Directions:

For full color correction:

1. Apply to dry hair.
2. Mix equal parts of  Colorfix Part 1 Color Reducer and Part 2 Conditioning Catalyst in tint bowl or an applicator bottle. (Mix as much as will be needed for the density and length of hair that requires correction.) Wearing gloves and using a tint brush, apply quickly and evenly to the hair. If mixed in an applicator bottle, shake vigorously until thoroughly mixed (45 seconds to 1 minute). Gently work through the hair to ensure even penetration. After mixing Part 1 Color Reducer and Part 2 Conditioning Catalyst, use as quickly as possible, since the activity of the mixture decrease with time.
3. Cover loosely with a plastic cap, and process up to 20 minutes. Strand test frequently. Low, warm dryer heat may be used to speed processing time.
4. Rinse hair for 3-5 minutes and shampoo. If sufficient color is not removed, repeat Step 2 and 3 (this may be done on damp, towel-dried hair). Depending on condition of scalp and hair, do not repeat process more than 2-3 times.
5. When desired level of color removal has been achieved, apply Processing Lotion for 5 minutes. (Due to the nature of dye molecules, it is possible that hair may redarken to an unacceptable level. If it does, repeat Steps 2-4 on damp hair, until sufficient color is removed.)
6. Rinse well. Dry hair with a warm heat setting. (A hot setting may cause scalp irritation.) You may now proceed with your color application, if performing a full color corrective service.

For slight color correction (lighten color that has gone too dark or ashen):

1. Mix 1/4 oz Part 1 Color Reducer + 1/4 oz Part 2 Conditioning Catalyst + 1 oz Shampoo.
2. Wearing gloves, apply to damp, towel-dried hair. Apply only to the areas of the hair that require lightening, and work into lather. To determine timing, take a strand test frequently.
3. When the desired shade has been reached, rinse thoroughly and shampoo.

Tips for successful color correction:

• Always strand test color formulas to be used prior to application. Remember, porous hair will absorb colors more quickly and the resulting hair color may be slightly darker. You may need to formulate 1-2 levels lighter than desired result.
• Always use a low pH conditioner after an application of Colorfix. This will help protect the hair, and return it to a more normal state.
• Colorfix is developed to remove oxidative dyes. Since most semipermanent colors are combination of direct dyes and oxidative dyes, Colorfix may only partially remove these.

I can't say enough about this product!!! I just got done using it, and it is amazing! Here's my story: My hair is naturally dark blonde, but I have been coloring a light blonde shade for a few years. It looked good, but part of me had always wanted to be a redhead. So I picked up a box of Clairol Natural Instincts in Spiced Tea. It looked great. I got a ton of compliments on the color. The only problem was it wasn't permanent, so it faded quickly. I tried to duplicate the color in a permanent shade by Herbal Essence but it came out a dark burgundy color and faded quickly to a terrible pinkish color after a week. I was desperate to get it out so I tried Colorfix. I followed the instructions, and left it on for about 20 minutes. I skipped the processing lotion, because most reviews said to omit it. My hair was turning back to blonde before my eyes! It was not as light as I had previously dyed it, but it was not as dark as my natural shade. It still came out a very neutral light-medium blonde shade though with no crazy undertones. I won't even need to redye! As for the smell, it did smell a bit like home perm solution, but there are street intersections in Las Vegas that smell a lot worse. It didn't seem to do much damage. My hair feels soft, but I did notice some hair did come out as I was applying the stuff and rinsing it. Nothing major though. All in all, a great product, and I would give it 10 stars if I could!

Awesome Product!

I'm now a college freshman, but I started dying my hair in the 7th grade. My natural color is a dark ash blond, pretty boring. Since then, I've been every color from bleach blond to black. Most recently it was a medium to dark auburn. However, I wanted to go back to my usual light blond. After reading hundreds of reviews, I decided to try One n Only Color Fix. My hair is slightly below my collarbone, so I bought two boxes. I applied it twice in a row, and my hair was an orangey-yellow. I then applied the toner and while it took away the brassiness, it was a little darker, a light to medium auburn. I then applied the Colorfix two more times, and my hair was just yellow. I used an Ion deep conditioner packet and then applied a lightest natural blond hair dye, because I read that the porousness of the hair increases, meaning that you need to choose a dye far lighter than what you want. I found this to be true, as it turned out to be a light caramel color. It looks gorgeous, but I'm going to redye tonight in the hopes of getting a blonder shade. All in all, this saved me a ton of money and time at a hair salon. I never thought I'd be able to to blond so easily! By the way, it does smell terrible, but it's worth it! Also, it left my hair very dry after each application, but a deep conditioner fixes that easily.

Finally figured it out :)

Ok - I have med/dark brown hair with grays, I bought med brown hair color (I tried a new brand like an idiot) and it turned my hair jet black. I didn't know how to fix so I kept coloring it like that for 6 months and couldn't take it anymore. I used ColorFix and it turned my hair bright neon orange (which was fine so I could re-color like I wanted). I bought light ash brown color and left it on for only 5 minutes and my hair was once again jet black :( So the following day I did it all over again except this time I bought honey blond hair color which turned my hair dark brown. I'm happy. Just be careful when choosing your new hair color after using this - go WAYYYY lighter than you would ever imagine!!

Very Impressive
Reviewer: Ruth from Raleigh, NC   2009-12-23

OK my natural hair is a dark blonde and during the past 10 years I colored every color of the rainbow. 2 yrs ago I colored dark brown, then highlighted it, then brown again, then blonde and then two months ago I bleached it to make it more blonde, the problem was that it turned blue, so I colored Deep Red and I reapply that color it was Plum!!! Then I had a job interview and I want it to tone it down so I got a level 6 ash brown and I ended with two colored hair. So after a lot of research I decided to use this product and in only 20 min it got almost all the red out, I reapply and my hair is a very natural looking warm blonde. My hair is shiny and smooth. Is true that I have a few reddish looking streaks like very subtle highlights but I liked them. The only advice is make sure you have enough product to saturate your hair and in case that you need to repeat the application, the smell is a little strong, similar to a perm but other than that is totally worth it.
