Review (5/5): WOW it worked without damage!!
Ok so I am a natural blond that has dyed my hair red/purple/magenta over the past 4 years. I recently did a box color of magenta on my hair, and it just turned all my hair dark. I could not see the color! I researched online and came upon this. I was really hesitant because I had JUST FINISHED DYING it--doesn't too much processing break hair? But the reviews convinced me.
I ordered it, and the first night I mixed up just a bit--enough to barely coat my hair just in case it messed me up. I washed it off after 20 minutes and WOW--it lightened my hair to a light strawberry blond!!! I was impressed!! The instructions say to repeat if I wanted more fading. The next night I dumped a bunch in my cup and applied it to my hair. I mean my hair was dripping. And there was STILL some left in the bottles!!!! I waited 20 minutes and washed it out. It might have gotten a little more even (since I didn't put as much on the first night), but it didn't get totally blond.
Keep in mind all of the reds/purples I had tried were permanent dye, so they were inside the hair, not just on the outside. For this to lighten as much as it did was a shock (and I am very happy). I am now a very light strawberry blond, and my hair was NOT wrecked. It was absolutely fine! I plan to try adding semi permanent blue to it and see if I can make a purple over the leftover red.
Yeah this stunk like rotten eggs. But I'll deal with the smell for 20 minutes for these results!!!
