Platinum back to a natural dirty blonde?
Has anyone used this product to remove platinum (or lighter than natural color shades) and to go back to medium ash blonde (or natural hair color)? Does this product work to help that? I've been dyeing my hair now for about two years and I'd really just like to go back to my natural shade.Thanks! Question posted by Amber Sat Dec 31 2005

If Your Hair Is Currantly Platinum Blonde, I'm Assuming You Bleach It.
You Don't Need To Remove Your Current Color But, Getting Bleached Hair To Hold Color May Be A Real Problem. You Need To Condition Your Hair Very Throughly And Get Professional Help - Coloring Bleached Hair Darker Can Result In VERY Uneven Color AND Nightmarish FADING (Brassy-Orange, Green Or Purple-Gray Hair) A Professional Would Know How To Avoid This.
Can this be used on relaxed hair?
I am an African-American women with long, very thick relaxed hair. My natural hair color is medium reddish-brown. In April I attempted to dye my hair dark brown but it end up black. It has faded some but it still darker than my natural color. Knowing relaxed hair is more fragile, I am reluctant to try this. Can this be used on relaxed hair and could someone with relaxed hair let me know their results if they've used this product? Question posted by Knasarae Fri Nov 25 2005

I would definitely say it would lighten it. Have your read the reviews? I used it and it took the dark black tones right out.
Have a great day!!

natural light blonde to reddish brown
I'm a natural very light (almost platinum) blonde with natural highlights. In the past three days I had my hair professionally dyed twice - a natural very red head and then a darker reddish brown. What was I thinking? It looks fine, but I love my natural hair and want it back asap. Will this work in my situation? Any other recommendations to make the color fade faster? Please help!

Do you have to re-color after using the stipping solutions?
Do you have to re-color after using the stipping solutions or can you leave it like it is? I just want to restore my "natural color" and don't want to color any more, is this the product to use?Also, does it work on semi-permanant hair color? Lastly, does it work on dyes that are lighter than your natural hair color? Thanx:) Question posted by Rachelle Mon Oct 31 2005
Half natural and half colored
My hair is naturally dark brown. I used to dye my hair light golden brown. I got tired of dying my hair and months ago I decided to dye it black. It has grown a while and now I have half of my hair natural and half dyed hair. I don't know where the dyed hair begins cause the color of the dyed and my own is so similar. I want to change the color of my hair. What should I do? Should I colored it again black so that It could be even when I used a color remover? Can I use colorfix on my natural hair and would it change? Question posted by Jeanette Sun Oct 23 2005

Well, I too used a semi-permanent supposable wash-out in 28 shampoos Medium Ash Brown by Natural Instincts. The only thing that worked for me was Hydrogen Peroxide 3%. It lifted the dark color a couple shades lighter. I left it on for 20 minutes.
I bought uncolor 1st but it did not do a thing.
Good luck

Hey, I had bleach blonde hair for a good 6 years when I wanted to go chocolate brown. well that turned out BLACK!! I went with it for a while, it was fun.. but got sick of it! I, too, used Natural Instincts wash out color.. and guess what.. this past weekend after 9 months of black hair without fading one bit.. I've bleached my hair twice and used this color fix twice. I've got it down to half bleach white and half orange (due to highlights in there) and am having my husband get one last box of Color fix to put on it before dying it an all over blonde. Sure my hair is fried- but I'd rather it be fried and let it grow out the color I want, then STILL have the color I hate, and have to let it grow out. My advice is STRAND TEST AND CONDITION CONDITION CONDITION! It'll all work out! Just be patient.
will it remove a cellophane
My hair is naturally red and I had a cellophane put in (bronze). Yeck, the color turned darker brown and I hate it. My question is I want to go back to my natural red color. If I use colorfix will it put my hair back to the color it was without me having to dye it. I WANT MY NATURALLY COLOR BACK. I can not wait 6-8 weeks for the cellophane to rinse out.

As a long-time user of ColorFix, thought I might offer some help:
1. It will NOT restore your natural hair color. You will likely wind up with something closer to orangey-red.
2. It STINKS. Smells like rotten eggs.
3. After you use it, you will need to re-dye your hair unless you like the orangey color. Wait a day or two and use something that is a few shades lighter than what you want to end up with. Your hair will be more porous after using ColorFix and will grab color quickly.
4. Getting rid of black is hard, but ColorFix will help. It should lighten it at least to a dark/med brown. If you want to go blonde, you will eventually have to bleach.
Hope this was helpful!
