I Need To Remove Black Hair Dye From My Hair? Help!!?
I want to straighten my hair- also called relaxing or a reverse perm. Unfortunately my hair is dyed. I haven’t dyed my hair for a year or so now, but it won’t grow out quickly enough. You see they can’t put the chemicals in your hair for straightening when you have dye or bleach in it because it causes a chemical reaction that begins smoking. How do I remove my dark hair dye, without bleach?

Use green shampoo, any brand. My hair stylist told me about this over a year ago, when I bleached my hair & the blue dye I put in turned greenish. Something in the chemical in the green dye eats away at the fake hair color, but won’t change your natural color. It really worked, too!

Honestly, I hate to say this, but there is no other option.
If anything, I would go to your hair stylist & see what they can do.

Shampoo your hair with this mixture, “kneading” the hair. Start at the roots & work your way down to the end, & then back up.
You should see the color disappear right before your eyes.
Black hair dye is a special case.
It’s very hard to remove black hair dye from your hair completely, especially if it’s permanent. Better to let it grow out & not bleach it. Bleaching with chemicals damages the hair it may make it so stretchy & thin that it comes out in your comb.
Likewise if black hair dye stains skin or fabric. The best way is to prevent it from staining in the first place by applying Vaseline around the hairline before dyeing.
If black hair dye stains fabric then using detergent & water quickly is a good idea – otherwise dry cleaning may be required.
Black hair dye stains can also be removed by rubbing cigarette ash over the stained skin, dipping milk in cotton balls & rubbing over the stained area, rubbing on WD-40 or even nail polish remover or hair spray.

The only other way to do it would be to strip your hair of that color.. Even that won’t remove all of the color, & it is terrible on your hair. If you have brittle hair, it will fall out. I would wait until your hair grows out.

Go to a professional stylist & ask them. They may tell you you have to wait for your hair to grow out.

You can’t do it ; it has to grow out. You can forgo the hair straightening & go to a pofessional who can get rid of the black. Don’t try it yourself your hair will just break off.
