So I've Colour Removed, now what?

I Am Ready For My Next Hair Colour

My Colour has been removed and I am ready to Colour again, what's the best way?

Your next step should be

Wait at least 48 hours before re Colouring to allow your Hair to settle. Choose a Hair Colour at least 2 shades Lighter than your desired Colour.

For example: If you want to be a 7.1 Ash Blonde, choose a 9.1 Light Ash Blonde to achieve your desired result.



I've reached the Hair Colour I wanted!

I’m happy! My Colour has been removed and is now just a distant memory. I am happy with my leftover Colour and have decided I don't want to re Colour, but I do have a few Warm (Orange and Yellow) Tones I am not too keen on. What can I do?

Your next step should be

A little added Warmth is expected after Colour Removing, it’s left over from the Developer that was used when you Coloured your Hair previously. Your Warmth is easy to remove, all you need is a little Toning! We recommend using the My Hairdresser Toner Kit.

I'm on the way to my dream Hair Colour!

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I just need to budge the last of this remaining Hair Colour.

Your next step should be

It sounds like you still have some Colour Build Up that needs to be removed. You can Colour Remove again or if you have experience in Colouring, try a Bleach Bath.



Grr my Hair Colour hasn't shifted too much.

Argh! I have noticed some changes, but nothing too dramatic. It doesn't look like my Colour has budged very much, if at all!

Your next step should be

Your Colour Removing process has begun, but you have a lot of Colour Build Up from your previous Hair Colours that needs to be completely removed before you notice a difference in your Hair Colour. Long term Colourer’s and Darker Hair Colours will take longer to remove. Although it might be aggravating now, your Hair will thank you in the long run. Remember to apply plenty of Colour Remover so your Hair is completely covered and do not exceed 20 minutes processing time.
