me how you matched your eyebrows to your hair color in this video? Did you use make up or tinted your brows since you naturally have darker hair? Thank you :)
Color Oops does not work on MOST demi permanent hair colors!! What it does it reacts violently with permanent hair color particles, thus why it washes out. Where as demi colors are a "stain" (does NOT penetrate the shaft of the hair, but the top layer of the shafts if the hair but washes away). It reacted with the darker hair or the permanent color you had underneath the demi permanent red from previous dyes, making it look lighter but not really taking the red away
Joline Webb Thanks for the info.! I wasn't exactly sure how Color Oops worked since I was completely unfamiliar with it (I usually use myHD color remover), but the box did say that it works on permanent AND demi permanent, so I was just reiterating what the box said. Honestly, even if it had removed the red in my hair completely, it just left it feeling SO dry, so I will probably never use it again. But thanks for explaining!! :)
The only time Color Oops had worked on a demi color was when it was metal based. And very few demi colors are metal based anymore. Sorry if I came off as rude but I like passing along my years of experience and knowledge to everyone because the Internet is a vast place with too much correct and incorrect info and I like seeing people achieve their hair goals! :)
Joline Webb No worries! That's why I even said in the video that I'd like professionals to feel free to correct me. I do like to share the few things that I've learned with people because I know SO many people try to do their hair themselves without ANY experience or knowledge, and there aren't a lot of pros sharing tips online. But I do know that I'm not a professional, and I don't always have the completely correct information, so I appreciate when someone further explains or corrects me.
Yes you look great with blonde stay that way and let your hair grow blonde really does look good on u !!! And of course dark/black color also !!!! Not so much red I love u in blonde or dark brown ^.^
im in the process of letting my red fade. im doing that over several weeks, with lots of hot water and shampoos. mines not nearly as dark, or vibrant red. hopefully i wont need to color oops at all before i bleach.
I've got 3 easy letters for anyone to remember if you want to remove red or orangish color after "bleaching" hair ... if you're going to bleach your hair or make it blond or any light color ( from dark ) always ALWAYS use RGC ... Red Gold Corrector... sally's beauty supply . .it's a purple liquid... I used to dye my hair blond in the 90's.. i'm a man.. a stylist said you need RGC .. just believe me. if you are going blond from any dark color... add in the RGC into your coloring kit and it will look EXACTLY LIKE THE BOX says. just trust me.. if i'm not right, comment below... guarantee you it will work
ive been following you since your first blonde video, it was after your video i tried to do my hair blonde (After watching every black to blonde tutorial on youtube, literally). my hair had a lot of black permanent dyes on it after around 5 years so it never lifted past orange which was annoying and a given, so i dyed it chocolate brown a lot like you did haha. then after that i tried the bleaching process again and it didnt work :(. so now im just growing out my normal boring black hair since november until its nice and soft again. it was good though, before i went back to black on my lightened hair i used a lot of fun colours like purple and blue (dark tinted roots with vibrant ends like you did with the red! haha) and i dont regret it all since i had black hair all my life. i love watching your hair videos cos i feel so similar to you except you got that happy ending
So I used the color oops on my red and got it back to a goldish brown , needless to say I went in with manic purple haze. The ends are purple and the rest is that original color. I'm not sure what I did wrong:( please help!
Red & I have a toxic relationship.... I always come back to her😭 I legit just spent months getting my hair to blonde with very little pink and I went thru having my car crashed ...happened to have some extra red hair dye and well... 😭😭 I tried to just to half blonde & red & now basically my whole head is bc it keeps bleeding out LMAO RIP
Omg so does that mean it’s too late for me to get lighter hair because instead of using color oops I bleached my hair 😭? And my hair is almost still as red as before
People seem to have such good results with the baking soda methods. Maybe more people should try that before spending the money on countless colour removers and salons etc. I’ve heard people use baking soda, purple shampoo and vitamin c and it works but then there’s also the version where people add developer.
Try the vitamin c and dandruff shampoo if it’s a semi permanent color it’s works like a charm. You will likely still need to bleach after but it helps a lot!
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that you used the highlight color wrong. Highlight colors are use at 1:2 ratio with 40 volume. So 1 part color 2 parts 40 volume.
A pro hair dresser said that ur hair only absorbs any mask/conditioner/moisturiser in like 4 or 5 mins. Then it wont absorb anymore. So you don't need to leave stuff on for hours or days. Thanks for the video I'm trying to remove pink right now!
***** It may. I've seen various results. I think it all depends on how porous your hair is and how much color is built up in it. I would definitely try it though. Even if your hair doesn't go completely back to blonde, it will definitely help take some of that color out. I put a link in the description to my "Black to Blonde" video, so check that out!
Not a fan of Manic Panic, but, it comes out with permanent hair dye. Unless they changed their formula. I used it when I was a teenager, whenever I wanted to change colors, I would use a permanent dye to remove it. Special Fx, on the other hand, nothing gets rid of all of it... I finally dyed it with a darker ash color to cover it up.
Girl your so brave .. lol I try to go blonde once and my hair was left out dry and all weird . And I swear never again... great video and great tips ..
Yuliana Morales Yeah, it can definitely be a really harsh process, especially if you do it over a really short period of time. I have a black/dark brown to blonde video that I linked in the description of this one, in case you ever want to try it again :)
What I did (I used special effects for the red) 1st. really wash the red out as much as possible I used my regular shampoo...and wash my hair EVERYDAY for like 1 week.... 2nd. I bleached my hair twice ..and now I think I'm on lvl8-9....i just saw the blonde level on google hahahah lozzz
I did red. What was I thinking??? Now I desperately want it out 😭
Same with me 😭
Don’t feel bad! I did black and it’s not coming out 😩
Meee toooooo 💔

Aphogee takes time,since you have to blowdry it in until your hair gets hard and dry.But it works. GFor seriously damaged hair, use once or twice in a row and you will notice a huge difference.My ends were stretching and breaking off before the treatment,then after the treatment they werent stretching anymore. Literally saved my hair.A large bottle is AT Sallys for about 25 dollars and will last a long time.each application lasts 6 weeks.But when my hair is very badly damaged,I personally use it every day for 2 or 3 days and hair ends up ,ike it was before I bleached it. Or close to it.
It's hard to lighten the markecia.. between root and middle hair shaft. You need to foil it by strand to do it to even the color. Then do the roots the last. Wash it, dry in dryer, then pick a blonde color you want, put first 1/2 inc away from roots after 15 min. Put through roots then after 10 min. Add the filler mix it the left over all over to even the color, give at least 10 min to rest. Then wash it.
High lift color works only on virgin hair (not colored hair), although it can make a subtle difference with a temporary color on it. Not always
So upset.a fricking salon? Wats the point in watching this video
Not destroying your hair is the point of a salon. Trying to lift red will give you orange unless done right.
Very nervous about my big hairdo undertaking, but appreciate the tutorial!
You verified a lot of the info that I was finding on my own... my biggest concern was using color remover and then a bleach process, prior to dying with semi perm fashion color. I'm starting with undamaged hair, removing sort of a natural auburn brown permanent dye with color remover, then after the auburn red is gone, planning to balyage my ends and some midshaft with 20 developer and Blacklight lightening cream to lighten my naturally mid blonde to mid brown hair a few levels. Then once those areas are lighter blonde, applying a semi perm teal color.
I did get a Bond Angel treatment to use with the color remover and bleach processes, as well as between and after... its similar to Oliplex, basically limits the damage from drying processes..
Crossing fingers! And when in doubt, if it goes wonky, straight to the hairdresser. lol Your blonde came out great, btw.
Wow, that’s a lot. I had used the L’Oréal hi color in magenta, and it faded quickly on some parts and looked bad where my roots grew in. I used Color Oops, and it took it all out, and my hair was already the color I wanted. It was 3-4 shades lighter from using the hi lift color.
Sam! I have always loved the blonde on you. It looks amazing on you. Your skin tone is gold and the blonde is beautiful on you! I want to go blonde so bad :( maybe in the summer! You're so informative. Love how you explain everything so thoroughly.
MakeupByLovelyJojo Aw, thank you!! I could definitely picture you with a JLo kind of color!! :)
Red is definitely your color! It makes you shine!
I am licensed and I just want to say by my experience if you have warm tones definitely get color oops works great! But if you have any bright colors get color off from Sally’s definitely works now the more vibrant it is it’s harder, so if you need to do it a second Time do so! It comes with a hair mask and a great one to. It’s pretty small tho. After you do that your hair is still going to have a staining color DO NOT BLEACH. Get dish soap purple shampoo and baking soda it works so good!! It gives your hair that icy blonde now I had to do the soap method about 3 times but I used permanent so that’s why. If you use SPLOT this will be so much harder. After that just bleach it one time and spot bleach it then you will have an icy blonde!
I hope this works.. but I only have color oops
I'm always super nervious when I think of using bleech on my hair, and since my hair is long, I think that if I ever bleech it, I'll bleech it in quarters, that way no part is processing longer that the rest if that makes sence. You know that I'm planning to lighten my hair, but for now I think I'll try light brown and use a highlift color. The last time I dyed my hair was back in September, so with washing my hair I'm assuming that most of the beld up is gone. I'm still going to use a color remover but I'm guessing that one round of that would be enough. I might repeat the highlift color though :/
By the way thanx for the super informative video :)
Hanan A I don't think you'll have any problem at all going lighter! Especially if you use a color remover. Depending on how easily your hair lifts, you might find that you won't even ever need to use bleach. High lift color can lighten your hair a lot, especially if you use it a few times.
Samantha Vay super incouraging!! Thank you :)
PLEASE DONT LISTEN!!!!!!! as a hairdresser do not by any means do the first few steps yourself if you are going to a salon, please go as is we do not advise you to start stripping your hair on your own and come to us to finish it off. This is possibly the worst thing you can do. If you choose to become a blonde you can stay home and destroy yourself from beginning to end or come straight to a hairstylist to begin with this is your hair, so do not look to save a couple of bucks and completely destroy your hair and come to us as if we have a magic wand to rewind time. I’ve had plenty of times where I have turned people away because they went too far with their hair and already destroyed the integrity but people come with all colors dark bright, vibrant, red, and I get them the icy cool blonde they desire no it’s not gonna be cheap but if this is what you desire money should not be a factor if you’re concerned about it just keep your color as is but whatever you do do not listen to the given and this video!!!
color oops says on the box it is not for direct dyes. that is why it didn't achieve the desired lift. even after 2 uses. you need a direct dye lifter as that step instead. starting off with the healthiest hair possible always gives the healthiest results. it's pretty crucial to drag out that washing and deep conditioning in the beginning. wear hats, your hair up, try to style it to conceal the fading as you use really warm water and maybe even a bit of baking soda mixed into your dandruff or clerical shampoo. I wouldn't recommend using "cheap" shampoo as the sulphate will damage and dry. if possible do an olaplex treatment before the direct dye lifter step. you will see a much better result with a whole lot less damage.
@Tezaa Torres I actually haven't even washed my hair yet since getting it this color, so I'm sure that will kind of tone out with purple shampoo. My hair is VERY porous, so I'm really trying to avoid using anymore toner. I'd rather have a few bits that are on the warm side than possibly have gray pieces, ya feel me? lol.
you can buy olaplex on ebay now for a really resonable price I used this after colour before on bright red and it transformed my hair and then I went and got a full head of foil highlights at the hairdresser and my hair is still in great condition
a high lift blonde color is just a regular permanent hair color? I dont live in the USA, so I dont have these products :)
I had PLATINUM level 10 hair that took a year to get from level 3 dark hair. I dyed the ends and middle part bright red kind of like rengoku and I regret it so much I loved my blonde hair 😭😭😭 I hope these methods work
Getting my hair done at the salon to try getting my natural blonde after boxed red dying my hair multiple times.....Im terrified! Hopefully it turns out decent and I don't have to hide.
Color Prep by Color Oops works better than Color Oops. Today it took my hair from a dark intense violet (Violet Vixen) by Feria and it went right back to the blonde that it was previous to the violet. Then I put a champagne blonde over it for about 2 minutes.
❤
you talking about people possibly asking you about developer and telling them to do research gave me the vibe that you are a very honest friend who tells your friends what they NEED to hear even if they dont want to hear it
Would love to see Sam react to this video & share what she would have done differently since she IS a professional now.
babe go to cos school, you do research so well and really understand every part of this process. good job!
I've decided to go to a salon to get bleached for a blonde from being a red head for so long! Love all your video!
I dyed my hair burgundy and I don’t like it after all. I’m just going to try to remove it as much as I can by using dish soap and head and shoulders. And then go to the salon in 4-6 weeks from now. I learned my lesson to not do red/burgundy again. I should’ve just left my hair but oh well.
I did red i loved it but it's time for it to go i wanna change it and am hoping this will help me.
I also find blue/green shampoo really good for canceling red out. Really helps.
I have 10 years of monthly red dyes…want blonde platinum but can’t face the bright orange phase…
Dish soap noooo! Just using a cleansing shampoo with steaming hot water is sufficient! Otherwise it'll strip the natural oils in your hair and make it more damaged when you process color later
olaplex doesn't dilute devolper. but it gives you a chance to lift higher
Yeah after this video I just made an appointment for the hair salon... Not gonna go through that much damage to correct the color in my hair. lol
i love love love m’y red but.. it’s time to go green and i don’t think my damaged hair can take another full bleaching i am about to do this i will update this comment in a few hours with my results !!
Ok, As a professional, let me just say that no matter what you do before going into a salon chances are you will make your bill higher. Changing hair colors is already considered color correction, and if you happen to use the wrong product, you can make the process more difficult, and cause yourself to pay much more than you would have, had you just went to a salon in the first place.
Any time you put a developer on your hair, you are opening the cuticle. This is what causes that spongy feeling. If you aren't careful about the products you use, you can overprocess your hair, making impossible to color or style your hair. Even a deep conditioning can't fix over processing...
How much would it cost to bleach my hair to a level 9 at a salon? I have medium length hair not too thick, but I went a crimson red about 6 weeks ago. It's faded significantly. I used some color removing crystals that you mix with warm water and then dish soap to wash it out and now it's a golden blond. But oddly, my roots are red! I don't know why!! Before I went red my hair was a mint green that was the result of faded teal. I change my hair color frequently but I just hate the red and I know it's hard to get out. Instead of frying my hair and doing at home bleachings I want to have a professional help me! I just don't know how much it would cost. (I'm talking about a regular hair salon not a fancy high priced one.)
***** that's probably going to depend on the specific salon you end up going to, and also where it is that you live. I'd call a few of the ones around you and ask. Most likely they will need to see your hair in person. Maybe not.. but my friends mom runs a salon and she always says she can't give a price until she sees what she's working with. Hope that helps.
i actually managed to get it to a ash blond by using a color stripper on it twice and using a high lift in ash blond twice and theres next to no damage at all. I'm very glad I decided not to bleach it because it looks awesome and I'm glad with the end results. I decided to experiment and it worked!
***** it's great that you managed to strip the color without damage (or too much of it.) be careful when dying your hair often because your hair can only take so much. yes, a stylist needs to see the hair in order to give a proper consultation and price quote. I was able to bring jet black hair (10 years of hair dye) to almost white while I was in beauty school, but the process took all day, and a lot of hair had to be cut to remove the over-processed part that wouldn't lift past fiery red... Luckily the client wanted a very short cut to begin with. If you like changing your look often, why not opt for keeping your hair at a lever 10 or higher and use temporary colors to add bold colors. less damage and you can be as versatile with your hair as you can be with your wardrobe
*level
With the mention of high-lift, how would you compare ion high lift to loreal high lift? I know you have tried both so I'd really appreciate your input. And yeah when I went red I used the high lift about 3 times (through a month period almost once a week) and got really vibrant red without bleeching my hair.
Hanan A I really didn't notice a significant difference. I just like Ion as a brand a lot. They also have more color options.
I am ash blonde right now , and want to go ginger or auburn, but I’m scared I won’t be able to get my ash blonde back when I get bored of the red…
Died my hair bright red like hers 3 times colour removed then box died brown and it was still red then 2 boxes of chocolate brown and my hair turned black and right now IV got a box of colour remover in cause I’m bored 😀😀
I love my red hair sm but I really wanna have a change into blonde
I have now ted and ginger Hair and I want light pink no orange I’m sitting here with bleach and watching all videos how to remove red now I’m scared my hair is already damaged and shirt like urs I try baking soda method to get rid of red but it’s doesn’t work much I want to do my hair home anything get me out the red ginger hair
i have pillar box red.hair and want to go back to blonde.its a permanent hair dye.Any tips? ♥️
Vid starts at 1:56
Andrea Gonzalez real hero
I have bought two bottles of hair stripper two bottles of ash blonde hair dye I have got red hair so do you think I have done it right
I love your hair in red. It look better with your complexion
Tell me why it’s easier to get black box dye out than red semi permanent. Currently sitting here with pink hair after a bleach bath
Color does not lift color though. And I do like the video professional products are so much better than over the counter products. But were your extensions read too? Did you take the extensions and take them from red to blonde the ones you're wearing now?
Bro, i wanted light green hair, used 30 volume bleach, for 40 minutes!! NOTHING CHANGED, DIDN'T EVEN GET ORANGE! oooh but the black of my hair got yellow 🙄
I dyed my hair red back in the day then masked it with ash brown. I’ve dyed it a couple times both box and professional an ash brown. The red keeps fading up and it’s been over two years since I started fixing it. The fading color comes up like a brown/red/orange/brass color and it’s just not cute 😂 Any advise anyone?
Hi Sam can you please tell me how you matched your eyebrows to your hair color in this video? Did you use make up or tinted your brows since you naturally have darker hair? Thank you :)
Color Oops does not work on MOST demi permanent hair colors!! What it does it reacts violently with permanent hair color particles, thus why it washes out. Where as demi colors are a "stain" (does NOT penetrate the shaft of the hair, but the top layer of the shafts if the hair but washes away). It reacted with the darker hair or the permanent color you had underneath the demi permanent red from previous dyes, making it look lighter but not really taking the red away
Joline Webb Thanks for the info.! I wasn't exactly sure how Color Oops worked since I was completely unfamiliar with it (I usually use myHD color remover), but the box did say that it works on permanent AND demi permanent, so I was just reiterating what the box said. Honestly, even if it had removed the red in my hair completely, it just left it feeling SO dry, so I will probably never use it again. But thanks for explaining!! :)
The only time Color Oops had worked on a demi color was when it was metal based. And very few demi colors are metal based anymore.
Sorry if I came off as rude but I like passing along my years of experience and knowledge to everyone because the Internet is a vast place with too much correct and incorrect info and I like seeing people achieve their hair goals! :)
Joline Webb No worries! That's why I even said in the video that I'd like professionals to feel free to correct me. I do like to share the few things that I've learned with people because I know SO many people try to do their hair themselves without ANY experience or knowledge, and there aren't a lot of pros sharing tips online. But I do know that I'm not a professional, and I don't always have the completely correct information, so I appreciate when someone further explains or corrects me.
Olaplex does not dilute the volume of the developer! 💗
It does though. Just like water
I got my hair ruinedcat the salon this is why I always do it ny self , I remove red, bkack , permanent burgundy and my hair survive
should have just slapped bleach on it in the first place... I feel like doing all of those things did more damage than just one bleach would have done
Alex Fiore bleach will push direct dyes deeper into the hair and it will actually resurface overtime. I've seen it happen.....on myself lol😂😂😂
Nah man bleaching red hair makes the red brighter
Mexisarus lol u mean lighter it actually turns it pink
The blonde looks so good on you, i'm in love !!!
***** Thank you :)
Yes you look great with blonde stay that way and let your hair grow blonde really does look good on u !!! And of course dark/black color also !!!! Not so much red I love u in blonde or dark brown ^.^
I never knew taking out red colour need that much effort. I’m regretting having it done at first place.
if i use a collor remover my red goes away and turns copper
The salon killed my hair chopped it all off and My hair has pinkish spots in it even after so much bleach help😭 should this help
briona minney tone it
Im living for that red ! But your hair turned out great !
im in the process of letting my red fade. im doing that over several weeks, with lots of hot water and shampoos. mines not nearly as dark, or vibrant red. hopefully i wont need to color oops at all before i bleach.
I dyed my hair brown a couple times, then just starting going lighter. Took a couple of months
That’s what I’m going to do 🥰
I've got 3 easy letters for anyone to remember if you want to remove red or orangish color after "bleaching" hair ... if you're going to bleach your hair or make it blond or any light color ( from dark ) always ALWAYS use RGC ... Red Gold Corrector... sally's beauty supply . .it's a purple liquid... I used to dye my hair blond in the 90's.. i'm a man.. a stylist said you need RGC .. just believe me. if you are going blond from any dark color... add in the RGC into your coloring kit and it will look EXACTLY LIKE THE BOX says. just trust me.. if i'm not right, comment below... guarantee you it will work
tom watson would it work with natural black hair to blonde? I'm a dude.
Good to know! Love the profile pic too.
ive been following you since your first blonde video, it was after your video i tried to do my hair blonde (After watching every black to blonde tutorial on youtube, literally).
my hair had a lot of black permanent dyes on it after around 5 years so it never lifted past orange which was annoying and a given, so i dyed it chocolate brown a lot like you did haha. then after that i tried the bleaching process again and it didnt work :(. so now im just growing out my normal boring black hair since november until its nice and soft again. it was good though, before i went back to black on my lightened hair i used a lot of fun colours like purple and blue (dark tinted roots with vibrant ends like you did with the red! haha) and i dont regret it all since i had black hair all my life.
i love watching your hair videos cos i feel so similar to you except you got that happy ending
i have a little red in my hair by mistake if i try dandruff shampoo my mom said it can come out i had ur color hair before and im blonde now
So I used the color oops on my red and got it back to a goldish brown , needless to say I went in with manic purple haze. The ends are purple and the rest is that original color. I'm not sure what I did wrong:( please help!
Red & I have a toxic relationship.... I always come back to her😭 I legit just spent months getting my hair to blonde with very little pink and I went thru having my car crashed ...happened to have some extra red hair dye and well... 😭😭 I tried to just to half blonde & red & now basically my whole head is bc it keeps bleeding out LMAO RIP
Omg so does that mean it’s too late for me to get lighter hair because instead of using color oops I bleached my hair 😭? And my hair is almost still as red as before
People seem to have such good results with the baking soda methods. Maybe more people should try that before spending the money on countless colour removers and salons etc. I’ve heard people use baking soda, purple shampoo and vitamin c and it works but then there’s also the version where people add developer.
Try the vitamin c and dandruff shampoo if it’s a semi permanent color it’s works like a charm. You will likely still need to bleach after but it helps a lot!
Well if you use color oops twice on the same day it's obviously going to do some damage.
are you wearing extensions because the before your hair is super short.
She literally says like 5 times "this is with extensions" and even showed several clips of her hair without extensions......
Oplex doesn’t restore. It creates a superficial bond so hair is still broken but doesn’t break off.
Do you know what color toner she used to tone?
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that you used the highlight color wrong. Highlight colors are use at 1:2 ratio with 40 volume. So 1 part color 2 parts 40 volume.
A pro hair dresser said that ur hair only absorbs any mask/conditioner/moisturiser in like 4 or 5 mins. Then it wont absorb anymore. So you don't need to leave stuff on for hours or days. Thanks for the video I'm trying to remove pink right now!
I'm not red headed or anything. But my natural hair color is blonde and I dyed it black and if I use color oops will it turn it back?
***** It may. I've seen various results. I think it all depends on how porous your hair is and how much color is built up in it. I would definitely try it though. Even if your hair doesn't go completely back to blonde, it will definitely help take some of that color out. I put a link in the description to my "Black to Blonde" video, so check that out!
Samantha Vay thank you so much!! I'll try it soon and I'll tell you how it goes :) and sure I'll check out the video right now(:
Or could you use it as just a hair treatment and you decide not to go any lighter but your hair is damaged? if that makes sense.
Are you asking about the olaplex? If so, then yes, you can use it as just a treatment. :)
How to remove splat hair dye tho?
Not a fan of Manic Panic, but, it comes out with permanent hair dye. Unless they changed their formula. I used it when I was a teenager, whenever I wanted to change colors, I would use a permanent dye to remove it. Special Fx, on the other hand, nothing gets rid of all of it... I finally dyed it with a darker ash color to cover it up.
Girl your so brave .. lol I try to go blonde once and my hair was left out dry and all weird . And I swear never again... great video and great tips ..
Yuliana Morales Yeah, it can definitely be a really harsh process, especially if you do it over a really short period of time. I have a black/dark brown to blonde video that I linked in the description of this one, in case you ever want to try it again :)
My hair is naturally blonde and I've been dying it dark brown for a couple months. How can I remove it and go back to my natural hair color?
Rachel Albers I would suggest to just get box dye hair color, the lightest blond you can find.
I recommend the color oops.That takes the dye out and brings you back to your original color. If you buy a lighter hair dye it will do nothing.
Don't ever use box dyes. Go to your local sallies and buy color and developer if you want to dye it again. It's so much healthier for your hair.
What I did (I used special effects for the red)
1st. really wash the red out as much as possible I used my regular shampoo...and wash my hair EVERYDAY for like 1 week....
2nd. I bleached my hair twice
..and now I think I'm on lvl8-9....i just saw the blonde level on google hahahah lozzz
I hate how bleach and dye kills your hair I had to cut off my hair bc of it it was that bad it was really long too I miss my long hair 😞
