How to remove hair dye naturally

If you are in the mood for a new hair dye, here's how to remove the color from your hair safely.

Baking soda and dandruff shampoo

Use a mixture of baking soda and anti-dandruff shampoo in removing hair dye. Baking soda is a good ingredient in removing stains and effectively cleanse hair. The anti-dandruff shampoo contains selenium sulfide that is known to make hair color fade.

Try using the 1:1 ratio of mixing baking soda and anti-dandruff shampoo. Continue to use the process and you will find as the hair dye fades away.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C has many benefits, and it contains acid that oxidizes the color of your dyed hair. Use vitamin C tablets and crush them into hot water. Turn the powder into a thick paste. Apply the mixture to your hair evenly and cover it with a hair cap. Leave the mixture for about an hour to your hair. Better use lukewarm water when washing your hair after.

Do the method repeatedly until you see results in a few days.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Vinegar has many wonders that help hair become stronger and healthier. It's natural, easy to use, and cheap. Not only does vinegar remove the color of your hair, but it helps smoothen the strands as well. 

Mix vinegar and water then drench to your hair. Use a shower cap and leave it for 15 - 20 minutes before washing. The method may not get the hair color right away. Continue to do the process until the hair dye lightens.

Coconut hot oil

Coconut oil has natural ingredients that can help make your hair stronger while also removing hair color. Use coconut oil: warm it up warm before applying to your hair.

Get a good amount of oil and put it in a microwave to warm it. Distribute the oil to your hair and wrap your hair with a cap. Be sure to cover your hair from roots to tips to get a good result. Leave it to stay for 30 minutes or overnight. Wash your hair with shampoo and lukewarm water. It may gradually take the hair color but the best part is it makes your hair moisturized.

Dishwashing soap

Try to use a dish soap or detergent bar to remove your hair dye. Use it just like you would use an ordinary shampoo. Watch your eyes when you use dishwashing soap to avoid eye irritation.

Dish soap contains a strong anti-grease ingredient, so limit its use on your hair. It is also ideal to use coconut oil after using dishwashing soap. Coconut oil helps to protect your hair from dryness. The method may not get you fast results immediately.
