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.

Happy and Hoping
Reviewer: Janet LaCroix from Summerfield, Florida   2009-06-06

I have been coloring my roots for 18 years. I have natural dark brown hair that is long and greying. Years of using Dark Brown Natural Instincts turned my hair stubborn black. I switched to dark brown Bigen. My hair was still black. I have a pigment disorder called vitiligo, and as I am aging and getting more grey and have white skin, I looked like a dead witch. I went to a high end salon that gave me a bleach wash that bleached out my new roots and left the rest of my hair stone black again. I then tried a harsh color remover that damaged my hair. I waited a few weeks and tried Ion color remover that lightened my hair to a nice reddish brown but turned it dark again after a couple of weeks. Now I used Colorfix, twice. My hair is a nice copper brown, but I still have areas in the middle section of my hair that are still very dark. I don't want to try to bleach it as it may give me a lot of damage. I will continue to keep trying colorfix because it causes the leaast amount of damage to my hair. My hair is bouncing back healthy, so I am satisfied. I have to use intense conditioners left on the hair and protein fillers to restore the health of my hair. This is the best I can hope for, as nothing takes the place of real natural hair color. I am coloring my roots with burgundy and it looks nice. I hope this keeps working.

Best Product Ever

I previously spent $300.00 trying to get black dye out of my hair at a salon only to leave it a disgusting brown color and had to cut hair from damaged caused by stripping. I followed the directions and IT WORKED!!!!

Once you go black you can go back!
Reviewer: Laura from philly, pa   2009-06-01

I've been dying my hair black and/or very dark brown for over a year and a half now. I finally got tired of having darker ends then roots when I wanted to dye my hair even slightly lighter brown. I used this and it removed all the black!! My hair isn't my natural color but it will be much easier to dye it the color I want now. I conditioned my hair very well when I was finished and my hair appears to be in just as good of condition as it was before. As for the smell, its not all that pleasant, but I will deal with it since now nobody can call me a goth anymore! good luck!

Used on African American Natural Textured Hair
Reviewer: LSA from Dallas, TX   2009-05-31

I'm going to make this really detailed bc I didn't see any reviews for African American hair that is natural. My natural haircolor is a soft black (a #2 for those of you that wear weave...LOL) and i dyed my hair to a jet black with Waterworks brand and about six mos later dyed it blue black L'Oreal Preference in Onyx Sheen. Two mos later (now) the Loreal color completely washed away and I was left with soft black at the roots of my hair and jet black on the bottom half of my hair. Plus, it's summer and I want to go lighter (think Chili from TLC). I did a strand test and it seemed to take out all the color with the first method so I went for it. I'm pretty happy with the result. I did two applications just to make sure I had all the color out because I dyed black over a my naturally black hair. My hair is naturally a soft black and natural textured (I'm about a 3b/3c) thick and long. But, I was able to do two applications with one kit. The color I was left with was a dark chocolate brown. YES, it did lighten my roots to a dark reddish brown. But that's fine with me since I'm going lighter. Had I just wanted an even color, I wouldn't have been happy with the lightness around the hairline and temples. My hair was dry, but I think it was more from the shampoo than the product because I used C-System clean clarifying shampoo to wash. Yes, this stuff stinks, it stunk up my whole apt with just a strand test...LOL but it's worth it to get the black out without bleaching your hair.
