Color Oops Extra Strength Hair Color Remover - 4 fl oz

A: Hi there!!! So this particular product is for lifting color not removing it. For example: my hair is blue right now, if I use this- it will bring my deep blue to a light blue because that is the base of my hair color right now. Just like the red goes orange- because it's the base color for your red hair. As far as when to use it again, I use it same day if needed.

A: Color Oops can be used twice in a day but we suggest to wait an additional day. When coloring hair, a mixture of artificial hair color and hydrogen peroxide (oxide/developer) are used to deposit color into the hair. At the same time it is depositing color, the hydrogen peroxide (oxide/developer) can lighten the natural pigment your hair. Therefore, even though you may be coloring darker, your natural pigment may be altered. When color Oops is applied and the artificial color is removed, what is left of your natural color will be exposed. If your natural color was altered, you will see a brassy, red or warm color. In this case, you can re-color to your desired color.

A: If hair is long and thick we suggest using 2 kits to make sure the hair is evenly saturated.

A: No, you should not process Color Oops longer than 20 minutes.

A: Yes, you can use Color Oops Hair Color Remover to strip away black dye. It works by shrinking the artificial dye molecules so you can wash them out, and it does not contain harsh bleach or ammonia. However, it does not actually "lighten" your hair color; it only removes the artificial black dye. Your hair will likely turn orange or red. Black box dyes are heavily concentrated. After stripping the black, your hair will reveal the underlying brassy pigments.

A: Yes, Color Oops can help with color banding by removing artificial pigment from hair, especially from permanent dye, helping to even out tones. It works best on dark, overlapping, or muddy bands. However, it may not work on all hair types, and you may need multiple applications to fully remove the unwanted color.

A: Yes, Color Oops is an effective, non-bleach product for removing artificial red hair dye, especially permanent or box dye.

A: Yes, you will likely need a color remover. Because color cannot lift previously dyed black hair to a lighter brown, a color remover (or bleach) is necessary to strip the artificial black pigment first. Using a color remover is recommended over bleach initially as it is less damaging and gently breaks down the dye molecules.

A: Using Color Oops Extra Strength on copper/red-dyed dark brown hair will likely result in a light orange, brassy blonde, or light copper-brown color. It removes artificial,, oxidized pigment, bringing your hair back to the lighter, warm-toned shade it was before the color was deposited, rather than your natural dark brown.

A: Yes, Color Oops Extra Strength can remove Redken Shades EQ Gloss in Moroccan Sand. While Redken Shades EQ is a demi-permanent color, it is an oxidative dye (mixed with a developer), which is exactly what Color Oops is designed to target by shrinking the dye molecules so they can be washed away.

A: Yes, Color Oops is an effective, non-bleach product for removing artificial red hair dye, especially permanent or box dye.
