how to remove/fade semi permanent hair dye

So you dyed your hair with semi permanent hair dye thinking well no commitment right?? well sometimes that is not correct at all :/ you can try one of those fancy expensive  color removing kits (they smell SO bad) or bleach it (very bad idea!) But before you try that try these tips first they might not work but it won't hurt to try (though your hair will feel dry until the next time you wash it) :

you will need:

*Dandruff shampoo:

*Baking soda:

*Any conditioner (except color safe):

*a bowl a spoon and a shower cap (and a comb)


If all your hair is dyed use this:
Use a good size amount of the dandruff shampoo (2/3 parts) and about a teaspoon of baking soda (1/3 part) and wash hair like normal. make sure you really massage the mixture into the hair RINSE REALLY WELL  and this should fade it at least some if this feels like too much then just use the dandruff shampoo. That is  what I use all the time and its really working!



If you did a streak(s) or your all your hair this will work:

Mix some of the baking soda with the conditioner in a bowl. Apply to the dyed hair and place a shower cap on if its all your hair or use big hair clips to hold the un-dyed hair up if all of your hair isn't dyed. leave on for 30 min. then rinse out EXTREEMLY WELL!   and then you might still have to wash your hair to get all the baking soda and dryed conditioner out.

hope this helps :)
