Hair Dying help + money saving?

wayne

hi folks my wife has just dyed her hair again for the second time in 2 days.first one was with highlights that were too light so she dyed it again this morning with a mid brown dye but her hair has gone very dark(ha ha ha)now she,s panicking coz we,ve got a wedding to go to on saturday and her hair isnt right (ha ha ha).doesn,t want to dye it again incase it goes green(oh i wish).my mum told her to wash it with washing up liquid.will this strip the colour off?or do you lot know anything that will help?personally i am finding this absolutly hilairious even though i know i,ll pay for it when she calms down.

After dyeing it twice in two days, I'd think that her hair might be somewhat fragile by now. Bite the bullet and get a hairdresser to sort it out. I know it's not moneysaving but it may be sanitysaving

Use an anti dandruff shampoo to lighten the colour and then use loads of conditioner and leave it on hair for ages before rinsing it out.

Not very nice laughing at her is it?!

If I was her I would leave it alone for the moment, it will be very fragile and I'm not sure washing it with washing up liquid will have much of an effect (in a good way anyway!).

I agree with sockospice go to a hairdresser and get their professional opinion/get them to sort it out.

Try not to laugh too much at her

System

If it is freshly done you can pour warmed olive oil over it, massage it into the hair and it will leach quite a lot of colour out of it. I did the same thing once, i put on a dark brown hair colour and it came out black. After i oiled it, it turned into a more managable shade of brown.

try wella on/off viva hair colour remover, available from boots. top stuff, will take hair back to its natural colour. was a god send when mine went orange!!!!!!!!!

I did the same thing last year. My hairdresser told me to put washing up liquid in my hair and leave it with clingfilm and a towel on it for ages. It should draw some of the colour out. It will feel horrible but if she then conditions it afterwards that should help.

This sort of question was in boots freebie mag. It says to use a clarifying shampoo and that should get out the loose dye.

I would assume that using something like others have suggested would do the same.

MATH

Method One: Scrunge anti dandruff shampoo into dry hair, wrap in cling film and then a warm towel. If you have a hood hairdryer sit under it for 20 mins and then rinse off. Repeat if you need too. You must use the 'full-monty' anti-dandruff not the newer formulations with conditioners in or anything.

Method Two: Massage Spirit Soap (ask at your chemist) into the hair and leave to rest for a few minutes, rinse and repeat as needed. Spirit Soap can make your scalp a bit sore if you use it too much.

If you are going to use colour removing products I would go to a professional for advice and help. A lot of hair dyes even dark colour ones remove some of the natural colour in the developing process. You wouldn't believe the sights I've seen staggering into a salon and colapse in the colourist chair after a botched tint and dodgy repair. I've seen dark brown and blacks chemically removed and what is revealed could never be described as natural (not on a human anyway LOL), with their being dodgy hi-lights under there as well I would not risk a diy job. If it goes wrong you will have had three chemical treatments back2back and your hair may not tollerate a professional putting it right.
If all else fails could she not buy a hat or a wedding themed balaclava?:eek:

I'd advise her to leave it for a while and treat it to a really good conditioner.
