Directions:
For full color correction:
- Apply to dry hair.
- 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.

test frequently. Low, warm dryer heat may be used to speed processing time.
- Rinse hair for 3-5 minutes and shampoo. If sufficient color is not

Depending on condition of scalp and hair, do not repeat process more than
2-3 times.
- 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.)
- 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):
- Mix 1/4 oz Part 1 Color Reducer + 1/4 oz Part 2 Conditioning Catalyst + 1
oz Shampoo.
- 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.
- 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 have medium to dark brown hair naturally but have been dying is black using Natural Instincts semi-perm. black hair color for years. I have been to salons before to have it lightened only to leave with black hair still. I finally found color fix and tried it even though it is generally for permanent color. I used two applications for the full 20 minutes and I also applied heat. It turned my hair a really nice rich brown. The black it totally gone and I didn't even have to dye it after because the brown so nice. I have been looking for a product like this for years. Don't listen to what the hair stylists tell you, you can get black dye out of your hair without damaging it. My hair is as healty as it was before I used this product. I LOVE IT!
It worked

I had almost given up with my hair - I thought I was at a point of no return !!!! ...until I tried this product. I thought it was a bit expensive, but for what it did, it was worth it! My hair actually turned out better than expected!
I had so many colors in my hair - from blond to auburn to dark brown, to light brown, then I tried to get my hair back to my a natural beige blond, but my hair turned orange and green!!! OMG, I tried and tried with so many colors to get it right and meticulously checked that the base would cancel out the green and then tried to get the orange out, but after about 8 different tries, I almost gave up and was at the hairdresser and she refused to work on such overprocessed hair and told me to leave my hair alone for at least a month!
I told her - no way! I was not going to walk around with my hair like this!
So, I read some reviews and figured the best thing I could do was use this product. And it was!
My hair is soft and silky - no breakage - it actually feels like it improved the condition of my hair. And I have a light beige blond color. It's perfect! I'm impressed!
I did have to do it twice - so I left it on for 20 mins and then rinsed and washed my hair and then reapplied it and left it on for another 20 mins, BUT I thought it was worth every minute and every penny!
Thanks "colorfix!"
Very impressive!

My hair is naturally blonde (Scandinavian decent), and I have been dying it black after I had an "oops" with red hair dye for about eight months now. I got sick of the touch-ups every month, so I wanted to go back to a shade close to my natural.
I tried to put blonde highlights in my hair, but the black wouldn't budge. I did some research and found One 'n Only Colorfix online, read the reviews, and ordered it.
The smell is not that bad. I found it to be less pungent than perm solution, but stronger than hair dye. I used it only once on my hair for only 20 minutes, skipped step 3 (I used my own deep conditioner), and it lightened a significant amount! I am totally impressed with this product!
The pictures I included are of my hair AFTER I used the product. It was pitch black before.
This should be a girls bestfriend!

I absolutely love this stuff!
it is amazing it works so well
i have been dying my hair since i was 12
every color literally... like most girls
Ive gone to high end salons and hated the job they did when trying to strip black hair color out, i wish they knew about this product insted of using bleach my hair has never been damaged by this stuff i will continue using it.
* points of advice
that i learned from experience are that once you strip the color and you dye it right after wait a couple of days or so and choose a lighter color than your desired because your hair is so thirsty and dry it will absorb colors deposited to hair very fast and make it dark again, but it will fade out eventually
