Hair Color Remover

Comments about Color Oops Hair Color Remover:

I saw great reviews on this product so i decided to give it a try. My natural hair color is black, but i dye my hair auburn/red. I got tired of the color so decided to go back to natural black. Well Color Oops decided that my "natural" hair color was going to be light brown?! I followed the directions precisely so I don't know what went wrong?

I have a natural dirty blond hair and decided to try some kind of dark red/brown. It came out the color I was looking for, only very purple. It didn't suit my skin color at all. Naturally, being in high school, I needed it out before Monday. It was a little thin and smelly, but after rinsing the recommended time and everything, I took a blow dryer to my hair and was pleased with the results. The color is not what my hair originally was, but it is pretty close. Definitely not orange. Definitely not a bad color. I would use this again with another bad dye job (though I hope I don't have to!)

I'm a natural redhead/strawberry blonde and I used this when I dyed my hair unbleached using Ion Color Brilliance in purple and the bottom aqua with the same brand. I was expecting my hair to be light enough to show a vibrant purple but it was super dark and really harsh against my complexion. The blue turned into a sickly teal color and did not like that as well.

So I went and bought this in hopes of completely stripping all of the color, and used 2 full bottles since my hair is extremely coarse and also long. The smell is god awful, but you'll get used to it.

Right after rinsing and conditioning for 20 minutes after, I dried my hair and it got all of the purple out, but not any of the blue. So as the final result, I'm left with my natural color on top with a faded teal obmre.

The only thing I wish about this product is that it would also strip unnatural looking semi-permanent colors. I did not know until after applying this product in my hair that IT DOES NOT WORK ON UNNATURAL COLORS [Manic Panic, Splat! etc.]. It just would have been nice if it stated that clearly on the package. I guess I was lucky when it took off all the purple!

If you have unnatural colored hair, it may or may not work, depending on what color you dyed your hair. Speaking from my experience, it works on deep purples. Other than that, it's back to the dandruff shampoo and baking soda!

After months on months of wanting to try this to remove my dyed jet-black hair (I'm naturally a dark dirty blonde, but I've been dying my hair off and on since elementary school and I'm now in high school), I finally decided to brave it. I followed the directions (at first) completely and utterly religiously. And after I followed all directions of applying/washing/rinsing it took all of the black out of my hair and left it a light brown/auburn color that was actually pretty and not as horrendous as I expected it to be. But, I decided that the color was kind of boring (I'm a color junkie and I love dying my hair, and dull colors dissatisfy me and I get bored quickly) so I decided the next day I'd pick up some red dye and dye over it. What happens back was probably some of my fault, but also Color Oops! fault for not clearly stating it. The next day I noticed my hair was a little darker, but was still pretty and looked normal and healthy, so I went to the drugstore and picked up some red dye that coordinated and would dye over my Color Oops! color. This part was probably my fault, but because I read the instructions completely and clearly along with many reviews yesterday, I didn't think about quickly reviewing the instructions and just applied the red dye all over and left it in for 20 minutes. After I rinsed out the dye, I dried my hair only to find my hair actually went BACK to the exact black I had it before, this time even darker, and the only place the red I used peaked out was at my roots. I was heartbroken and distressed. It makes me upset that I spent that money on the Color Oops! and the red dye only to have my hair go back to black. And now I have actually forced myself to go out and buy two more boxes, and I plan on stripping this black out of my hair once more and just keeping it the auburn color it was before I tried to redye it. I am still hesitant to put this back in my hair because I feel like it won't have the same pretty color outcome or it'll damage it, but it is clear to me that whether or not I use the 2 boxes I bought tomorrow or return them and dealing with black hair, I am positive next time I want to take a color out, I will break down and go to the salon. (This outcome might have turned out bad because I put it in for too long, but regardless I feel this brand is at fault a bit and should have clearly stated that you shouldn't apply dye the full time after applying Color Oops!, if that is indeed why my hair is back to black instead of red.)

Just dyed my hair (by accident)a brownish/gray when using ash brown on top of blonde (highlighted blonde). Oops took out the horrible color and left me with a different, but nice blonde and kept my natural gray covered. I used a super heavy conditioner afterwards & left it on for 20 min. My hair is soft and doesn't look overworked! Wish this stuff was around 40 years ago!

This is my second time using Color Oops (since 3 years ago or so) and I recommend this product to EVERYONE! Its a lifesaver :)

My hair is naturally strawberry blonde, but its been through every color on the planet. Most recently, my hair suffered a bad dye job (i knew better, but went against my better judgement and allowed a friend to pick my boxed dye colour :/)

My hair WAS a heinous shade of bright red at the roots and dull mousey brown throughout the rest... It looked so bad even my husband commented on how bad it looked and he neevr notices anything...

So I used Colour Oops as directed and rinsed for 20 minutes followed by a deep condition. I blow dryed my hair and its a lovely EVEN strawberry blonde. Its kind of flat, but nothing a little demi permanent dye wont fix :) Just gotta add that shimmer... Other than that its a liveable tone and certainly beats my previous shade.

NOTE: I have read of a lot of people complaining that it didn't work and that their hair is naturally black and this product turned them orange... This product SPECIFICALLY states that it WILL NOT reverse any lightening... This product only works for people whose hair is TOO DARK or off tone from dyeing. It will not fix a bad bleach job or correct lifted hair- other than even out the tone. Read the box people.

It works! I've used it twice now (sparingly of course) and had family members use it and love it. It sure beats a $400 color correction at the salon!

A++

This product will definitely get the dark color out of your hair. My hair turned black after dying it medium brown. Used Color Oops and it took all the black out. However, my hair turned really light after this. Pretty much an orange color. I had to re-dye it another color after in order for it to look normal.
It also does smell really bad but I put this good smelling conditioner in my hair that helped take out the bad smell.

This product is great!! I only left it on or 15 minutes not the 20 the said. You have to really watch it. It works fast.

I am naturally blonde, no not bleach blonde, those are rare. I have medium blonde hair and have been dying it black for... probably the last six years now. I am going to Punta Cana in 30 days and decided I wanted to go back to blonde. At first I said I would go back AFTER Punta Cana, but then I got too excited.

Anyways, I had decided to use color oops, try it out, do the blonde, and if it looked extremely horrendous after my attempts I would do dark brown just before I left, which would probably look fine.

I was extremely nervous and followed the directions perfectly. I bought two color oops boxes and two boxes of hair dye. Color oops 14 ea and hair dye 8 ea. Ended up spending 50 bucks.

Did the first oops box and hair was really dark on the bottom and reddish orange on top. Dried hair, did it again. Lighter this time on the top and you could only tell the bottom was a bit lighter when I took a picture of it.
I conditioned for 20 minutes like it said and my hair was nice and soft again.

I was pretty excited, the black was gone, yeah I looked like an ugly pumpkin, but I should be able to dye over the red and be good right? WRONG

So I put a light blonde on and left it only five minutes, like the oops says too. Hair went extremely dark again. Top is a lighter brown (about 2.5 inches of top) and the rest is basically black.

SOOOOOOOO not worth it. When they say get a lighter shade than you want, they mean get white. I am probably going to try bleaching it and dying it blonde. don't waste your time.

I had bleach blonde hair when I decided to dye it burgundy. I started with demi permanents but my hait would not take the color and kept washing out. Meanwhile I was losing tons of hair as it was getting more and more damaged. Four months later I ended up with a chemical haircut and a nasty faded red-purple color. Horrific. I have been blonde most of my life and just wanted to feel like myself again. Oops removed 70% of the color out of my hair because I only purchased one box thinking "I don't have any hair left anyway" but the other reviewers are correct. You need at least 2-3 boxes regardless of how much hair you have. So I still have some pink in the back but I will buy a couple more boxes and in a few weeks, get the rest out. I have been wearing wigs anyway because my hair is so damaged but at least now I can just let it grow back to blonde. I was pretty amazed at how the red/purple just disolved away and I didn't even lose any more hair, which I was really afraid of!
