Best way to remove semi permanent hair colour!?

Ok, so I had beautiful long blonde hair, got in a grump with boyfriend, and promptly cut it into a bob and dyed it chocolate brown and red!

Don't get me wrong, I loved it but it's just not me so I am currently trying my upmost to grow it and get the colour out. Luckily it was only semi permanent! *phew*

It has lightened a lot and I'm currently at a warm brown/dark blonde colour and I am getting fed up. I've tried shampoo in jobbies which are great, but wash out and I don't want to build up any more dye on my hair. I also don't really want highlights put through every month, I'd like a nice even all over colour (plus it costs me!)

Any ideas as to what I can do, and I am NOT risking bleaching my hair at home... *remembers "Sun in" disaster!*

Thanks peeps!

I just starred your question because I was going to go to the store today and buy some semi-permanent hair color!! I thought it just washes out in so many washes. I'm sorry that I don't have an answer for you. I do remember that Sun In stuff too. I had a disaster with it :) Good luck!!

Havent tried this myself but was once told to put tomato ketchup on hair, leave it for 5 mins and wash off. Apparently it strips the colour. Could leave you with red hair though !!!

You should be able to pick up a hair color remover at your local drug store or try a beauty shop, they should definitely have it.

"I had beautiful long blonde hair, got in a grump with boyfriend" - get a spine! do you do everything your bf tells you?

"Don't get me wrong, I loved it but it's just not me..." - you are getting defensive; it just mean one thing - that you cannot explore and discover who you are, because your bf is holding you back.

i know that i am not answering your question, but this your freedom to have whatever hairstyle you like or what color your like is more important than getting the color out.

semi permanent colours only last through 10-15ish washes, but if ya hair was bleached blonde, you may not beable to remove all the colour by washing alone. best thing to do is to go to the hairdressers and explain to them what has happened and they will beable to help you. also you could use head and shoulders shampoo as this strips your hair, but dont use it too often as it removes everything from ya hair-including the natural oils and moisture. hope this helps

well the only way to get rid of semi hair dye is by washing it with head and shoulders shampoo, or fructose shampoo, or just time, some semi permanant dyes wash out after 6 to 12 washes but some wash out after 12 to 24 washes. since you dont want to get it highlighted there really isnt any more you can do,

i used claryfying shampoo on mine (pantene) and it did reduce the colour . also wash twice but remember to condition really well afterwards. good luck

I think that the maximum time a semi permanent colour would last is through 24 washes.

Just keep washing your hair as much as possible; once a day if you have the time, and the colour will gradually fade. I wouldn't advise you do anything else that involves chemicals; hair dye is not healthy and neither are any of the things that 'strip' it out. Just be patient...!
