Developlus FCOP0002 Color Oops Hair Color Remover, Extra Strength, Extra Conditioning

Product Information

This hair colour remover works only on permanent hair colour. It is not effective on temporary dye nor will it remove cuticle staining. If you cannot get to a salon (due to the world issues), then go down the Decolour Remover method and get the brown out. But remember the hair is going to look very warm when you first remove it. Do not panic but just appreciate you might have to suffer this warmth for a week, because you cannot apply a permanent colourant immediately after using Decolour Remover.

From what I can gather, Cool Ash is what you recommend however, I can’t help but think that I would essentially be going through the process to end up with still brown hair a couple of tones lighter than I am now with the “gloss” and it’s only an assumption that it is really a semi permanent colour or rinse as we call it in Australia. Hi there. You need Decolour Remover, not Decolour Stripper. However keep hold of Decolour Stripper as it could come in useful later on. Firstly, get your daughter to do a bicarb rinse on her hair. I have written an article about this, but it will destabilise the dark colour molecules and make them more prone to fading and removal. This is another hair colour remover designed to work on both permanent and semi-permanent dye. Like the Colour B4 permanent and semi-permanent remover, it also smells somewhat awful. It will be some days before the smell is out of your hair.

Frequently asked questions

The Scott Cornwall Decolour strips out all kinds of permanent hair dye and you can reapply hair colour immediately. If you have applied a colourant and the result is too dark, wash the hair in baby or clarifying shampoo immediately, several times. Most home hair colours contain an after-colour conditioner, which is designed to help the colour molecules settle inside the hair. If you’re not sure you are happy with the colour, washing it will remove any barriers from the conditioner and unsettle the new permanent colour. 3. Act Fast to Remove Dark Colours Now, the colour to lighten is what’s confusing me. The foils which I assume are still underneath and because of the bleach or whatever was used to lighten it and keep it that way over the years is essentially going to turn out a different tone/result from my natural colour in amongst it including my roots. I need you to tell me which colour restore to put in my hair. You can still brush and wash your hair without worrying it will fall out. If it feels slightly dry, a moisturising conditioner is all you need.

You have also said you have darker roots with some grey. So this is indicating to me your hair needs the lightening method it used to have. So the below would be my suggestion to you:- If you are not a fan of bleach and want to get the artificial colour out and transition to grey, I would recommend you use Decolour Remover. I would recommend you start with my Colour Restore Chrome as I think this will even up the white roots to a silver and then balance the pink ends. If you wanted to be a deeper silver you could use my Colour Restore Cool Ash. I would then recommend you use a silver shampoo as your cleanser and then Colour Restore as your Conditioner. Just until you balance out the hair colour. With Colour Restore you need to initially do a 20-minute development (apply like a conditioner to towel dried hair), then after this, just use a little as a conditioner after each wash for 2 minutes.

How do hair colour removers work?

This hair colour remover claims to remove both permanent and semi-permanent hair dye. A majority of customers report positive results with a few complaints here and there. But the biggest issue is the smell which can last for several days. The key to successful hair colour is achieving a good base shade. If you are looking to go blonde, obtaining a dark blonde base shade can prove a good canvas for highlights. If you prefer darker or brunette hair, always ensure you only apply colourants to your regrowth and do not apply throughout the hair – this will prevent colour build-up. Using toners and colour-enhancing shampoos will also retain your shade. It’s important to thoroughly wash out all the dye. If even a little is left behind, it could start re-colouring your hair again. That’s why many hair colour removers recommend rinsing for 20 minutes or more.

Some people found that they could leave their hair that way after de-colouring it. The remover works evenly without leaving any blotches and uneven coloured spots. But if you are not comfortable with the final colour, you can use a dye immediately after. What we like about it: This is a safe and effective way to remove colour from your hair. It will gently strip away dyed colour from your hair without using bleach products, which is a great bonus and will protect your hair from damage. If a colour is too dark, try to remove it immediately or within 48 hours. The fresher an artificial colour is, the easier it will be to remove it from the hair, especially if you have already washed it several times with baby or clarifying shampoo. Newly applied darker hair colourants that you want to correct will only require a hair colour remover – they shouldn’t need a hair colour stripper. 4. Be Patient With Colour That’s Too Light Ok, I have naturally medium brown hair with a few greys. For years I have had foils put in which lighten it significantly to be a light blonde but not to the extent of platinum. I always use purple shampoo so I didn’t have warmth.If you have established that it was the shade that has caused your hair to go warm, golden, copper or red due to the secondary tones featured in the product, applying a hair colour remover should rectify this issue. 7. Strip or Switch to Balance Natural Warmth There are a lot of DIY hair colour remover suggestions you’ll come across when you search online. Some people will suggest baking powder and dandruff shampoo, others will say vinegar and others lemon juice. Generally, if your hair feels strong it would take several treatments. If you apply Decolour Stripper (blue box) to wet hair and work it through, it should go lighter and redder. To get a good base to create a red shade, you want to get the hair stripped to an orange-red level. Then apply a permanent red shade to the hair immediately afterwards. Whilst you cannot recolour with a peroxide based shade immediately after Decolour Remover (red box), Decolour Stripper is designed for the purpose of immediately re-colouring. While most hair colour removers require that you wait several days or even weeks before you apply new colour, you can re-colour your hair immediately after using the L’OREAL ColorZap colour remover. In fact, L’OREAL advices that you plan to re-dye your hair immediately. Many people are very grey around the front and believe they are this silver colour throughout. However, when they remove they discover they are not as grey as they thought they were. The key to this is how coppery your hair looks when it removes. Generally, very grey hair will tend to look a faded nicotine yellow when you remove, whereas less grey hair will look a rusty or coppery brown. Both ways can be toned, but the removal aspect has to be the indicator to what level of grey/white you have. Often, when people remove they find the hair looks as though it has been highlighted, which can be a positive to work with.

Hi Emma. This is a complicated one, because your hair is patchy so (generally) the colour will take differently on different parts of the head, unless you kind of break it up. When you apply a permanent colourant, the peroxide in the colourant will lighten the hair a level or two, pretty much exactly as Sun-in works. However, you cannot see this underlying lightening because the artificial colour molecules sit on the top. When you use a hair colour remover it takes out the artificial molecules and exposes the lightened hair underneath. This is where many people discover the previous colourant lightened their hair to a coppery colour. However, if you have long found your hair lifts to a nice colour with Sun-In, it’s very possible that if you used Decolour Remover, you would discover the hair was a shade you liked underneath, as that peroxide in the colourants developer would have been lifting up your natural brown hair, just as Sun-In does. Next, I recommend getting a box of my Decolour Stripper. I am recommending this for the process I am about to suggest, because I know Decolour Stripper is kinder on hair that has been multi-processed and will enable you do a second process afterwards.Therefore, when people with grey or white hair use a hair colour remover, they do not expose the grey, but instead, tend to get a blonde or warm blonde result. Hi Diane, firstly yes natural golden tones are warmth, but here is the thing. People tend to hate Sun-In because it can only lift by about two shades and generally exposes the warmth in the hair. It seems that you actually quite like the effect this has on your hair, so it leads to my next suggestion.
