I was looking for someone to do this with grey outgrowth!! I already bought it so I think I'll try it, but you've given me a realistic outlook on what to expect. Thank you!
The thing is, when you color your hair, some color is taken out first (that's the action of the peroxide) and then the dye is deposited (usually the second bottle that you add to the first bottle). When pigment is removed from your hair, you'll almost always have red, yellow or orange left because those are underlying pigments. So you can't go back to your "original" color with Color Oops. It did lighten, so it took some of the dye pigment out.
That is exactly what happened to me. I had years of dark brown dyed hair. Used color oops on it and it came out the color on the color oops box, orange. The foul smell is from sulfur in the product.
I love this generation. It's so "mom" and I love it. How you begin the video with "okay!" Haha ❤ it reminds me of my mom. I just know you guys listened to Cindy Lauper as a teenager.
Thank you for doing exactly what I have been wanting to do for a month. Since it appears to have lightened your hair then that was a success. Also I love your video you are hilarious ❤️
I am about to do this to my hair tonight to try to take some of the box color out of my hair that made it so dark I don’t like it I hope it works for me ...I didn’t see a difference in yours at first until I went back again and watched it a second time then I took a screenshot of the beginning hair and compared to the end result it did lighten it up some of u go back and look this way side by side u can see it ...thanks for the review I had been wanting to know what it would do to people with grey I have a lot didn’t know if it would make me all grey I see now it won’t it will just lighten the color ...works for me cause that’s what I want ..wish me luck
Oh my goodness! I wish I had seen this before I spent 40 min under the shower tonight! My hair (roots as well as the rest) is almost identical to yours before you applied the Color Oops. I wanted to go fully natural and let my gray flag fly! Now I’m blonde!😳
Thanks for going for going all in on the experiment and posting! Exactly what I was going to try to get the box brown out of my greys. You saved me from the stink!! 😊 Guess I'll wait for it to grow.
To be fair stinks while you’re applying and let it rest , my experience after washing throughly for more than 20 minutes is gone , a lot of people said on reviews their heads still smells after a week, not my case😊
It wouldn't work for you because your hair was already ata light orange tint. And that's basically what color oops does. For example, I had been dying my hair black for 12 years and it was almost to my butt, I chopped it and used color oops to remove the black color. I had to use it 3 separate times but all the black is gone and left with a orange color. Now it's on to the next color. Because it's expected that a coloring will follow, even says so. But not required if you like the orange color.
It turned my hair red too, lol. I wanted to get rid of red brown hair dye that just would not leave and nope, made it bright light red, even worse and now my hair and house smell horrible. I'm trying to wait at least 12 hours to re-dye my hour but I don't know if I can, I am sure not going out in public like this!
I've just been using purple shampoo and conditioner once /twice a week its making my silvers brighter and appears to be making the colour on the ends a little lighter also ://

I've been looking for the same thing. Glad I ran across this video.

It’s good to know it won’t effect the silver roots.

You have such a great sense of humor 😄

Diana Trammell I’m so sorry! I was super disappointed, but with patience, I got to where I wanted to be. You will too!

Instead of chopping off the damaged hair like I did, have it professionally colored silver to blend with your roots.
Yes, that's exactly what I ended up doing! :)

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this. I was wondering should I try it, and this helped me decide. Much appreciated!

I did it today , and had the same results as you, I will do another round in couple of weeks then apply the color need it ❤
Aaww man. I was thinking of doing the same out of curiosity to see if my hair would be white where it was once white. I guess that's a no then.
No such luck, unfortunately. :(
Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to know!
You crack me up. That didn’t work at all! I’m taking it back
I love your personality 😃

For best results put a toner now and it will take more orange tones out.
Man that’s a shame. It DOES look lighter. But only slightly. Did you try it again?
Were you trying to remove permanent color? I’m trying to find semipermanent color oops results but I loved your vid!!👍👍👍💕🤣
Hey there! Yes, I was trying to remove old perm color. 😁
Wow just realized your sweat shirt says Allen Eagles, I live in Allen!
It doesn’t work on natural gray hairs. It only removes artificial colors that’s why it didn’t work
I was on my way to gray, that's why I was using it; to remove the artificial color that was covering it.
It worked for me so well. I'm sorry it didn't work for you
It's OK, hair has grown out and I am all natural now. I'm glad it worked for you!
This never works for me
😂 honey you're hair is exactly the same
Lol, right?? Oh well! I’ll tell you one thing, it was as dry as the dang Sahara!
Looks the same good try
