Washing off hair dye at home is a worthy alternative to expensive trips to a beauty salon. You can perform this procedure at home in two ways: this is done using professional tools or natural compounds. Consider the advantages and disadvantages of each of them.
Flushing old paint with finished compounds
In beauty salons, professional or ready-made cosmetics are used to wash paints. They act extremely quickly and allow you to wash off almost any paint in literally half an hour. At the same time, the hair wash “works” extremely aggressively: its components break down the structure of the hair and wash coloring pigments from it. After such exposure, the hair becomes dull and brittle, and often after such a hair wash the owner loses a significant part of them.
But this method has the right to life, especially if you have a minimum of time to put your hair in order. Washing off hair dye at home can be performed by the same means as in the salons, and the method of their use is described in detail on the packaging.
The most effective and affordable of them:
- "Color off", Estel;
- Art Color Off, Vitalitys;
- Backtrack, Paul Mitchel;
- "Remake Color", Hair Light;
- Vitality’s Bleaching Oil;
- Colorianne Color System, Brelil.
With the use of each of these products, even a black hair wash can be performed in one procedure. Apply the composition to wet hair and soak for 20-30 minutes (depending on manufacturer's recommendation). After removing the old color, you must use a mask for intensive hair restoration. And postpone the next staining procedure for at least a couple of weeks.
Washing off hair dye with natural compounds
Means for washing off hair dye, made at home from natural ingredients, minimizes the damage done. Natural substances do not destroy the structure of the hair, but, acting on the principle of a magnet, draw coloring components.
Washing off hair dye at home using natural compounds has several drawbacks: one procedure to eliminate unwanted colors is always not enough, you need to keep the composition on your hair for a long time, and you will have to prepare it yourself. However, if you can live with an unloved color for a few more days, it’s better to do it. So you save not only a healthy look and shine of your hair, but also their quantity.
A natural hair wash, reviews of which indicate its effectiveness, can be made from affordable and inexpensive components. Here are the simplest and most effective options.
A wash of burdock, almond, olive, linseed oil
Heat the oil and rub it into your hair. To enhance the effect, add a spoonful of cognac or beer to the oil. Keep the composition for three hours, rinse your hair with shampoo, rinse with 0.5 l of water with the addition of juice of 1 lemon.
Kefir or yogurt wash
Heat the mass and apply on the hair for 1.5 hours. Rinse with shampoo and rub balm into your hair.
Chamomile flower wash
Brew 100 g of chamomile flowers in 0.5 l of boiling water, cool.Rinse hair after each wash.
You can use chamomile flowers with the addition of hydrogen peroxide. Thanks to the active ingredients, this composition effectively brightens even dark hair. Pour 300 ml of boiling water into 100 g of chamomile flowers, mix, leave for 30 minutes. Then strain the composition and add 50 ml of 30% hydrogen peroxide. Lubricate the hair with the mixture, cover with a film and leave for 30-40 minutes. Rinse your hair with shampoo.
Honey Wash
Wash your hair with shampoo with a teaspoon of sea salt or a pinch of soda. Put honey on wet hair, rub, lightly wrap. Keep the mask for 8-10 hours. The effectiveness of the composition is quite high, since honey emits natural acids that brighten hair. With it, you can not only align the color, but also give the hair a golden hue.
As you can see, washing off hair dye at home is not a complicated and affordable procedure. Evaluate the pros and cons of flushing with professional formulations and natural products. And if possible, use those that have the most gentle effect on the hair.
