Just Called ConairproI only rated this a three because I have colorfix on order and havent had a chance to use it. After reading many reviews I decided to find the source and ask a few questions. Within a second i recevied an email asking for my number, and then almost another second later a call. I was told the second step which is only about a 3 percent solution of hydrogen peroxide which they claim will not harm hair is important. I had wondered if letting the hair oxidize naturally might be a healthier way to find out how much dye was left in. Unfortunately I also also told it was not for use on semi permanent colours. I had started using light ash brown perfect 10 (which i was happy with) and then curiosity got the better of me and experimented with the medium brown by perfect 10 which turned out to be much darker, too dark for my skin tone... the highlights had been played up in the picture on the box. Ive unsuccessfully tried to lighten with the light ash when it came time to touch up roots... and there is something of a tone tone effect, although at first the colours were close enough it had something of a touch by an angel lighting effect on the top of my head... rather than wait a year for things to grow out or cut my hair much shorter than Id like (its about medium length and naturally close in tone to the colour I first used... i was just trying to cover a few grays and add a little sparkle)I thought Id give colorfix a try.Conairpro insists this is not for semi permanents and that my hairdresser was right to suggest lemon juice which i hear works well for lightening with egg or olive oil, (or even a little bleach which I cant bring myself to do... as I have patch of excema on my scalp because of our dry climate. This wasnt a problem when I coloured as I used a little vaseline and never had a problem with burning.)Was a little concerned as i had read in one place never to use lemon juice on dye.. but maybe its safer for semipermanent... Despite all this and because ive already spent the money and only need to lighten a shade or two to be able to use my target colour.. im still tempted to use the colorfix. The colourfix will stay good in its box for three years conair tells me, so perhaps Ill save if just in case... maybe my sister will need it within that time if I dont.I was told that this is intended as a professional product which is why there may be some confusion among the general public about how it should best be used.Should i take the risk? Maybe i will if lemon juice has no affect... it will either work a little or not at all, so at this point perhaps i have nothing to lose by trying a little bit with shampoo... I dont think it can hurt even if it has no effect.. i did notice some people had used it on semi permanent, but may be because there is a mix of products and some permanent in their hair as well. Maybe I will have more luck with lemon juice and dish detergent... the thought of bleach scares me though... i run from smoke and switched mediums in my work as a painter to avoid toxic solvent in my body... perhaps the blue bleach? but no, I cant bring myself to try it.Best of luck everyone... and hope this answers a few questions for the curious, as other peoples reviews helped to answer mine.posted Nov 14, 2008Link to this post -

Update. (-:i added a star, because i lucked out.. i thought perfect 10 was a semi permanent.. till i read the box. its permanent... yay! i can make use of my purchase after all. Still nervous about the second step, despite conairpros insistence. I give them a lot of credit for getting back to me so quickly..so wish me luck.. i will be be colorfixing soon! no need for bleach for me thank you. (-: still thinking about a few lemon juice highlights before I do my target colour a week or two later... still a bit concerned about how light i should go with the target colour... i know its easier to start lighter and work back up... wonder if a couple of weeks in between will give the hair a chance to settle down and do some deep conditioning before i try colouring again, so it doesnt turn too dark again. How many steps lighter should you colour to get your target colour? And at what point?posted Nov 14, 2008Link to this post -

Works - Kind Of........I have naturally black (with some gray) hair and have tried unsuccessfuly to dye it a lighter color. A friend recommended I strip my hair before dying it next time so I bought this product. I followed the directions closely, except the final step after reading tons of reviews on-line and speaking with the sales clerk. The hair that had been dyed did indeed turn red. The roots though remained the natural color. Considering the product is intended to remove color, it did what it was expected to do. My biggest complaint is the SMELL. After several days and numerous washes, I still smell the product. It seems that every time my hair gets wet, the smell is reactivated. I have decided to wait a few days before dying it again, in part because I am concerned that the smell is an indicator that the chemicals are still active and may not mix well with new color. I am hopeful that by this time next week, I will have a warm brown / auburn color instead of solid black or the current carrot red with black roots.posted Nov 14, 2008Link to this post

Great Product!I have been dying my hair for about 20+ years blond. I am naturally light brown. I have gone to salons, but they could never get the color I wanted. So I decide to do it myself, but after 8 months to a year the color starts to build up and gets real brassy. I use this product to completely strip the color out and start fresh. After the product I put in a color a little lighter than I normally do. It comes out great. My hair actually feels healthier after. I highly recommend this product. I also like the idea that you dont have the use the whole product.After applying one n only my hair does come out with a orange tint. I just reverse by using a color mixture with gold base and a few drops of the color nearest to mind in the voliet base. It evens it out.Best product ever!posted Sep 28, 2008Link to this post -

Works Soo Good!I dyed my hair black about 5 days ago and thought Id get used to it but it makes me look like the Lily Munster. I tried to dye it a lighter color in hopes that it would cover the black.. but nooothing covers black. So I read all the reviews for this product and Color Oops and found that Color Oops didnt work well for people with black hair. After reading the reviews on skipping the third lotion step, I was going to do that, but the box made it seem like my color was going to come back if I didnt use it so I did. Before it was an orange color which kind of freaked me out so I used the lotion and it made most of the black come back with some dark brown color (the color i had in previously) mixed in. But I didnt get the lotion very well in the back and it took my hair back to its natural brassy brown color so Id definately skip the lotion step. I still have some mix left over so Ill apply again in a few days. But for everyone who says this will dry out your hair and damage it.. Ive colored my hair twice, used Colorfix.. and dyed it again and its as heathly as the days when I didnt dye my hair. And Im going to use colorfix and dye it again if its uneven again, so Ill let you know if it falls out. Colorfix is amaaaaazing and Id recommend it to anyone wanting to take out any color in their hairposted Sep 23, 2008Link to this post

Saved My Hair - And My Wedding!After years of overprocessing and hair dying, I decided to try to dye my hair back to its normal colour (medium brown) one last time. Big mistake! LOreals "Double Espresso" came out blue-black. I phoned several hair salons and they told me that the only way to fix my hair was to bleach it and then start over. I have baby fine hair and there is NO WAY that I could have bleached it, especially with my wedding coming up next summer. I was pretty hesitant to try this product because I figured, if its so great, then why dont hair salons use it? I decided to give it a try anyway and am I ever glad I did! I am so grateful for this product; my hair is back to its natural colour (a brownish-auburn) and it is healthier than its ever been in years! I dont need to worry now about having light roots and black hair in my wedding photos. I used the entire product, following the exact instructions. When I rinsed it out, my hair was a bright orange colour but the toner brought it back to my natural colour. I think the toner (step #3 is really important to achieve your natural shade). This is a wonderful product and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has dyed their hair too dark. The smell isnt as bad as I thought it would be either.posted Sep 21, 2008Link to this post

Worked Exactly How I ThoughtI needed a color remover to remove my medium brown shade of hair dye as I was trying to go blonde. Colorfix worked exactly how I was hoping it would- removed all the brown, and left me with a good base color of a very light orange to start with. I was able to move on to bleach and bleach my hair with less steps to get to the light yellow I needed. I wish I had known about this a year ago when I first tried to go from a dark brown to blonde.The product is very stinky, but the smell will go away once you wash your hair a couple times. I didnt end up with my natural color, but it removed the color I didnt want, all without noticable damage.posted Aug 3, 2008Link to this post

Definitely Better Than Color Oops!!!!I have brown hair, which turns kind of light brown in the summer, but I prefer darker hair when Im tan. So I bought a box of dark brown hair dye, and turned my hair absolutely JET BLACKKKK. no brown whatsoever. My hair was darker than my black dress pants! I thought I could live with it, but couldnt. The day after I dyed it I tried Prell shampoo. It definitely worked a little, but only lightened up certain spots. A week after I dyed it, I bought 2 boxes of color oops. All this did was make me look like a leopard!!! My hair was literally spotted black and brown. It was awful. So another week later I went out and bought colorfix, it evened up hair for sure. Kinddd of turned it a little red, but I can only notice in pictures. I decided to use another half a box and worked better. My picture is the end result. Its close to my otiginal color, and anything is better than the the jet black it was!!!posted Jul 26, 2008Link to this post

Does Really Worki had been dying my hair for about 2 years intensively and on and off before that from being 13. i had been using a deep brown and then decided to go for black, which turned out to be a disaster, i dyed it black 3 times before i decided to remove it. i used half the bottles, doing it 2 times and it all came out, but i think i needed to do it another 2 times to get it to my natural shade. it will never give you your natural colour back, it goes an orange auburn colour. so i decided to put a pre lightener on it to take it to a nutral shade, whcih worked and then i dyed it a light golden brown. this product really does work, just be careful.posted Jul 2, 2008Link to this post
