+Jessie Patt the last thing that actually ended up working wasn't bleach. This was a video to show you different ways people have said work, and we wanted to share what did and didn't work for us.
Jessie Patt It's meant to be "without bleaching" as the bleach powder is not activated here, as it is in normal bleaching. Katie tends to stress that herself.
The last one, the color remover, has developer but no bleach. I've used color removers a lot. Developer does not equal bleach, otherwise all oxidated dyes would be bleach, right?
GraceDcastle I'm sorry I really am I didn't mean to be rude and it came off really rude. I think I will just delete my comment because I really don't want to hurt anybody's feelings and she is a beautiful girl with a beautiful brand new baby and I did not mean to be rude to her
Everyone saying that you talk too much, I would have to disagree with them I appreciate the information you gave. Especially coming from a fellow cosmetologist I appreciated you breaking down why certain things wouldn’t chemically work and why other things would chemically work. Other people just don’t understand the chemicals or the Scientific lingo so they see it as babel. But I do not, so thank you, i’m trying to get blue out of my hair right now and it’s a pain is the ass!
Katie Kelleher Agreed, 100%! Some of us appreciate the "why" because it better informs "how" to achieve these results - consistently. Plus, puppies are adorable! 🐕
Thank you so much for sharing my fading treatment! It is going to be published on HairCrazy soon, in an article I wrote that goes over alllll the common removal methods like DDL, clear and developer, vitamin c, baking soda, lightener, etc. When it is published i will send you the link to it :)
I hope your including that ddl is a bleach. Anything that says lifter is a bleach, go over the ingredients. Kind of tired watching these videos of people duped into thinking it's not bleach.
It’s not click bait, the bleach powder (without developer) is only being used as an exfoliant, which is why you see people using vitamin c powder or baking powder instead. It isn’t the same as bleaching the hair.
I've gone to the Malibu C educational classes. I am a licensed hairdresser, this stuff is a lightener. You can actually do highlights with it on natural hair in foils
Just so you know, don't use refined coconut oil on the hair. "Using LouAna coconut oil for hair is not recommended. Since LouAna coconut oil has been refined, it is very similar to any other processed oil and will not be as easily absorbed into your hair like an unrefined coconut oil would be and therefore does not provide your hair with the same benefits. "
I always use Katie's fading treatment to fade my colors (I have super fine hair that does not tolerate processing well), even the dreaded Ion sky blue comes out with it. Sure, it takes a few, but spaced out to once a week? Bye bye blue in @3wks! It's definitely a blessing to the DIY community!
Corinna Thompson the strength of the developer is not what determines whether or not it is a bleach. It has Ingredients Potassium Persulfate, Sodium Carbonate, Sodium Persulfate, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Metasilicate, Disodium EDTA, Kaolin, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, Polyquaternium-10 and the product itself has a pH of 10.5-12. The better question is, how is it not considered a lightener when it has "lift" in the name. No matter what developer is used (even water because water will cause it to oxidize) bleach is going to lift.
I was desperately seeking a way to wash out a shampoo stain. I discovered a few less expensive ways. Not a hair dye, granted, but a mere clarifying shampoo or dandruff shampoo fades such color but I'm impatient and after the first fail, I had to have immediate results. Your pointers were on point. So appreciative. I love the packet options. No one warns consumers that the shampoo stains won't always lift off easily and they adhere to blonde hair that is sun damaged while not grabbing onto the virgin root, leaving a nasty halo affect if the color difference is extreme. Experience is everything. I'm glad it was my own hair while trying a new product line and not a client or a patient, as I do patient care, home health... And the color was supposed to be a beautiful silver/grey, but it turned darker... Nearly a blue/black. Thankful, again, I sacrificed my own hair and my own worry. Lol
Just an FYI to anyone that plans on using DDL (and I think she says it in this video, too), don't put this on your roots! My stylist used it for the first time on me so it was new to her and she accidentally went all the way to my roots with it. I got a chemical burn from it! Not too terrible, but it felt like my entire scalp had been sunburnt for a couple days.
Usually takes more than 1 of Katie's Fading Treatments to really see color get pulled out. And different colors/brands can be harder (or easier) to fade. Also depends on the level of fading that's happened over time. Best course: overnight coconut oil or argan oil, next day add more oil, wait 2 hours, do Katie's Fading Treatment. Then for the next week do overnight oil treatments and following day apply clarifying shampoo to oiled hair. Massage through for 15 minutes, rinse in very warm water, shampoo again, finish with a good silicone free conditioner. Do that every night/day for a week, then do a second of Katie's Fading Treatment. You will see results!
I go to cosmetology school and I had purple hair . One of my instructors used the base breaker by redken and that removed all the purple out of my hair . I would highly recommend it (:
That first method is actually called a "shampoo cap" or "bleach wash" and it usually works better if you let it sit for a while and scrub. Also using soo many things to condition the hair in the mix is going to make the process take longer since you're also smoothing the cuticle. I've done it without any kind of conditioning and it worked very well.
+Lauren Smith a shampoo cap it's just shampoo lighter and developer, this was different then that and didn't use developer. It would have been way to harsh on her hair since she is so processed already!
Everyone is saying how you talk to much but I watched the entire video and was not annoyed at all and found all your talking useful information. Thank you for all the detail! Patience is a virtue people.
I was so happy that the Malibu DDL was the product you used to remove her color. I have been eyeballing it but had never seen results of it before. I drove 50 miles today after leaving the salon early to go pick it up lol Very helpful video! I am trying it on myself first before a client for sure!
+Sara Wright I know I'm so surprised that I've not tried it out before! Wish I had it when I did my mermaid hair 😫 would have saved my life lol! Let me know how it goes!!!
It worked so well! I am almost shocked, because my hair was faded blue/green, which I know is hard to get rid of. I ended up filming the results and my thoughts on it(which are good thoughts, lol) I also had to tone my hair to get rid of some brassiness that was left over, but I am very pleased with the results. I am going to stock up on the DDL for sure! My hair feels great, and I would have been terrified to put lightener on it. This was a life saver! :)
Everybody complaining about “no bleach clickbait”... after thinking on the same grounds for a while, I think I understand why it says no bleach... I guess they mean no bleaching necessary, meaning no bleach with peroxide which is really the damaging combo... am I right?? If I am, hope this helps clarify🥰
anti dandruff and vitamin c or vitamin c and developer before bleaching and all those other treatments a few times with conditioning treatments in between is what I do
What if I do that after bleaching my hair with color leftover..I bleached my hair just yesterday and I forgot I had a dark purple and so I bleached it n turned out light pink..how can I fix this
baking soda,white vinegar,expensive aloe without silicone,and a cheaper moisturizing shampoo works great for pulling OLD color out without damage to healthy hair.It works great for my thin blonde hair and it actually feels and looks so much healthier,it's normally very thin and kinda fragile.
people need to stop trying to be right. im glad your talking because im listening -.- im trying to get my hair to lighten i have so much green tones left in my hair from the voodoo blue from manic panic :(
Thankyou so much for this video!!! Life saver. Literally coloured my hair with a turquoise semi permanent hair colour and it was fun for 2 days. But now I want to go back blonde 😩
What I did to one of my clients that had a green residue I used olaplex #2 and a dot or two of red from pravana vivids I put it on her hair and it amazingly took off in 2 to 5 min u have to be there to watch the process it really works and helps with the hair... hope this helps =)
I'll have to try this. Used Beyond the Zone Color Jamz in purple passion, tripped up turquoise, bubblehead pink, not so shy violet and huckleberry blue. It was supposed to wash out over time, however, it stayed in my hair six weeks . I finally used BTZ Radical Color Remover. The first time I used it with water, it lightened up, but not enough. The next day I tried it with ION Sensitive Scalp 20 developer and more came out, the purple was now like a dusty rose but brassy at the ends. third time everything but a hint of pink came out; however, I had a lot of yellow and brass. Don't know anything about toners so I waited a day and tried ION Brilliance Colors Brights Titanium, rose, lavender and azure blue. The only colors that really took are the lavender and azure. The rose is more like a peachy color and the titanium took, but it's really uneven. I guess toning it would have been the smart thing to do. So I've now made the decision that my hairdresser will be doing this.
it took my color and demi out completely! works great but only issue is your hair deff needs to be in great shape bc it will make it more fragile. my hair didn't have great integrity beforehand so I shouldn't have used it but I was desperate and wanted to try it before using it on clients. I used 10vol and only left on like 15 min and my hair was destroyed, been recooperating it ever since and might have to cut off a few inches. so deff use with caution or see if there's a way to use olaplex with it!! but deff gets all colors out!
10 to 15 vitamin c tablets crushed, with equal parts shampoo work amazing. Leave on 20-90 minutes, and it will pull most if not all direct dye out, also overtoned hair, and fade some permanent dyes. It is slightly drying so condition well, but no bleach!
I am so happy that you did this video. I had bought Malibu DDL but I came across Katie's method and I wasn't sure which to use. It saves me alot of time.
I think I heard you say you tried pravanna colour extractor. it doesn't work on direct dyes because it's not meant to. according to pravanna it's only meant to be used on oxidated dyes (ie dyes that have been mixed with peroxide ) that's why it didn't work. it works amazingly with oxidated or peroxided dyes.
+Natalie Chico yes it only works with oxidative dyes. But some people claim it works, so we wanted to try everything and I left people know is doesn't work every time and I never reach for it.
Idk about the vinegar. Vinegar is used to seal dyes thats why you use it on your black clothes to stop fading and then i seen people use it when they wash their colored hair to preserve it.
believe the point is to close down the cuticle that you've left wide open. Has to do with the ph level of the white vinegar. Not a stylist but that's what I've read
I used the Malibu DDL and did it two days in a row and had breakage. For the past 3 weeks I've been trying to bring my hair back from that! Just my experience to take with anyone who uses it only do what your hair can withstand!
+Alexsis Mae it was weird because I've put my hair through hell and this was the first time that I've ever experienced breakage! Hopefully my hair will be okay after my olaplex treatment and I can use it again!
I did the ddl when it came out and it dries your hair out so bad. the fact that it uses developer should actually drive the color further into the hair strand. it gives you the option for a gentler removal using water instead of developer which I'd recommend. but the best method so far is with Pravana's pure light power lightener and zero lift developer. my client always gets lots of colors and it got her completely platinum with no damage
+mckenzie schafer we didn't have any problems with damage. And the other methods simply didn't work on her color. Sometimes one answer isn't the answer for everything 😉
I keep up my lisence but haven't worked in a salon for over 10 years. So some of this is new to me. Is Continuum the same concept as Olaplex? (Neither of which I've used). Sad part is.....I, literally haven't had my own hair done in YEARS! Last time I went to a salon she totally chopped my hair off. Thanks for the "continuing education"!
Cool thanks! Sounds like a great product. I know a lot of clients that loved the Malibu shampoo for chrlorine removal too, have you used that? (Also, license not lisence.....ugh, typing too fast!)
I did the method in the description, but swapped the shampoo for dish detergent. Worked really well on my semi permanent red ends! Needs 1 more treatment though. Strange thing is, my hair actually feels better than it did before I did the treatment. Go figure.
Hi, loved the video. Do you think the second process you used would work on my hair to remove black semi permanent color? It's the kind that washes out after 23 shampoos so it says on the box. My hair is in pretty good shape and mostly gray under the black. What do you suggest? Thanks so much.
you can saturate the hair with coconut oil for 1 hour to over night before you bleach to reduce damage. And you put the bleach on top of the coconut oil it doesn't affect how the bleach works.
Hey Alexsis , i've put a tulip fashion color on my natural brown but i don't like the result at all so i was wondering that if i use malibu direct dye lifter with a 10 developper it's going to lighten a lot my hair or i will get back to my natural hair color? I was thinking putting the product less time but i'm not sure that it going to work. Thank you!!
I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice, but the title says "Without bleach" while at 4:27-4:49 you can clearly see 1oz bleach powder... And so it says in the description.
+victimofstereotypes2 the clear method doesn't always work for me. But it totally can just depends. This was less damage on the hair because it wasn't straight ammonia (clear color).
What are you recommendations for lightening violet / grey hair without bleaching ? Trying to take My client to a very light silver but her hair picked up a lot Of Brassy tones
I had this same problem the other day i used the ddl on a client with green hair it didnt work so I heard clear from shades eq takes direct dyes out i left it on for 15 mins and it took all of her green out!
Is this what u use? I'm still listening to this video but shes talking a lot :( I have green stuck in my hair after a bleach wash on my old purple hair
ok but what gets rid of the stain ontop of natural colour? i put good dye young rock lobster on my hair to get a little bump in colour for a little. but ive tried so many vitamin C treatments, dish soap, dandruff shampoo, and hot oil treatments and the colour is still obviously there. any other methods? its at the point where its stained, not really much actually sittin on the cuticle
Thank you so much for making this video! I used Pravana Amethyst (purple), I wanted to be back to a level 6 and tried bleaching out the purple with Blondor 40 and it turned bright green! Lol it looks amazing but not what I wanted, so I'm going to try Malibu Ddl :) personally I love the talking because you explain things so thoroughly so it becomes extremely helpful. Ty ❤️
have you ever used baking soda and dish soap, I used it to get some of my red and pink out. alot of UK stylists use it, I'm in a hairstylist help group on Facebook
This video is perfect for me !!! i have blue hair with underneath white hair , so i cannot bleach unless i want to lose my hair i tried a color remover and it just lighted up a little bit and the product smell so bad i dont even wanna do it a second time , im gonna try what u said
PLEASE HELP!!!! I know your really busy because your about to have a baby so good luck!! BUT THERES THE QUESTION!!! My sisters hair looks like the end result you showed but there's even MORE of a green tint to her ash blonde hair! It looks completely Elsa from frozen gorgouse hair in some light and in other lighting you can really see the green undertones! I honestly don't know how to get rid of it because it's EXTREMELEY STUBORN and i'm curious....is there a toner that would tone down the green?? would red koolaid mixed with coniditoner help? PLEASE REPLY AND THANK YOU!!!!!
I have faded blue hair. I've had it for months so now I want to go back to my natural dark brown (almost black) hair. how would I go about to get there?
I wish the DDL would have worked better for my hair. My stylist has high hopes for it working in my hair, but the Manic Panic and Arctic Fox didn't want to budge lol.
+Marie O'Brien That's really interesting. I had Arctic Fox Poison and Cosmic Sunshine on my hair and my stylist used DDL and it took almost every bit out of my hair. The only places i was left with any slight color was where I had put the color on my natural hair. It didn't pull the color out of those spots which was okay since we were bleaching me anyway.
Marie O'Brien I used artic fox yesterday in the silver color and it turned out a minty greenish silver. its so awful!!! how did you get your color out? and which color did you use
So Im confused... Why talk about and put the directions for the oil and bleach powder method when u specifically said it basically did nothing instead of just putting in the description about the "DDL" one... Since that's the one that works...? 🙄
So I have brown hair with salon dyed blonde highlights and added a semi permanent blue colour as an ombre. Now I want to get rid of the blue using the vitamins will it take out the blue properly? Or will it take out some of the real blonde dye? Please help!
Hi, Alexsis, I really appreciate what you do to help up us, so I've been following you go a while and thanks God for this video.. I been doing my hair for a long time, but I have never tried fantasy colors before, so I went with the sky blue from ion and it works perfect, I had a balayage before, so it looked amazing, but I got tired of it, so I used color fix to remove the color, but didn't work, so with no results, I used bleach and it works, but at the end I still have some of the green, even when I use a 7NG. My question is, can I use the Malibu DDL and use a permanent hair color over it again? Thanks in advance !!
Does this only work for hair that has been previously bleached? I have colored red-copper hair and just had the underneath colored with Pravana blue and purple and it keeps staining my red hair. So now I have ugly greenish ends... can I use this method to help get the green out?
I have a client that colored her own hair at home black, and wanted to go to a platinum blonde. before she colored it black, it had been many different bright colors, including pink. I used lightener, twice, a week apart, and everything came out perfect except she still has a baby pink band on her midshaft. Do you think the ddl would work? or do you think if I couldn't get it out with lightener it's not happening.
Hi there thanks for the video was wondering does ddl have smelly smell like a perm I once used a colour remover and it made my hair stink permanently like perm solution cheers
+Aicha Elm the Pravana Color Extractor smells like sulfur, but the DDL doesn't really have a smell at all. I think because it's not working on oxidative dyes.
DrawingWithZu No, actually her natural color seems to be a bit darker (you could see it towards her roots new growth) the blank canvas for silver hair refers to hair that is clean of natural pigment, meaning it has been bleached. It is also a blank canvas for color dyes since they won’t look their best if applied onto naturally dark hair. Hope this helps🤗🥰
useful stuff starts at 8:15
unless you enjoy the talking
hope I helped
Life saver❤️
+Juliet Nash Thank you!
Thank fuck. I hate those talking UA-camrs 🤦
Wish I would've saw this comment before I watched, ugh. SO much useless information.
Snake lot😄
This says no bleach but it has bleach powder in it

Developer is what damages your hair...
I don't understand.. so what is the formula for her to get the blonde result？ Is it just the one you put in the description box？
Save 15 minutes of your life you'll never get back - use DDL and follow directions on back.
Nothing else to see here.
Thanks I was wondering wtf was going on I was expecting just the answer but nooooo I'm 10mins in and still nothing
goodness girl... less talk more showing.
+Luna Chick I like to explain things because that's how I learn😉
Yes but it's nerve racking when your going on and on and on ..........
+Luna Chick rude
GraceDcastle I'm sorry I really am I didn't mean to be rude and it came off really rude. I think I will just delete my comment because I really don't want to hurt anybody's feelings and she is a beautiful girl with a beautiful brand new baby and I did not mean to be rude to her

+Jo B (Ladyj0) Sure am! It is just a color stripper, a low lifting lightener- like Effasol, Color Zap, etc.
thank you so much for your formula
click bait lol 'without bleach' but uses bleach
+Edmil Deguzman not at the end, in sharing all the things I used and the one that worked is t bleach. So it's not click bait.
Alexsis Mae so why don't you clarify that in the title? I just commented exactly that.

@@tamiharwood4091 Yes, that is why she said to apply only to hair you are trying to lift. ☺💛
Dyed my grown out ombré hair blue 2 weeks ago and I’m tired of it already so THANK YOUUUU for all the info ☺️
Did it work on removing? My hair is half purple/pink but the purple is fading to bluey green :(
Did this work? I’ve got aqua hair atm and really want to go back blonde☹️
i dyed my pink and got a new job
Can I use it on the punky color dye ?
People are so rude, I found all the talking really interesting and educating. Go to a different video if you wanna do shit wrong
+Katie Jamie hahaha right? I wanna know all the things so I know what NOT to do and what TO do!

Showing pictures of the outcome of the products would have been a lot more useful than just talking about it
But you did use bleach..
Dogslove678 just the powder but it's not activated
Christiana it has bleach in it and used 10 or 20 vol... that's lightener.
Jamie Hughes you can you 10 or 20 volumes to deposit color as well....so how is Malibu a lightener???
Corinna Thompson the strength of the developer is not what determines whether or not it is a bleach. It has Ingredients
Potassium Persulfate, Sodium Carbonate, Sodium Persulfate, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Metasilicate, Disodium EDTA, Kaolin, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, Polyquaternium-10
and the product itself has a pH of 10.5-12.

Thanking u so much for taking the time to give this tuition , 👍🏼💖amazing info , will definitely b looking into buying the Malibu DDL 😃x

Ive watched a few on that coz i wanted to NOT use bleach too, but yeah...
When are you doing the Continuum and olaplex comparison video?
Thankyou so much for this video!!! Life saver. Literally coloured my hair with a turquoise semi permanent hair colour and it was fun for 2 days. But now I want to go back blonde 😩
Same here lol, regret it already and want to go red
i tried this on my green hair and it works ... thank you soo much i was hating the green
What I did to one of my clients that had a green residue I used olaplex #2 and a dot or two of red from pravana vivids I put it on her hair and it amazingly took off in 2 to 5 min u have to be there to watch the process it really works and helps with the hair... hope this helps =)
You think if I add drops of green pravana will remove my red hair???
What color to remove left over blue?
Make a video! Lol
I'll have to try this. Used Beyond the Zone Color Jamz in purple passion, tripped up turquoise, bubblehead pink, not so shy violet and huckleberry blue. It was supposed to wash out over time, however, it stayed in my hair six weeks . I finally used BTZ Radical Color Remover. The first time I used it with water, it lightened up, but not enough. The next day I tried it with ION Sensitive Scalp 20 developer and more came out, the purple was now like a dusty rose but brassy at the ends. third time everything but a hint of pink came out; however, I had a lot of yellow and brass. Don't know anything about toners so I waited a day and tried ION Brilliance Colors Brights Titanium, rose, lavender and azure blue. The only colors that really took are the lavender and azure. The rose is more like a peachy color and the titanium took, but it's really uneven. I guess toning it would have been the smart thing to do. So I've now made the decision that my hairdresser will be doing this.
+Ellen Franklin lol yep, it's always best to leave color to the professionals 😉
it took my color and demi out completely! works great but only issue is your hair deff needs to be in great shape bc it will make it more fragile. my hair didn't have great integrity beforehand so I shouldn't have used it but I was desperate and wanted to try it before using it on clients. I used 10vol and only left on like 15 min and my hair was destroyed, been recooperating it ever since and might have to cut off a few inches. so deff use with caution or see if there's a way to use olaplex with it!! but deff gets all colors out!
+Melissa Sabolcik oh no! Which is exactly why we have to use our judgement on clients if they can handle it like you said!
omg please don't give us your life history anymore and just get to the point
Matthew Miles the whole video is the point.
Hmm are you still a rude butthead 2 years later?
10 to 15 vitamin c tablets crushed, with equal parts shampoo work amazing. Leave on 20-90 minutes, and it will pull most if not all direct dye out, also overtoned hair, and fade some permanent dyes. It is slightly drying so condition well, but no bleach!
I am a new hair stylist and I love watching your videos. I learned so much from them, thank you!
I am so happy that you did this video. I had bought Malibu DDL but I came across Katie's method and I wasn't sure which to use. It saves me alot of time.
“WITHOUT bleach!”
...-1oz bleach powder
I think I heard you say you tried pravanna colour extractor. it doesn't work on direct dyes because it's not meant to. according to pravanna it's only meant to be used on oxidated dyes (ie dyes that have been mixed with peroxide ) that's why it didn't work. it works amazingly with oxidated or peroxided dyes.
+Natalie Chico yes it only works with oxidative dyes. But some people claim it works, so we wanted to try everything and I left people know is doesn't work every time and I never reach for it.
Pravana Zero volume ( which was created for removing their direct dyes) + bleach for 5 or 10 min. Done.
What go with the color wheel. N FYI a toner. Red dye mixed with white conditioner will cancel the green! Right. It worked for me.
I tried DDL and NOTHING happened 😑 just left my hair with a smell. Joico color eraser was my life saver highly recommend
Idk about the vinegar. Vinegar is used to seal dyes thats why you use it on your black clothes to stop fading and then i seen people use it when they wash their colored hair to preserve it.
believe the point is to close down the cuticle that you've left wide open. Has to do with the ph level of the white vinegar. Not a stylist but that's what I've read
Hi:) Thank You for sharing your expertise. After the DDL can I use a permanent hair color? I can't wait to try this
I would wait a week at least as I don't know the condition of your hair.
I had good results using Ajax dish soap (it has critic acid aka vitamin c) and anti dandruff shampoo
Hi thank you for this review. I love it. Can I use this on my natural gray hair to remove black or brown semi color?
I used the Malibu DDL and did it two days in a row and had breakage. For the past 3 weeks I've been trying to bring my hair back from that! Just my experience to take with anyone who uses it only do what your hair can withstand!
+AmyMcCarey exactly. You have to make a judgement call on your hair and make sure it's not over processing it.
+Alexsis Mae it was weird because I've put my hair through hell and this was the first time that I've ever experienced breakage! Hopefully my hair will be okay after my olaplex treatment and I can use it again!
Just an FYI Pravana Color Extractor works ONLY for OXIDATIVE hair color.
Without Bleach 🤣🤣🤣
The FIRST ingredient is BLEACH POWDER 🤦🏼♀️
Its not activated though
I did the ddl when it came out and it dries your hair out so bad. the fact that it uses developer should actually drive the color further into the hair strand. it gives you the option for a gentler removal using water instead of developer which I'd recommend. but the best method so far is with Pravana's pure light power lightener and zero lift developer. my client always gets lots of colors and it got her completely platinum with no damage
+mckenzie schafer we didn't have any problems with damage. And the other methods simply didn't work on her color. Sometimes one answer isn't the answer for everything 😉
LOVE this video. So informative and shows you really care about your clients struggles with their hair by sharing this video.
took too long to show us what works..... not really interested in what didnt work
I keep up my lisence but haven't worked in a salon for over 10 years. So some of this is new to me. Is Continuum the same concept as Olaplex? (Neither of which I've used). Sad part is.....I, literally haven't had my own hair done in YEARS! Last time I went to a salon she totally chopped my hair off. Thanks for the "continuing education"!
+Mel Gon same concept yes. With a bit of different science and patents.
Cool thanks! Sounds like a great product. I know a lot of clients that loved the Malibu shampoo for chrlorine removal too, have you used that? (Also, license not lisence.....ugh, typing too fast!)
What developer did you end up using? And did you apply it to wet or dry hair?
I did the method in the description, but swapped the shampoo for dish detergent. Worked really well on my semi permanent red ends! Needs 1 more treatment though. Strange thing is, my hair actually feels better than it did before I did the treatment. Go figure.
Hi, loved the video. Do you think the second process you used would work on my hair to remove black semi permanent color? It's the kind that washes out after 23 shampoos so it says on the box. My hair is in pretty good shape and mostly gray under the black. What do you suggest? Thanks so much.
+Sylvie Perez it probably would work! I've used the Pravana color extractor multiple times on semi permanent color with very successful results!
you can saturate the hair with coconut oil for 1 hour to over night before you bleach to reduce damage. And you put the bleach on top of the coconut oil it doesn't affect how the bleach works.
Bleach powder and water works better than the coconut oil mix one.
Hey Alexsis , i've put a tulip fashion color on my natural brown but i don't like the result at all so i was wondering that if i use malibu direct dye lifter with a 10 developper it's going to lighten a lot my hair or i will get back to my natural hair color? I was thinking putting the product less time but i'm not sure that it going to work. Thank you!!
I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice, but the title says "Without bleach" while at 4:27-4:49 you can clearly see 1oz bleach powder... And so it says in the description.
Does it take it back to the natural color, if you’ve never bleached and dyed over natural color?
This video couldn't have came at a better time!!! THANK YOU! I'm sure my client will thank you as well 😝
+aimee alderman awesome!!! Let me know how it goes 😉
Mixing the ddl with just water which is a step you may choose work Phenomenally
Is this more effective than using the clear "color" method? And do you know which one would be less "damaging"?
+victimofstereotypes2 the clear method doesn't always work for me. But it totally can just depends. This was less damage on the hair because it wasn't straight ammonia (clear color).
+Alexsis Mae Thank you for responding. :)
What are you recommendations for lightening violet / grey hair without bleaching ? Trying to take
My client to a very light silver but her hair picked up a lot
Of
Brassy tones
I had this same problem the other day i used the ddl on a client with green hair it didnt work so I heard clear from shades eq takes direct dyes out i left it on for 15 mins and it took all of her green out!
+Tara Valentino I'll have to try that!
Do I use coconut oil for all three steps? Or just the first?
Do you think this will help remove very faded black hairdye from the hair? Also, Olaplex didn't work on my hair at all. :(
also I am not super attached to olaplex, do you prefer continuum? and if you have time could you give insight on why. please/thankuu
I have a video explaining why I choose Olaplex!
baking soda+dawn dish soap+40 cream developer=no semi color left over
Is this what u use? I'm still listening to this video but shes talking a lot :( I have green stuck in my hair after a bleach wash on my old purple hair
Would extra virgin olive oil have the same effect as coconut oil
ok but what gets rid of the stain ontop of natural colour? i put good dye young rock lobster on my hair to get a little bump in colour for a little. but ive tried so many vitamin C treatments, dish soap, dandruff shampoo, and hot oil treatments and the colour is still obviously there. any other methods? its at the point where its stained, not really much actually sittin on the cuticle
Thank you so much for making this video! I used Pravana Amethyst (purple), I wanted to be back to a level 6 and tried bleaching out the purple with Blondor 40 and it turned bright green! Lol it looks amazing but not what I wanted, so I'm going to try Malibu Ddl :) personally I love the talking because you explain things so thoroughly so it becomes extremely helpful. Ty ❤️
+Christine Galvez I hope it works out of you!!!
have you ever used baking soda and dish soap, I used it to get some of my red and pink out. alot of UK stylists use it, I'm in a hairstylist help group on Facebook
I’m naturally blonde. If I use temporary color, will it actually wash out?
This video is perfect for me !!! i have blue hair with underneath white hair , so i cannot bleach unless i want to lose my hair i tried a color remover and it just lighted up a little bit and the product smell so bad i dont even wanna do it a second time , im gonna try what u said
Love katies fading treatment have been using it for a few years and I love it... two or three rounds of it and bam
PLEASE HELP!!!! I know your really busy because your about to have a baby so good luck!! BUT THERES THE QUESTION!!! My sisters hair looks like the end result you showed but there's even MORE of a green tint to her ash blonde hair! It looks completely Elsa from frozen gorgouse hair in some light and in other lighting you can really see the green undertones! I honestly don't know how to get rid of it because it's EXTREMELEY STUBORN and i'm curious....is there a toner that would tone down the green?? would red koolaid mixed with coniditoner help?
PLEASE REPLY AND THANK YOU!!!!!
would need a toner with a red, or redviolet
So what was it that ended up working? You just ended up lifting the color?
What if I directly use silver dye on dark brown hair? What color will the hair be?
I have faded blue hair. I've had it for months so now I want to go back to my natural dark brown (almost black) hair. how would I go about to get there?
I wish the DDL would have worked better for my hair. My stylist has high hopes for it working in my hair, but the Manic Panic and Arctic Fox didn't want to budge lol.
+Marie O'Brien sometimes you need to let it fade a while before trying to remove it.
+Alexsis Mae my hair had been fading for two months :/
+Marie O'Brien That's really interesting. I had Arctic Fox Poison and Cosmic Sunshine on my hair and my stylist used DDL and it took almost every bit out of my hair. The only places i was left with any slight color was where I had put the color on my natural hair. It didn't pull the color out of those spots which was okay since we were bleaching me anyway.
Marie O'Brien I used artic fox yesterday in the silver color and it turned out a minty greenish silver. its so awful!!! how did you get your color out? and which color did you use
Did u just buy one package? Or individuals? And how much?
So Im confused... Why talk about and put the directions for the oil and bleach powder method when u specifically said it basically did nothing instead of just putting in the description about the "DDL" one... Since that's the one that works...? 🙄
So I have brown hair with salon dyed blonde highlights and added a semi permanent blue colour as an ombre. Now I want to get rid of the blue using the vitamins will it take out the blue properly? Or will it take out some of the real blonde dye? Please help!
+Adri J this can alter your hair in so many ways. It's best to leave it to the professionals that way you don't end up damaging your hair.
what can you use if you don’t have bleach powder? what substitute?
Use Malibu DDL. much better than any bleach mixture
Hi, Alexsis, I really appreciate what you do to help up us, so I've been following you go a while and thanks God for this video..
I been doing my hair for a long time, but I have never tried fantasy colors before, so I went with the sky blue from ion and it works perfect, I had a balayage before, so it looked amazing, but I got tired of it, so I used color fix to remove the color, but didn't work, so with no results, I used bleach and it works, but at the end I still have some of the green, even when I use a 7NG. My question is, can I use the Malibu DDL and use a permanent hair color over it again?
Thanks in advance !!
Whats continuum please
Does this only work for hair that has been previously bleached? I have colored red-copper hair and just had the underneath colored with Pravana blue and purple and it keeps staining my red hair. So now I have ugly greenish ends... can I use this method to help get the green out?
Yes it can remove the blue/green if its direct dye pigments.
I have a client that colored her own hair at home black, and wanted to go to a platinum blonde. before she colored it black, it had been many different bright colors, including pink. I used lightener, twice, a week apart, and everything came out perfect except she still has a baby pink band on her midshaft. Do you think the ddl would work? or do you think if I couldn't get it out with lightener it's not happening.
maybe a high lift? I know Kenra has a few.
Thank you for the suggestion!
Start with a color remover, you may need a couple of process. I like the brand Vanish
How long did you leave the shades Q 9rb toner in her hair?
Hi there thanks for the video was wondering does ddl have smelly smell like a perm I once used a colour remover and it made my hair stink permanently like perm solution cheers
+Aicha Elm the Pravana Color Extractor smells like sulfur, but the DDL doesn't really have a smell at all. I think because it's not working on oxidative dyes.
question, if i have bleached highlights, will temporary hair dye ruin that?
Is that blank canvas her original hair color or no?
DrawingWithZu No, actually her natural color seems to be a bit darker (you could see it towards her roots new growth) the blank canvas for silver hair refers to hair that is clean of natural pigment, meaning it has been bleached. It is also a blank canvas for color dyes since they won’t look their best if applied onto naturally dark hair. Hope this helps🤗🥰
