Guys. I tried this. I used the garnier fructise “darkest brown” and it made my hair black. I’ve dyed my hair before and when doing it deeper brown the dye always came out purple when I washed it right? This time it was blue. I HARDCORE panicked because I had my engagement pictures that weekend. I tried this and it WORKED!! My hair is brown with a lot more of a copper undertone which is better than the black!! Here’s some stuff that I found: - I had to do it three times. The first time I left it in for 20 minute, the second time for half an hour, and the third time for an hour. The longest time made the most difference. - I used two different forms of vitamin C - the first were tablets that I crushed up and the second straight powder that I got from lifesource. The powder definitely worked better- the tablets made no difference at all and were way messier. - I tried doing the math to see if the dosage of vitamin C would match what she put in the video but honestly as long as the consistency was good it felt like it didn’t matter. - she’s right, it needs to be a paste. It’s grainy and can make kinda a mess. But. Worth it. - I had help the second time getting it in my hair- make sure you thoroughly paint all of your hair or you will get patchy streaks. - putting it in a plastic bag or a hair cap works- the heat your head creates helps the reaction. - it does dry your hair out quite a bit. I have pretty curly hair and so it responded a little differently than hers, but what I did was simply washed out the mixture and only used conditioner after. I bought a load of hair masks and other ingredients to do hair masks but I haven’t even used them yet because I used “hairitage” conditioner to help my hair freak out less and it was great. You couldn’t even tell my hair had been dried out. Dude. Thank you so much for this video. You saved my engagement pictures and any sense of pride I had. Didn’t turn my hair a perfect brown like I had before but girl it’s brown and not black- can’t ask for more!!!
damn girl! not only did you show how to remove the dye, but you even explained it visually from the scientific standpoint. i’m going to try it because i regret dyeing my hair very dark brown that looks almost like black
WORKED THANK YOU!My Daughter made a mess of her hair, blackish purple mess, and was very sad she did what she did. Daddy to the research rescue! I found this video, did as the video said, and whala my babygurls hair is back to her original beautiful Red hair, and looks awesome. Thank you for sharing this video and information! Thumbs up!~John
GUYS This video was so helpful and really worked for me. I dyed my hair dark purple but it came basically jet black with a slight purple tint. The next day I used this method to lighten the color and it worked. I didn’t leave it in for 15 minutes though because I didn’t want to lift ALL of the dye so I left it in for around 10 minutes and now my hair is a purple / red. This still isn’t the dark purple I was going for but it’s better than that black I had in my hair. This method really saved me thanks so much
I'm trying this stat! I too tried a box of Feria by L'Oreal that was supposed to be a blue tint but instead is black with a black tint, it's just too dark!
I did this method twice on one day old “dark brown” hair that went completely JET black and it didn’t do a thing. Any suggestions?? Also I left each mixture on for 1 hour and 15 minutes
Twenty One Tesfayes thts exactly wt happend with me ..i did a purple and looks black with tiny hints of purple light. I was sl upset ..im gping to try this
just dyed my hair a "black brown" as the box said and it came out essentially jet black and has a blue tint! so annoying lol. gonna try this as soon as i can get some of the pills
for you skeptics out there, this really does work!!!! I bleached my hair and dyed it a bright red (like Mary Jane red) then put 2 boxes of jet black hair on it 2 weeks later (I couldn’t keep up with it lol) and have had jet black in my hair for a good 4 months now and am sooo sick of it.. but I tried this method JUST last night and left it on for 4 hours, washed it out, and BOOM I now have a light light brown, almost a light tint like hers in the video. the stuff does get super messy no joke, but I only did 1 application, i’m about to do it again tonight and OOOOO i’m excited!!
Omg! Finally found someone i can share my exp with! I was a virgin with jet black hair and sadly went to the wrong salon to get my c-hairy popped! (Haha. Get it? Cherry/ chairy? ) I ended up with twice-bleached hair and then dyed to tomato red! I cried through the night, and immediately covered it up next day with home diy black dye, for a month now. But everytime i poo my hair (twice or thrice a week)i get pink bubbles. Which is weird. Dont see the black coming out, but my hair is bronzie under the sun. Im done grieving and i wanna start afresh. I want to wash all the colours out and go back to the bleached- yellow blond and maybe try a purple shampoo. So the question is: when you do this, does it slightly remove the outermost colour or does it wash out all the layers and go to blonde? Im so excited to try this.
Ugh im going through something similiar.. dyed my hair bright red it was amazing but i decided to dye it black cause my bf wanted it but i feel horrible i feel like im not myself without my red hair.. i want to try this so bas but im afraid of my hair getting damaged.. did yours get damaged?
gothickchik13 this method is way better than chemical bleaching out your hair. Although it does strip a lot of your natural moisture and oils, all you gotta do is deep condition afterwards to balance it out 😊
I love the fact that you explained how and why it works. I searched so many videos on how to use the vitamin C and clarifying shampoo method, but yours was so logical and well thought out. Thank you so much for going into detail!!
Hey thanks for this video, it's nice seeing less invasive ways to de-colour your hair. Also the chemistry to back up this process is awesome too, it's important to know the rules before you can bend them. Its expensive to go from black to brown in a salon and not everyone has the luxury of doing so. Definitely good idea to mask after, I'm glad you added that! (Coming from a certified stylist!)
hello i’m not sure your gonna see this from your txt one year ago lol but i was wondering what kind of mask would i put ,i have 3a 3b curly hair and i recently died my hair brown but came out black and i want to do this but i’m scared it’s gonna mess up my curl pattern .Is there any mask u recommend?
I dyed 1 strand of my hair pink recently, and impulsively dyed that piece back to my natural color, but the strand turned out way too dark. I’m excited to try this!
I did it again for a second time this week... first time I left it in for 30 minutes and tonight I left it on for about 2 hours and the difference is incredible. I have about 6 inches of virgin hair growth from my brown/black permanent hair dye, and have been using Demi permanent here and there. Completely removed the demi permanent because I can see all of the virgin hair growth . I have been dying my hair black for quite some time now, so it may be taking longer to come out but it’s a little lighter with reddish tones and the water was actually showing tons of dye removal with wash out. I think it depends on a couple factors as to how well it works for each person individually. So results definitely vary between people. Keep going at it. ❤️
I've dyed my hair blue black about 3 times with permanent dye. The last time i dyed my hair was about three months ago. I decided to give this a shot considering I was getting tired of the colour. I've tried it once left it in for about an hour and it faded the colour, and I can see the brown peaking through I'm going to give it a few more shots. Thank you so much!
hey so when doing this does it bleach your hair or bring it back to your natural color. Also did it work cause I have red hair and considering getting my natural brown hair back.
@@Sallyraee It definitely helped get the natural colour back. Didn't bleach it, seemed to break down the dye to show your natural colour. I had blue black hair back then and did it a few times and you could see a difference, think it was a little more difficult cause of the black hair but it did help get it where I wanted it.
This works great! Thanks for sharing, I found if you use Head and Shoulders 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner, versus just the regular shampoo, it really keeps the hair from drying out too much.
IT WORKED!! I'd just freshly dyed my hair black yesterday and didn't like it as it was too dark for me. So I decided to try this method and it magical worked! Thank you so much for this video! ❤️
This worked! I ordered 5000 mg vitamin c powder from Amazon to make a stronger mixture. I dyed my hair a dark brown two weeks ago and it unexpectedly had a heavy red tint that looked awful. It's now a lighter brown with no red and I'll probably do one more treatment to remove the rest of the box dye.
Wow this really works. I was originally going for a burgandy & the color came out basically black with a slight reddish hue. I used the same vitamin C she had, mixed with head and shoulders... left it on for about 30 mins and my hair is pretty much back to what it was! The paste is very dry and not easily spreadable, so I recommend adding a splash of water to the mix. Damp hair and putting the paste on in sections will also help you get an even application. Thank you so much for this video!!
OMG!! Thank you sooooo much. I dyed my hair without thinking and I hated it sooooo much. For reference my natural hair is a light/dirty blonde and I dyed it dark brown. Totally didn’t match my skin tone and I was freaking out cuz it was permanent. I tried this and now my hair is almost back to my original hair color. Just a few shades darker and a bit red but it looks soooo much better than before!!
Yo this worked!! I accidentally dyed my (usually dark brown hair) jet black yesterday while trying to cover my leftover bleached spots and it was a low-key disaster, my hair looked like a bad wig. To those nervous about this method (like I was), I'd recommend testing it on a little strand first and then check every 10 minutes when doing the real thing, to control the color. Thanks for the breakdown sis! FYI: Only used 3500mg of vitamin C with Head&Shoulders Anti-dandruff since I have short hair.
This works! My natural color is a dirty blonde. I dyed my hair a deep burgundy brown color and got bored with it after a while. After doing this process my hair went pretty much back to my natural color.
Wow, the result is great! I've also dyed my hair black recently, just wanted to try it. I had red hair before. But I used L'oreal Casting Creme Gloss. I've also realized that I don't like how blue-black color looks on me, the brown-black suits me so much better. So probably I also have the yellow-toned skin or it just seems so I don't know... But I'm glad that it's non-ammonia dye and it will slowly wash out for approximately 2 months.
Yes it will! You'll end up with a nice warm brown colour from the sound of it so just wait a bit. I think the color still looks great on you from your icon photo 💓
uhm so i dyed my naturally blonde hair with the same loreal dye, i dyed it brown but it's way too dark and now i have really ugly blonde roots, do you think this will work even tought i dyed my hair about 2 months ago?
You look better in this brown-ish color :) See, the reason why I wanna do this is because I got tired of my hair being pitch black. I dyed them several times and now I'm just done. I'm gonna do it tomorrow, so wish me luck. ;) I'm just gonna skip my dark brown, natural roots.
Brandi M, uhhh 😅 Im not to sure on that one lol - but maybe Try to keep it in the whole day? And if it doesn’t work then do a whole day and then In the next 2 weeks try again? X
It worked! I used 100 units of 500mg C + h&shoulders and left it in my hair for 60 min and now my hair is light brown again! Thank you for the breakdown, I pretty much love you rn.
I have vitamin c in my hair right now and my dye is the same as yours was, I really hope it works on mine as well as it did on yours! also, both colors look very beautiful on you, I'm glad it worked so well on yours though and that you're happy with the result
Yes this works.legit. you have to do it again and again until you achieve what color you want.but my hands got so dry/rashed after putting it.so i advise to have glove while applying the formula. Just to be sure :)
Looks good. I dyed my hair with Black Brown color and found it to be like Black, I was sad that I would have to live with this color for a long time, Now I have HOPE after watching this video that I CAN get rid of the dye sooner than later. Thanks a lot Ms Lisa Ying.
yay it worked!!! i only did it once on my box dyed hair (black) and it stripped a lot of the color out and left it a nice chocolatey brown with natural reddish tones. never going to dye my hair black again 🤦🏽♀️ gonna try this two more times to really get the black dye out. thanks!!
Hi Lisa, I went to the wrong hair color place. They ruined my hair color. I ended with this permanent pink dark hair color with a mixture of red. I followed the steps on your video and it worked!!! I god back to a medium brown. I feel so much better. Thank you 😊
I used a permanent dye, one to two shades too dark. By coincidence I washed with Head and Shoulders, not knowing anything other than it wasn't an 'approved for dyed hair' type of shampoo...So happy to see H&S is what you used too...Today, I will add the vitamin C to it and hopefully get the auburn shade I was after in the first place. Thank you for this informative video. (And for SHOWING the items and the how to...not just being a 'talking head'.)
I recently dyed my hair with the Vidal Sassoon Midnite Muse Blue about a month ago. The color made my hair dark black n barely any blue highlights. After researching how to take this color out without bleaching my hair, I'm so happy I found this video. So I will be doing this to my hair today. Wish me luck and I will let you know if it worked . Including my process
Omg! This work's! Ok so here is what I did step by step. Fyi, before I had dyed my hair the Midnite Muse Blue, my hair color was very similar to hers but I had more of a reddish brown also. Only due to the years of dying my hair red, burgundy and caramel blonde highlights. Basically it was fading out. I purchased from the store Rexall Vitamin C 500mg 200 tablets. It was the cheapest in the store. My hair already had olive oil and coconut oil sheen it. I used Head and Shoulders 2in1 Shampoo and conditioner with almond oil. Which is my normal shampoo plus it's what she suggest to use. 1. Use a hair dye application brush and gloves. It will be a sticky and crumbly mixture. Almost like a cake or brownie batter that wasn't mixed all the way. The brush makes it easier to apply in your hair. 2. Section hair in 4 sections and apply to damp hair in small sections. The damp hair will make it easier to apply and the product will work better. 3. Put a clear shower cap on your head because it may be messy. Also, you can see it working in minutes. Like when your dye your hair. 4. My experience is I kept it my hair for 1 hour after I made sure that my hair was saturated. 5. Rinse out 3 times and wash your hair with your normal shampoo at least twice to make sure all of the product is out. 6. Conditioner your hair and leave in for 5 to 10 minutes or overnite, because your hair will be dry. 7. I suggest after you rinse out your conditioner, use a detangler and a leave in conditioner and don't rinse it out. 8. Style your hair as normal . My hair color is now a medium chestnut brown/reddish color. I Love It. Not only did it take out the Midnight Muse Blue hair dye but also some of the old red hair dye that was in my hair also. My scalp didn't sting nor did this have any type of negative effects on my hair. Good luck ! P.S. I would not suggest doing this to your hair if your hair is damaged already. For example chemical, over processed and heat damaged. Or if your hair is prone to shed a lot, extensive breakage and suffer from any hair loss.
Lisa Ying Thank you so much ! I did post my results in detail ... I will be looking forward for your skin care videos if you have any and which kind and where to get them
Love that you actually explained the process of how it works. This seems to be a common issue with the dye you used. I did the same (same dye color and all) and I’m am not impressed, I did totally saturate my hair and it still looks patchy to me. Plus now that the warmer weather is coming where I live, I’m ready for lighter hair so I’m going to give this a shot to see if it will pull some of the dark out.
I will definitely try this, the one thing I'd like to suggest is going to a health food/whole food store and buying a packet of ascorbic acid, which is pure Vitamin C, in powder form so it will save you having to grind up the tablets. So I'll try the powder and let you know.
Global Yan hey, it’s been two hours. i need your response!!!! please tell me if it works bc i wanna due my hair but i have preexisting color :( plus i’ve seen other people try it and not work.

If you do this i recommend oiling your hair first. Yes, you will have to leave the mixture in your hair a little longer but adding oil before you do this will help with some of the dryness. Still deep condition after this process though. Cause your hair is gonna be dry.
This works great and for the dryness she was talking about use Pantene intense rescue shots. My hair was black when it was suppose to be blue my hair is brown now. I was amazed.
Thank you!!!!! You safed me! I put henna on my hair which was brown written on and it came out black :// and now i did your thing three times and it is soooo much lighter, thank you!
GUYS it really does work, i was so anxious to try it. My natural colour is brown/dark brown and i had blonde highlights. I wanted to get rid of the highlights so i decided to box dye it dark brown , it turned out PITCH BLACK. I decided to try this. I did it once and left it in for 1 hour. It isnt perfect bc it has a bit of a orange undertone but defenitely better than the black!!! It does work
i have been dying my hair black for a little under a year and i want to dye it pink but i don’t want to do 2 rounds of bleach and ruin my hair, will be back in a few hours with results!! update: this definitely works!! it worked on my hair but not as well as i was hoping bc silly me, i forgot to put a bag over it 😂 but thank you! definitely won’t have to damage my hair with 2 rounds of bleach :))
I’m naturally a medium brown , I had a light brown balayage and dyed my hair medium brown to go back natural ( IT WENT BLACK) can’t wait to try this tomorrow! X
My original untouched hair was dark brown to soft black. I did balayage. Then, i felt the highlights are too orangey after some time and decided to tone it with medium brown(5.0). It turned out almost black, way darker than my natural hair and I am unhappy. I need to remove this almost black dye before i can go like 7.1. Was thinking about colour remover, but hesitating of the damage. Glad i found out about vit C. Will try this in a few days.I hope it will work.
It works wonder in 1 go. I did it today. I crushed 80 tablets of 1000 mg vitamin c in a blender. Then, mix the vitamin c power with head&shoulder. I appiled on damp hair. Wrapped with plastic wrap.Left it for 2 hrs. Washed and i could see colour coming out from the rinse. My hair goes visibly 2-3 shades lighter from almost black to medium/light brown.(The previous highlights didn't go completley but i'm happy with brown. Might redo another session tomorrow.
THANK U SM LUV! This actually works. I initial wanted to dye my hair dark brown n it all the sudden become black. I had to do this three times for me to get the desired dark brown hair I wanted.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! IT DID WORK Backstory: I dyed my hair black by accident, cause I wanted to go back to my brunette natural color, after one year of dyeing my hair ginger. Si I bought the color brunette from garner and it turned black! My Recipe: I used a Head and Shoulder shampoo with a lemon in it lol and i added 30 capsules of vitamin c of 500 mg each and i left it in my hair for 1 hour and a half.
If you want to do this for cheaper you can find Citric acid (vitamin C) powder in the canning supplies section of your grocery store/hardware store And you don’t have to crush up the pills too
My hair was dyed black (permanent) 1 year ago. I tried this out for a month (2 times a week) but unfortunately it didn’t work for me. My hair is still black, probably because my dye job is older. My hair was also left very dry, but I used a hair mask and it brought it back to life. Probably going to try a colour remover next, by colorfix. :)
Hey! I am so happy that I came across this video. I am definitely going to try this! Every salon is such a disappointment when it comes to lightening your hair or even stripping the box dye out! I used to box dye my hair previous to this -> I dyed my hair to a caramel blonde (bleached) back in Jan, and I hated it so I used box dye every other month to go back to dark brown. But I am getting sick of this color. If I do this technique, will I go back to the caramel blonde or back to my original hair color? Thanks xx
Hey babe, sorry to hear that :( The vitamin C didn't sting on my scalp when I had it on but it will depend on how sensitive your skin is. Salon colourants lock into the hair much stronger than the box dye in stores so I'm not sure how well this treatment will work. If you try it let me know your result! Goodluck ❤️
It worked and it stung initially but then lessened. Now I’m a dark red, close to your color but want to go brown, just dark brown but am sooo scared of my hair going black. Thank you so much for your video. It really helped me! 💝🌸💝
Serene Artist gahhhh!! I'm so happy to hear that it worked for you! Thanks for commenting back gal. I had the same situation when I wanted to go dark brown so I feel ya ❤️
I had same thing happen. I wanted darker brown than I was, changing from summer blonde to fall brown, and I came home BLACK😭. I tried this only used a few vitamin c and left on a little while. It worked a little now have some red tones, which is fine, but still not as lite brown as I was going for. Repeating it again tonight using more vitamin c and leaving it on longer. Even if I end up Carmel or Auburn anything is better than a hat everyday until it washes out.
This seems like a good method and I’m definitely going to try it, but I have a question. Does it leave your hair patchy or not? Or does it depend on how you apply it?
Dyed my hair black a little over a month ago. Loved it at first but then I realized I’m too lazy to keep up with it with touch ups and what have you. Needless to say, it looks pretty awful now lol. Was bummed I didn’t have any Vitamin C pills but then I remembered I have pure vitamin C powder which will actually save me a step! I know I probably won’t get the results I want with one use, but you’ve given me hope to getting back to my natural color! Thank you for your informative video
I did this yesterday but with my ordinary shampoo (because why not? I didn't want to go to the store 😂) and it worked so well! I'm shocked! Also I used the vitamin c that comes in like a fizzy tablet that you put in water, like 4 of those. I let it sit for like an hour. My scalp is a teeeny weeny bit itchy today but barely noticeable. I just put on a hair mask afterwards and my hair feels like normal now! Mind you it was also very damaged before, but I don't feel like it got worse or anything 👍
Wow. Thank you so much! I had my hair colored today. My colorist suggested a really beautiful, rich chocolate color. It was just beautiful. However, it was too dark for my taste. A woman of my "vintage" shouldn't go that dark. Lol! I just tried this and it helped. I followed with a deep conditioner. I will probably do it one more time over the next week.
I'm basically in the same situation. I dyed my hair black because I truly wanted black hair, but it's looking like a wig, it's very, very dark and it just didn't work with my eyebrows (naturally blonde). Yesterday I washed it with a mixture of shampoo and baking soda, it looks a bit faded, but still dark. I'm going to try this today - hope it works!
did you use clarifying shampoo? or can we use any shampoo? or any other liquid? lol I just dyed my hair and it came out patchy cuz i had black box dye previously and I don't even wanna go to the store like this haha I have vitamin c tablets here already
hey, idk if my answer is still going to be helpful but still, i think you can use any kind of shampoo, although a clarifying shampoo works best. it was what i used
i dyed my hair with the exact same product except it was dark purple and it ended up turning into dark brown, which is the exact same as my natural color but with a blue hue so unless u look rlly closely, it looks like i didn’t do anything. now i want to go back to my bleached hair so tysm for this video!!!
I had light blonde hair, asked to go a few shades darker to my natural shade (dark blonde, a little red). My hairdresser was like "Sounds good we'll do it a sand blonde" sounded great... It came out looking dark brunette!! I've been using Vosene shampoo and baking powder, it's lightened it slightly. I tried the vitamin C but the article I used said to use a teaspoon amount of the powder (It did nothing) I'm going to try it your way, thanks! x
The ingredients that hair salons use usually make the colour pigments penetrate and lock into the cortex of the hair more tightly so it's definitely going to be harder to lighten it. If it worked (or even if it didn't) I'd love to know how it turned out so comment back if you tried it! I totally feel your #hairdresserstruggles though, goodluck gal!
Thanks for your reply. Good point, dammit lol. I already have the vitamin C so I'll try. I think I might just go back to the salon anyway, they said to wash it a few times and if I don't like it they'll put in some highlights. I am just so baffled she literally said sand blonde and it's brunette lol. The struggle is real haha. I'll let you know anyway, hope you're well x
I did this last year and it worked which I was so happy for and for some reason I recently dyed my hair black again so I’m coming back to this video to remember how to take it out lmao
This works but it does so much damage to your hair unfortunately 😪 y’all be careful bc it can leave your hair the same way when you over-bleach it and your hair thins out
it doesn't do as much damage as bleach. the only damage it does is to dry out your hair. but if you use oils (castor, olive, coconut) and conditioner to keep your hair moisturised and you dont over do this, your hair wont be damaged at all and it should be fine :)
Nomixiu What if I didn’t bleach my hair? I just dyed it for the first time a metallic blue which turned out black and didn’t like. Will this damage my hair?
jairi anaya I don’t think it will. Just make sure you use a good conditioner after to fix the dryness. If you haven’t bleached your hair it should be in pretty good condition and be fine
It should work to a certain degree! It depends on how porous your hair is now but it should remove and lighten some of the colour. Give it a try and lmk the results guys!! ❤️
Hi Lisa, thanks for the video, your explanation is great. I have a question, I want to stop dying my hair and let my gray hair been seen, but now they are just visible one inch from my roots and my demarcation line looks bad, so.. do you think if I do this process, it will remove the dye and my gray hair will be visible from roots to ends? Thank you
Diana Loya hello! Yes it should remove the pigments enough so that the demarcation isn’t so strong. The results will depend on how porous your hair is though. Also, make sure you deep condition afterwards ❤️ goodluck
Guys. I tried this. I used the garnier fructise “darkest brown” and it made my hair black. I’ve dyed my hair before and when doing it deeper brown the dye always came out purple when I washed it right? This time it was blue. I HARDCORE panicked because I had my engagement pictures that weekend. I tried this and it WORKED!! My hair is brown with a lot more of a copper undertone which is better than the black!! Here’s some stuff that I found:
- I had to do it three times. The first time I left it in for 20 minute, the second time for half an hour, and the third time for an hour. The longest time made the most difference.
- I used two different forms of vitamin C - the first were tablets that I crushed up and the second straight powder that I got from lifesource. The powder definitely worked better- the tablets made no difference at all and were way messier.
- I tried doing the math to see if the dosage of vitamin C would match what she put in the video but honestly as long as the consistency was good it felt like it didn’t matter.
- she’s right, it needs to be a paste. It’s grainy and can make kinda a mess. But. Worth it.
- I had help the second time getting it in my hair- make sure you thoroughly paint all of your hair or you will get patchy streaks.
- putting it in a plastic bag or a hair cap works- the heat your head creates helps the reaction.
- it does dry your hair out quite a bit. I have pretty curly hair and so it responded a little differently than hers, but what I did was simply washed out the mixture and only used conditioner after. I bought a load of hair masks and other ingredients to do hair masks but I haven’t even used them yet because I used “hairitage” conditioner to help my hair freak out less and it was great. You couldn’t even tell my hair had been dried out.
Dude. Thank you so much for this video. You saved my engagement pictures and any sense of pride I had. Didn’t turn my hair a perfect brown like I had before but girl it’s brown and not black- can’t ask for more!!!
Very helpful tips! thank you!! I hope everyone can read this too. Congratulations on your engagement gal
thanks for the tips! how long you waited for before applying again? congrats on your engagement btw!!
What was the brand of the vitamin C?
did it make your hair more red brown then it usually was or did it go back completely to you original color?
@@LisaYing can I use vitamin Limcee tablets
the fact that you took the time out to explain and demonstrate what the process is doing is so pure and beautiful
incognito watcher aww, thank you for such a sweet comment
I fully agree explaining how she did it end of video is why I'm more confident and able to try this with no worries thanks so much for this
damn girl! not only did you show how to remove the dye, but you even explained it visually from the scientific standpoint. i’m going to try it because i regret dyeing my hair very dark brown that looks almost like black
How did it go!!???
Please tell me how it went. I did the same thing and I fucking hate it.
Did it work?
Did it worked?
Girl. Did it work. I’m in the SAME boat right now.
WORKED THANK YOU!My Daughter made a mess of her hair, blackish purple mess, and was very sad she did what she did. Daddy to the research rescue! I found this video, did as the video said, and whala my babygurls hair is back to her original beautiful Red hair, and looks awesome. Thank you for sharing this video and information! Thumbs up!~John
So awesome to hear! Daddy to the rescue for sure haha!
You are so sweet, such a great dad! 👍🏾
Aw this is so cute!!! Great dad!!!
This is the cutest comment ever :) wish I had a dad like this lol
Does it remove the bleach... I bleached my hair for colouring?
GUYS This video was so helpful and really worked for me. I dyed my hair dark purple but it came basically jet black with a slight purple tint. The next day I used this method to lighten the color and it worked. I didn’t leave it in for 15 minutes though because I didn’t want to lift ALL of the dye so I left it in for around 10 minutes and now my hair is a purple / red. This still isn’t the dark purple I was going for but it’s better than that black I had in my hair. This method really saved me thanks so much
Glad to hear it worked babe! xo
I'm trying this stat! I too tried a box of Feria by L'Oreal that was supposed to be a blue tint but instead is black with a black tint, it's just too dark!
I did this method twice on one day old “dark brown” hair that went completely JET black and it didn’t do a thing. Any suggestions?? Also I left each mixture on for 1 hour and 15 minutes
Twenty One Tesfayes thts exactly wt happend with me ..i did a purple and looks black with tiny hints of purple light. I was sl upset ..im gping to try this
@@LisaYing
Can I use lemon juice instead of vitamin C tablets?
Your post it note explanation is the best I've seen!
O O O o agree! 👌
This is ironic. I'm watching this video after dying my hair with the EXACT same product
Hannah M LOL, I feel your struggle girl 😫🙋🏻
just dyed my hair a "black brown" as the box said and it came out essentially jet black and has a blue tint! so annoying lol. gonna try this as soon as i can get some of the pills
I feel ya girl!! goodluck
emma g that’s why I’m watching this video rn
did it leave your hair with a red tint in your brown end result? and was it lighter than the color you actually intended to dye it?
how did it come out? i have black blue hair too
emma g I likes
for you skeptics out there, this really does work!!!! I bleached my hair and dyed it a bright red (like Mary Jane red) then put 2 boxes of jet black hair on it 2 weeks later (I couldn’t keep up with it lol) and have had jet black in my hair for a good 4 months now and am sooo sick of it.. but I tried this method JUST last night and left it on for 4 hours, washed it out, and BOOM I now have a light light brown, almost a light tint like hers in the video. the stuff does get super messy no joke, but I only did 1 application, i’m about to do it again tonight and OOOOO i’m excited!!
Awesome!!! Make sure you deep condition to maintain those shiny locks 💗
Omg! Finally found someone i can share my exp with! I was a virgin with jet black hair and sadly went to the wrong salon to get my c-hairy popped! (Haha. Get it? Cherry/ chairy? ) I ended up with twice-bleached hair and then dyed to tomato red! I cried through the night, and immediately covered it up next day with home diy black dye, for a month now. But everytime i poo my hair (twice or thrice a week)i get pink bubbles. Which is weird. Dont see the black coming out, but my hair is bronzie under the sun. Im done grieving and i wanna start afresh. I want to wash all the colours out and go back to the bleached- yellow blond and maybe try a purple shampoo.
So the question is: when you do this, does it slightly remove the outermost colour or does it wash out all the layers and go to blonde? Im so excited to try this.
Ugh im going through something similiar.. dyed my hair bright red it was amazing but i decided to dye it black cause my bf wanted it but i feel horrible i feel like im not myself without my red hair.. i want to try this so bas but im afraid of my hair getting damaged.. did yours get damaged?
gothickchik13 this method is way better than chemical bleaching out your hair. Although it does strip a lot of your natural moisture and oils, all you gotta do is deep condition afterwards to balance it out 😊
Lisa Ying hey does this method strip out the box dye colour and bring it back to your previous hair colour or does it just lighten it? Thanks
I love the fact that you explained how and why it works. I searched so many videos on how to use the vitamin C and clarifying shampoo method, but yours was so logical and well thought out. Thank you so much for going into detail!!
TheDevilWearsChanclas love to hear this ❤️
You saved my life my natural hair is back I can’t express how thankful I am I was crying before this
Lena Banat awesome to hear!! ❤️
@@LisaYing can i find vitamic c in pharmacy ?
Πόπη Π. Drugstore or grocery store, yes
Lisa Ying does this get rid of light hair dye too ??
RosieHeard yes
Hey thanks for this video, it's nice seeing less invasive ways to de-colour your hair. Also the chemistry to back up this process is awesome too, it's important to know the rules before you can bend them. Its expensive to go from black to brown in a salon and not everyone has the luxury of doing so. Definitely good idea to mask after, I'm glad you added that! (Coming from a certified stylist!)
hello i’m not sure your gonna see this from your txt one year ago lol but i was wondering what kind of mask would i put ,i have 3a 3b curly hair and i recently died my hair brown but came out black and i want to do this but i’m scared it’s gonna mess up my curl pattern .Is there any mask u recommend?
oh god i love that you are not one of those loud and annoying youtubers, you are very calm and don’t waste too much time talking nonsense 💜
Angelica ❤️☺️
I dyed 1 strand of my hair pink recently, and impulsively dyed that piece back to my natural color, but the strand turned out way too dark. I’m excited to try this!
Goodluck ❤️
I did it again for a second time this week... first time I left it in for 30 minutes and tonight I left it on for about 2 hours and the difference is incredible. I have about 6 inches of virgin hair growth from my brown/black permanent hair dye, and have been using Demi permanent here and there. Completely removed the demi permanent because I can see all of the virgin hair growth . I have been dying my hair black for quite some time now, so it may be taking longer to come out but it’s a little lighter with reddish tones and the water was actually showing tons of dye removal with wash out. I think it depends on a couple factors as to how well it works for each person individually. So results definitely vary between people.
Keep going at it. ❤️
Никол hey was your hair dry after ?
I've dyed my hair blue black about 3 times with permanent dye. The last time i dyed my hair was about three months ago. I decided to give this a shot considering I was getting tired of the colour. I've tried it once left it in for about an hour and it faded the colour, and I can see the brown peaking through I'm going to give it a few more shots. Thank you so much!
Make sure you deep condition afterwards babe!
hey so when doing this does it bleach your hair or bring it back to your natural color. Also did it work cause I have red hair and considering getting my natural brown hair back.
@@Sallyraee It definitely helped get the natural colour back. Didn't bleach it, seemed to break down the dye to show your natural colour. I had blue black hair back then and did it a few times and you could see a difference, think it was a little more difficult cause of the black hair but it did help get it where I wanted it.
This works great! Thanks for sharing, I found if you use Head and Shoulders 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner, versus just the regular shampoo, it really keeps the hair from drying out too much.
IT WORKED!! I'd just freshly dyed my hair black yesterday and didn't like it as it was too dark for me. So I decided to try this method and it magical worked! Thank you so much for this video! ❤️
what color it was after??
This worked! I ordered 5000 mg vitamin c powder from Amazon to make a stronger mixture. I dyed my hair a dark brown two weeks ago and it unexpectedly had a heavy red tint that looked awful. It's now a lighter brown with no red and I'll probably do one more treatment to remove the rest of the box dye.
Wow this really works. I was originally going for a burgandy & the color came out basically black with a slight reddish hue. I used the same vitamin C she had, mixed with head and shoulders... left it on for about 30 mins and my hair is pretty much back to what it was!
The paste is very dry and not easily spreadable, so I recommend adding a splash of water to the mix. Damp hair and putting the paste on in sections will also help you get an even application.
Thank you so much for this video!!
OMG!! Thank you sooooo much. I dyed my hair without thinking and I hated it sooooo much. For reference my natural hair is a light/dirty blonde and I dyed it dark brown. Totally didn’t match my skin tone and I was freaking out cuz it was permanent. I tried this and now my hair is almost back to my original hair color. Just a few shades darker and a bit red but it looks soooo much better than before!!
Yay ❤️❤️
Yo this worked!! I accidentally dyed my (usually dark brown hair) jet black yesterday while trying to cover my leftover bleached spots and it was a low-key disaster, my hair looked like a bad wig. To those nervous about this method (like I was), I'd recommend testing it on a little strand first and then check every 10 minutes when doing the real thing, to control the color. Thanks for the breakdown sis! FYI: Only used 3500mg of vitamin C with Head&Shoulders Anti-dandruff since I have short hair.
Eanna Ramirez yaaazzz girl! Happy to hear it worked 👌
Did it turn out with redish tints or back to a nice dark brown?
Your natural colour looks way more pretty on you :)
Thank you Eduarda!
okay but girl your natural hair is beautiful
This works! My natural color is a dirty blonde. I dyed my hair a deep burgundy brown color and got bored with it after a while. After doing this process my hair went pretty much back to my natural color.
Wow, the result is great!
I've also dyed my hair black recently, just wanted to try it. I had red hair before. But I used L'oreal Casting Creme Gloss. I've also realized that I don't like how blue-black color looks on me, the brown-black suits me so much better. So probably I also have the yellow-toned skin or it just seems so I don't know... But I'm glad that it's non-ammonia dye and it will slowly wash out for approximately 2 months.
Yes it will! You'll end up with a nice warm brown colour from the sound of it so just wait a bit. I think the color still looks great on you from your icon photo 💓
Thank you so much!
uhm so i dyed my naturally blonde hair with the same loreal dye, i dyed it brown but it's way too dark and now i have really ugly blonde roots, do you think this will work even tought i dyed my hair about 2 months ago?
Sy should work to a certain extent. Give it a try! Goodluck ❤️
Omg I did that today and I’m regretting it soo much
You look better in this brown-ish color :)
See, the reason why I wanna do this is because I got tired of my hair being pitch black. I dyed them several times and now I'm just done. I'm gonna do it tomorrow, so wish me luck. ;) I'm just gonna skip my dark brown, natural roots.
Goodluck!!! 💕
Howd it go? :))))
Yes I'd like to know how it went!!
I can recomend it, it does work!!! (if u got afro hair like me have a hair mask and oils ready)
This works! I recommend keeping it in for longer if you’ve had the black dye in for longer. For example like 1 hour if you’ve had it for a month
TheReal SillySosig girl how bout 7 years?
Brandi M, uhhh 😅 Im not to sure on that one lol - but maybe Try to keep it in the whole day? And if it doesn’t work then do a whole day and then In the next 2 weeks try again? X
Brandi M Currently trying out that exact thing lol. My hair has been blue black foreverrrr. Semi permanent though. It never washed out 😅.
MAKES SENSE THANK YOU LMAO
I am trying this but it has hardened on my hair, is that ok ?
It worked! I used 100 units of 500mg C + h&shoulders and left it in my hair for 60 min and now my hair is light brown again! Thank you for the breakdown, I pretty much love you rn.
love this!! ❤️
I have vitamin c in my hair right now and my dye is the same as yours was, I really hope it works on mine as well as it did on yours! also, both colors look very beautiful on you, I'm glad it worked so well on yours though and that you're happy with the result
Thank you so much for the compliment girly! Hopefully it worked on you too! Make sure to deep condition your hair afterwards 💕
Yes this works.legit. you have to do it again and again until you achieve what color you want.but my hands got so dry/rashed after putting it.so i advise to have glove while applying the formula.
Just to be sure :)
I am trying this but it has hardened on my hair, is that ok ?

Looks good. I dyed my hair with Black Brown color and found it to be like Black, I was sad that I would have to live with this color for a long time, Now I have HOPE after watching this video that I CAN get rid of the dye sooner than later. Thanks a lot Ms Lisa Ying.
Mirza Baig you’re welcome ❤️
I dyed my hair this exact color and I'm gonna try this
ohdaniboiii me too
Really good vid! Just a tip to leave it on for 1-2 hours💖
yay it worked!!! i only did it once on my box dyed hair (black) and it stripped a lot of the color out and left it a nice chocolatey brown with natural reddish tones. never going to dye my hair black again 🤦🏽♀️ gonna try this two more times to really get the black dye out. thanks!!
Aleksa Chavez awesome!!!!
I’m praying it works for me cuz I dye my hair black and it’s purple/blue/ green/black/brown it’s just horrible and I’m so sad
Hi Lisa, I went to the wrong hair color place. They ruined my hair color. I ended with this permanent pink dark hair color with a mixture of red. I followed the steps on your video and it worked!!! I god back to a medium brown. I feel so much better. Thank you 😊
Yayyyy!!! Glad this helped you out 🥰
Dope video, so far the best explanation Ive seen. Thank you for every step you demonstrated it came out great!
I used a permanent dye, one to two shades too dark. By coincidence I washed with Head and Shoulders, not knowing anything other than it wasn't an 'approved for dyed hair' type of shampoo...So happy to see H&S is what you used too...Today, I will add the vitamin C to it and hopefully get the auburn shade I was after in the first place. Thank you for this informative video. (And for SHOWING the items and the how to...not just being a 'talking head'.)
This is so informative! I've seen a lot of diy vitamin c videos but this had FACTS
I recently dyed my hair with the Vidal Sassoon Midnite Muse Blue about a month ago. The color made my hair dark black n barely any blue highlights. After researching how to take this color out without bleaching my hair, I'm so happy I found this video. So I will be doing this to my hair today. Wish me luck and I will let you know if it worked . Including my process
Omg! This work's! Ok so here is what I did step by step. Fyi, before I had dyed my hair the Midnite Muse Blue, my hair color was very similar to hers but I had more of a reddish brown also. Only due to the years of dying my hair red, burgundy and caramel blonde highlights. Basically it was fading out. I purchased from the store Rexall Vitamin C 500mg 200 tablets. It was the cheapest in the store. My hair already had olive oil and coconut oil sheen it. I used Head and Shoulders 2in1 Shampoo and conditioner with almond oil. Which is my normal shampoo plus it's what she suggest to use.
1. Use a hair dye application brush and gloves. It will be a sticky and crumbly mixture. Almost like a cake or brownie batter that wasn't mixed all the way. The brush makes it easier to apply in your hair.
2. Section hair in 4 sections and apply to damp hair in small sections. The damp hair will make it easier to apply and the product will work better.
3. Put a clear shower cap on your head because it may be messy. Also, you can see it working in minutes. Like when your dye your hair.
4. My experience is I kept it my hair for 1 hour after I made sure that my hair was saturated.
5. Rinse out 3 times and wash your hair with your normal shampoo at least twice to make sure all of the product is out.
6. Conditioner your hair and leave in for 5 to 10 minutes or overnite, because your hair will be dry.
7. I suggest after you rinse out your conditioner, use a detangler and a leave in conditioner and don't rinse it out.
8. Style your hair as normal .
My hair color is now a medium chestnut brown/reddish color. I Love It. Not only did it take out the Midnight Muse Blue hair dye but also some of the old red hair dye that was in my hair also. My scalp didn't sting nor did this have any type of negative effects on my hair. Good luck !
P.S. I would not suggest doing this to your hair if your hair is damaged already. For example chemical, over processed and heat damaged. Or if your hair is prone to shed a lot, extensive breakage and suffer from any hair loss.
Nikki Anissa good luck!!!! ❤️
Lisa Ying Thank you so much ! I did post my results in detail ... I will be looking forward for your skin care videos if you have any and which kind and where to get them
Nikki Anissa yesss gal!!!! Comeback in the making and yes, Skincare included 😉
Love that you actually explained the process of how it works. This seems to be a common issue with the dye you used. I did the same (same dye color and all) and I’m am not impressed, I did totally saturate my hair and it still looks patchy to me. Plus now that the warmer weather is coming where I live, I’m ready for lighter hair so I’m going to give this a shot to see if it will pull some of the dark out.
Tonya Scott good luck gal ❤️
Great video. I dyed mine from blond to jet black out of curiosity. It was cool for a while but now I'm going to try this and remove the color.
David Dahl did it work?
I will definitely try this, the one thing I'd like to suggest is going to a health food/whole food store and buying a packet of ascorbic acid, which is pure Vitamin C, in powder form so it will save you having to grind up the tablets. So I'll try the powder and let you know.
Kelly Austin did it work?
Wondering how the powder worked for you. Did it burn your scalp?
Trying it now. I’ll be back with results after 30m
Global Yan hey, it’s been two hours. i need your response!!!! please tell me if it works bc i wanna due my hair but i have preexisting color :( plus i’ve seen other people try it and not work.

If you do this i recommend oiling your hair first. Yes, you will have to leave the mixture in your hair a little longer but adding oil before you do this will help with some of the dryness. Still deep condition after this process though. Cause your hair is gonna be dry.
This works great and for the dryness she was talking about use Pantene intense rescue shots. My hair was black when it was suppose to be blue my hair is brown now. I was amazed.
i'm about to do this to my hair, ill let you know how it goes. ALSO bomb video. I loved the science lesson at the end. You're cool
Haha, thank you! Good luck and keep me posted gal!
did it work
+L It came out as a reddish version of what I naturally am, but it's all even and if looks good so I'm happy
Thank you!!!!! You safed me! I put henna on my hair which was brown written on and it came out black :// and now i did your thing three times and it is soooo much lighter, thank you!
What a GREAT visual! This is so beneficial♥
GUYS it really does work, i was so anxious to try it. My natural colour is brown/dark brown and i had blonde highlights. I wanted to get rid of the highlights so i decided to box dye it dark brown , it turned out PITCH BLACK. I decided to try this. I did it once and left it in for 1 hour. It isnt perfect bc it has a bit of a orange undertone but defenitely better than the black!!! It does work
Bad Bitch awesome!!! Thanks for the feedback ❤️
i have been dying my hair black for a little under a year and i want to dye it pink but i don’t want to do 2 rounds of bleach and ruin my hair, will be back in a few hours with results!! update: this definitely works!! it worked on my hair but not as well as i was hoping bc silly me, i forgot to put a bag over it 😂 but thank you! definitely won’t have to damage my hair with 2 rounds of bleach :))
amy g goodluck babe!!
I’m naturally a medium brown , I had a light brown balayage and dyed my hair medium brown to go back natural ( IT WENT BLACK) can’t wait to try this tomorrow! X
Goodluck ❤️
My original untouched hair was dark brown to soft black. I did balayage. Then, i felt the highlights are too orangey after some time and decided to tone it with medium brown(5.0). It turned out almost black, way darker than my natural hair and I am unhappy. I need to remove this almost black dye before i can go like 7.1. Was thinking about colour remover, but hesitating of the damage. Glad i found out about vit C. Will try this in a few days.I hope it will work.
Goodluck!! Glad the video helped 😁
It works wonder in 1 go. I did it today. I crushed 80 tablets of 1000 mg vitamin c in a blender. Then, mix the vitamin c power with head&shoulder. I appiled on damp hair. Wrapped with plastic wrap.Left it for 2 hrs. Washed and i could see colour coming out from the rinse. My hair goes visibly 2-3 shades lighter from almost black to medium/light brown.(The previous highlights didn't go completley but i'm happy with brown. Might redo another session tomorrow.
Bralee Pichaiya awesome!!
Lmao this is exactly what happened to me and I’m about to try it
i had the same dark color and i hated it, thank you for this!!
wow I love this scientific details you gave us about this process, thanks!
THANK U SM LUV! This actually works. I initial wanted to dye my hair dark brown n it all the sudden become black. I had to do this three times for me to get the desired dark brown hair I wanted.
Np 🥰 happy to hear this worked for you boo ❤️
Hi. How many time you can do per week?
Just did this today it definitely works!
This is AMAZING. Worked like a charm!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
IT DID WORK
Backstory:
I dyed my hair black by accident, cause I wanted to go back to my brunette natural color, after one year of dyeing my hair ginger. Si I bought the color brunette from garner and it turned black!
My Recipe:
I used a Head and Shoulder shampoo with a lemon in it lol and i added 30 capsules of vitamin c of 500 mg each and i left it in my hair for 1 hour and a half.
So happy to hear it worked ❤️
Hey, did you actually end up brunette again or did the red coloring come through?
OMG!!! Girl you are freaking GORGEOUS!!!!!🌸💕🌸💕
very good , thanks for the science lesson ,good to know what exactly's happening.
I can’t believe how good this works!!! Omg thank you!!!!
Diana Marin awesome!!!
If you want to do this for cheaper you can find Citric acid (vitamin C) powder in the canning supplies section of your grocery store/hardware store
And you don’t have to crush up the pills too
Great video. Just did this. 30 minutes but only the subtlest change from dark brown. It may be your color was 3 days old and mine was a year ago
My hair was dyed black (permanent) 1 year ago. I tried this out for a month (2 times a week) but unfortunately it didn’t work for me. My hair is still black, probably because my dye job is older. My hair was also left very dry, but I used a hair mask and it brought it back to life. Probably going to try a colour remover next, by colorfix. :)
Thanks for the results!!! Will be helpful for people going through the comments ☺️
This was the most informative video....
Real explanation, DOPE girl
Thank you so much! I tried the receipe and my results were amazing!
Alberta Moore awesome!!!! ❤️
I am trying this but it has hardened on my hair, is that ok ?
Thank you for explaining on why this works. Awesome video.
Hey! I am so happy that I came across this video. I am definitely going to try this! Every salon is such a disappointment when it comes to lightening your hair or even stripping the box dye out! I used to box dye my hair previous to this -> I dyed my hair to a caramel blonde (bleached) back in Jan, and I hated it so I used box dye every other month to go back to dark brown. But I am getting sick of this color. If I do this technique, will I go back to the caramel blonde or back to my original hair color? Thanks xx
Call Me Dia you’ll go back close to your bleached colour! Goodluck ❤️
You look great with black hair!
Thank you Elva!
Does the vitamin c sting? My hairdresser dyed my hair dark brown but it wasn’t, it was black and I hate it. It’s too cold against my skin.
Hey babe, sorry to hear that :( The vitamin C didn't sting on my scalp when I had it on but it will depend on how sensitive your skin is. Salon colourants lock into the hair much stronger than the box dye in stores so I'm not sure how well this treatment will work. If you try it let me know your result! Goodluck ❤️
It worked and it stung initially but then lessened. Now I’m a dark red, close to your color but want to go brown, just dark brown but am sooo scared of my hair going black. Thank you so much for your video. It really helped me! 💝🌸💝
Serene Artist gahhhh!! I'm so happy to hear that it worked for you! Thanks for commenting back gal. I had the same situation when I wanted to go dark brown so I feel ya ❤️
I had same thing happen. I wanted darker brown than I was, changing from summer blonde to fall brown, and I came home BLACK😭. I tried this only used a few vitamin c and left on a little while. It worked a little now have some red tones, which is fine, but still not as lite brown as I was going for. Repeating it again tonight using more vitamin c and leaving it on longer. Even if I end up Carmel or Auburn anything is better than a hat everyday until it washes out.
Serene Artist same!!! I’m gonna try this method
best video on this process I've seen. Thank you so much.
This seems like a good method and I’m definitely going to try it, but I have a question. Does it leave your hair patchy or not? Or does it depend on how you apply it?
Noa Willemse it depends on how you apply it. Can be patchy if not spread evenly ☺️
Dyed my hair black a little over a month ago. Loved it at first but then I realized I’m too lazy to keep up with it with touch ups and what have you. Needless to say, it looks pretty awful now lol. Was bummed I didn’t have any Vitamin C pills but then I remembered I have pure vitamin C powder which will actually save me a step! I know I probably won’t get the results I want with one use, but you’ve given me hope to getting back to my natural color! Thank you for your informative video
Julie Marie give it a try and maybe the results will surprise you!! Goodluck ❤️
Explaining the science behind it was great! Thank you, I will try this method out
Goodluck
Did it work ?
Not the right science. Not correct be careful
Hi - I like your video and thank you for sharing the process.
Thank you for the explanation and the break down!
Wow! Great way of explaining the process! Thanks girl ☺️
I did this yesterday but with my ordinary shampoo (because why not? I didn't want to go to the store 😂) and it worked so well! I'm shocked!
Also I used the vitamin c that comes in like a fizzy tablet that you put in water, like 4 of those. I let it sit for like an hour. My scalp is a teeeny weeny bit itchy today but barely noticeable. I just put on a hair mask afterwards and my hair feels like normal now! Mind you it was also very damaged before, but I don't feel like it got worse or anything 👍
Ahhhh awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing your results. Will be so useful for everyone checking comments 🙌
Wow. Thank you so much! I had my hair colored today. My colorist suggested a really beautiful, rich chocolate color. It was just beautiful. However, it was too dark for my taste. A woman of my "vintage" shouldn't go that dark. Lol! I just tried this and it helped. I followed with a deep conditioner. I will probably do it one more time over the next week.

Mo and
I'm basically in the same situation. I dyed my hair black because I truly wanted black hair, but it's looking like a wig, it's very, very dark and it just didn't work with my eyebrows (naturally blonde). Yesterday I washed it with a mixture of shampoo and baking soda, it looks a bit faded, but still dark. I'm going to try this today - hope it works!
Goodluck! Hope it worked out!
It worked! thanks for the video :)
did you use clarifying shampoo? or can we use any shampoo? or any other liquid? lol I just dyed my hair and it came out patchy cuz i had black box dye previously and I don't even wanna go to the store like this haha I have vitamin c tablets here already
hey, idk if my answer is still going to be helpful but still, i think you can use any kind of shampoo, although a clarifying shampoo works best. it was what i used
Faith Geisler hi any updates?
About to try this tonight! Praying it works!!!
Brooke Beliles goodluck ❤️
You can use olaplex 3 after the process to make it healthy
Olaplex. What is it or where to find it
i dyed my hair with the exact same product except it was dark purple and it ended up turning into dark brown, which is the exact same as my natural color but with a blue hue so unless u look rlly closely, it looks like i didn’t do anything. now i want to go back to my bleached hair so tysm for this video!!!

I had light blonde hair, asked to go a few shades darker to my natural shade (dark blonde, a little red). My hairdresser was like "Sounds good we'll do it a sand blonde" sounded great... It came out looking dark brunette!! I've been using Vosene shampoo and baking powder, it's lightened it slightly. I tried the vitamin C but the article I used said to use a teaspoon amount of the powder (It did nothing) I'm going to try it your way, thanks! x
The ingredients that hair salons use usually make the colour pigments penetrate and lock into the cortex of the hair more tightly so it's definitely going to be harder to lighten it. If it worked (or even if it didn't) I'd love to know how it turned out so comment back if you tried it! I totally feel your #hairdresserstruggles though, goodluck gal!
Thanks for your reply. Good point, dammit lol. I already have the vitamin C so I'll try. I think I might just go back to the salon anyway, they said to wash it a few times and if I don't like it they'll put in some highlights. I am just so baffled she literally said sand blonde and it's brunette lol. The struggle is real haha. I'll let you know anyway, hope you're well x
I did this last year and it worked which I was so happy for and for some reason I recently dyed my hair black again so I’m coming back to this video to remember how to take it out lmao
Love this!!!!! Hope it works just as well again ❤️
This works but it does so much damage to your hair unfortunately 😪 y’all be careful bc it can leave your hair the same way when you over-bleach it and your hair thins out
it doesn't do as much damage as bleach. the only damage it does is to dry out your hair. but if you use oils (castor, olive, coconut) and conditioner to keep your hair moisturised and you dont over do this, your hair wont be damaged at all and it should be fine :)
Nomixiu What if I didn’t bleach my hair? I just dyed it for the first time a metallic blue which turned out black and didn’t like. Will this damage my hair?
jairi anaya I don’t think it will. Just make sure you use a good conditioner after to fix the dryness. If you haven’t bleached your hair it should be in pretty good condition and be fine
@@maigokonekochan will it stay dry forever or just a day or two?
You’re right. It’s important to not use too many tablets. 10-15 is enough.
Can i apply it on my highlighted hairs toh get my natural hair color back?
I have the shower cap on right now! Hope it works 🤞🏼🤞🏼🥴
GETTI lit VLOGS GOODLUCKKKKKK ❤️🙌
Thanks sm it didn’t work but it did help!!! Thanks sm
Hey black looked so cute on you
do you think this would work if i’ve box dyed my hair like a lot of times dark brown/black?
Yes someone please answer this 💙 i have so much boxed black
Raven Ashleigh literally same😪😭
It should work to a certain degree! It depends on how porous your hair is now but it should remove and lighten some of the colour. Give it a try and lmk the results guys!! ❤️
Lisa Ying buying head and shoulders and some vitamin c tomorrow!!!
Thank you for explaining it too you’re such an angel
Hi Lisa, thanks for the video, your explanation is great. I have a question, I want to stop dying my hair and let my gray hair been seen, but now they are just visible one inch from my roots and my demarcation line looks bad, so.. do you think if I do this process, it will remove the dye and my gray hair will be visible from roots to ends? Thank you
Diana Loya hello! Yes it should remove the pigments enough so that the demarcation isn’t so strong. The results will depend on how porous your hair is though. Also, make sure you deep condition afterwards ❤️ goodluck
gonna try this tomorrow, can't wait
The video starts at 1:24 :)
