Black is a very personal color, and it can give you a sophisticated, wild and strong look. But, the reality is that it’s one of the colors that requires the most maintenance. Because your roots can become terribly obvious after just a month. And that, of course, depends on your hair care routine and how often you wash your hair. That’s why many women get tired of black dye really quickly. And that’s when the true fight happens. Because unfortunately, black and red dyes are the hardest ones to get rid of. Hard, but not impossible. But, first, before you get down to getting rid of the black dye, you’ll need to put your hand to your heart, and just like if you were in confession, be honest. Not only do you need to be honest with the priest, but you also need to be honest with yourself.
If that’s the case, then you can bleach your hair in order to get rid of the black dye, which is a quick process, but also an aggressive one. If your hair is in good condition, though, you don’t need to worry. You just need to be very careful to follow the necessary after-care steps. If your hair isn’t in good shape, then you can still get rid of the black pigment, but you’ll need to do it slower, using something known as clarifying shampoo. Once you’ve gotten rid of all of the black dye, you can use that light brown color you’re dying for. But, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Stick around, and I’ll tell you:
After today, you’ll be able to say “Goodbye” to black hair forever. Well, at least to the black dye in your hair. Tabla de Contenidos
How to get rid of black dye with clarifying shampooIf you’ve decided to go for this option, it’s because you think that your hair won’t hold up to bleaching it. And I love women that are careful with their hair, putting its health over quick results. So, congratulations! Because clarifying shampoo is an excellent tool if you don’t want to put your hair through a session of bleach or if your hair was damaged by previous rounds of bleach or too much dye. That’s because clarifying shampoo doesn’t damage your hair or affect its structure. But, you need to keep in mind that black dye is very persistent and difficult to completely get rid of. As such, you’ll need to use clarifying shampoo 2-3 times to get your base color to appear. What do I mean by base color? I mean that clarifying shampoo only gets rid of artificial pigments, not natural pigments in your hair. So, after using the shampoo 2-3 times, your hair will be the color it was before you dyed it. How to use clarifying shampooI suggest not using clarifying shampoo in the shower. It’s better to just focus on your hair when you’re using it.
If you don’t know which color of light brown dye to choose, don’t worry. At the end I’ll tell you how to choose the right one. Now it’s time for the people that have hair in good condition and want to bleach their hair to get rid of the black dye to hear what they need to do. How to get rid of black dye by bleaching your hairBleaching your hair is an aggressive chemical process in which you use two ingredients: hydrogen peroxide and bleach powder. The peroxide, also known as developer, opens your hair cuticles so the bleach powder, or ammonia, can enter your hair fiber and eliminate the color inside, whether it’s natural or artificial. I repeat, it’s very important that your hair is healthy when you do this because the bleach powder dries out your hair fiber in an extreme way. If your hair isn’t healthy, you’ll end up with straw-like, limp hair with lots of frizz. And if that happens, there won’t be a light brown dye out there that will fix your problem. Do you want to know a little secret for minimizing the damage the chemicals do to your hair? Coconut oil! Put approximately 8-10 drops of coconut oil in the palm of your hand, then massage it into your hair from ends to roots, at least three hours before you bleach your hair to moisturize it and to protect your hair fiber. Once those three hours have gone by, you can start bleaching your hair. Ingredients:
Get the necessary items together, then start the process:
Of course, you can’t just go and bleach it again immediately. It’s best to wait 15-20 days before doing it again, and to moisture your hair with hair masks during that time. Now, here comes the most exciting part: choosing your new hair color, which will be light brown in this case. But, what kind of light brown? How to choose the right light brown for your hair after getting rid of black dyeIn order for your hair to turn out perfectly, you should choose a light brown dye depending on what color is left after the bleach process or the clarifying shampoo. Can you choose just any old light brown color? Truthfully, no, because you need to opt for one that neutralizes any unwanted tones that might have appeared in your hair. As you’ll see, black dye usually has red or orange pigmentation, and once you’ve gotten rid of the dye, it can leave those tones in your hair. Tones that you should neutralize. Each hair color has another color that neutralizes it. For example, green neutralizes red. What are your options?
