Decolour Hair Colour Remover For Dyed Hair Removes Unwanted Permanent Hair Colour

I was a bit trepidatious about using this but had to try something as I needed to remove the dark purple colour I had put on my dark blonde with grey hair. I had also built up quite a few layers of other colours underneath. It's not difficult to use but it is a bit of a faff. (To be fair that is probably true of colour removers in general!) It recommends reading the instructions twice before you start and I would definitely echo that. The main stuff is a bit smelly but not at all unbearable (and I am very sensitive to smells) but the other lotions and potions smell quite pleasant. One thing that was surprising was that when I washed off the colour remover part I expected the water to run quite murky but it was totally clear. Slight panic at that point in case it hadn't worked! When the moment of truth arrived at the end of the process I was actually amazed - there was no sign of the purple or other colours left in my hair. It was totally back to normal, albeit an awful lot greyer than I remembered! This wasn't as expensive as some of the colour removers but it seems to have worked really well and the smell isn't too bad. I would definitely buy it again.

This is an abomination. First of all, the nozzle that came in the box didn't fit the bottle, so was useless. I should've stopped right then and not use the product, but unfortunately I didn't. The smell is horrendous and it lingers on, after 2 hair washes, and after using otger hair products. Secondly, it didn't do anything, didn't strip any of my hair colour. I had better results with vitamin C and Head&shoulders shampoo mix. I did get a refund, but I'm still annoyed at this product.

This product is amazing, it took one box to cover my elbow length hair. I had black over 5 years of violet hair colour and it stripped it back to the picture included.didn’t think to take before picture. So much easier to use. Put on hair wait desired time that is in the instructions, mine was on 50 minutes. Rinse for 5 minutes and apply the conditioner treatment. Done no buffering for 5 minutes rinse and buffer again like other products I have tried. Still smells like eggs. But with this result my hair it is worth it. Only issue is the nozzle that comes with it doesn’t fit the bottle. Was able to use without it.

I needed two applications, but this did a really good job of removing a year's worth of red dye from my hair. I'll unfortunately need to use bleach on top of this to go back to blonde, which isn't ideal (this could be due to the buildup of dye over the year), but I'm genuinely impressed - I'd say that 90% of the colour came out!

This is really good ! Took my hair from dark brown (nearly black ) to a copper colour , I then put a light hazelnut brown over the top straight after & my hair feels so soft & silky , does smell really strong but the results are worth it I have posted before , after stripping & then after the hair dye

i’m not denying that this product doesn’t work, because by looking at the reviews, it seems really good… however it doesn’t seem to lift permanent vibrant red hair. i followed the instructions exactly, and even repeated the process twice, but to no avail. i’ve ordered another hair dye remover specifically for red hair now, but i think this was most likely my mistake as i simply guessed it would work for any colour. for reference, i am naturally ginger, and i’ve had problems with hair dye before where it either stays for way too long or doesn’t stick to the colour of my hair, but i have used a different hair dye remover before (ordered this one as i cant remember the brand of the one i used) and it has worked. basically, just make sure you get a dye remover that will definitely work for your colour of hair. i’ve seen in the reviews that this particular product is great for removing dark natural colours, so i’d say go for it if that’s your colour and you wanna strip it! (It doesn’t smell that nice by the way. it’s not unbearable, but sort of gives off a burnt plasticy smell… I can imagine the scent will be gone in a couple washes though)

I have been colouring my hair for years and have used a wide range of brands. I never had a problem until I used Age Perfect for the first time. The colour I chose was warm golden brown and the colour shown on the pack looked attractive and very similar to previous colours I have used. However my hair did not turn out to be "warm golden brown". The colour I got was very dark - almost black. My hair is long and my fringe and around my hairline turned out slightly lighter but the rest, especially the ends were, as I have said, almost black. Other than get my hair cut short, I didn't know what to do. I tried using a lighter colour but this had no effect. I came across this product and decided to give it a try. It was quite a lengthy, laborious process which I followed to the letter and I left the product on for the maximum time stated. It had no effect whatsoever! My fringe and my hairline which have most grey, remained grey with bright ginger ends. It looked horrendous and the rest of my hair was as dark as ever. I momentarily thought about buying another pack and trying again but the first application had so little effect that I did not feel that it was worth trying it. I have to wait at least 7 days before colouring my hair again and during that period I have to wash my hair at least 3 times. I am currently going through this process. In the meantime I am wearing my hair in a tight bun and I am also wearing a broad hairband. I am spraying my fringe and hairline with Root Perfect which is a temporary spray for touching up roots. In this way I am managing to look reasonably presentable until I colour my hair again. Unfortunately when I colour my hair again, although I will chose a lighter colour, it will not colour all the dark hair I have been left with. This product was a total disappointment and I would advise you not to waste your money.

OK so this does work pretty well but I probably wouldn't use it again. Here's why: I went from bleached orange to a very deep purple/burgandy (non permanent) with black ombre roots (permanent). I decided it was a bit dark and wanted to remove it. The kit comes like a box dye with two bottles you have to mix together. The stuff you have to mix into the one bottle is extremely thick and quite difficult to get it all out of the bottle. The worst bit is, this stuff STINKS. I'm NOT sensitive to smells but my god.. It's rotten eggs on steroids. The smell filled the whole room within about ten seconds. I couldn't eat or drink when it was on because I kept gagging, I'm not joking its bad. I washed it out after 45mins, I noticed that my hair was very very dry. It tells you to comb through the hair whilst washing out but I couldn't, my hair was that dry and tangled. The balm you get for after however helped with this. Its very nice, in fact I'd love it if they sold it as a mask. I'd say a decent 80% of the colour is gone so it does work and is gentler than bleaching. I'm back to ginger with a slight pink tinge, the black roots however have just faded to brown, so it didn't exactly remove the black permanent colour even though it said it would. Unfortunately my hair still absolutely stinks of rotten egg. I spent the whole night with a bad headache and felt very sick. I'm about to redye it now so hopefully that gets rid of it. I would recommend if you absolutely cannot bleach as like I said it does work, but seriously, you can't prepare yourself for the smell. I'm not at all exaggerating. For this reason I'd be very hesitant to use again. Also quite annoyed as I put it in my basket at 6.99 then two days later it was 8.99?
