There are a lot of you who have the problem of your hair getting too dark . . . or worse yet, is dyed black and you want to remove the hair color.

After reading your comments and questions regarding hair color removal, I clearly see that you folks want more on this issue. There I spoke with representatives from the following beauty suppliers and here is what they had to contribute on the subject.
- Sally Beauty Supply — sallybeauty.com They are a local beauty supply store that sells to the public as well as beauty professionals. I’m sure you have a similar strore in your area.
- Salon Care - Color Corrector for $9.99
- L’Oreal - Color Zap for $12.99 Sounds like disaster waiting to happen to me
- Clarifying Mixture Granules for $2.99
All of these will require bleaching out the old hair color evenly and to an exceptable level of hair color shade lightness. That will require you to have that eye to know when to wash the bleach out of the hair. Then tinting the hair back to a hair color shade that you desire. The Sally Beauty Supply representative felt they would be able to talk you through the procedure of how do to this on the phone, but sounds like disaster waiting to happen to me.
- L’Oreal — lorealparisusa.com
- L.H.C. Removal Kit - sells at major retailers, such as : Walmart, Target etc.
They have many restrictions as to what hair types should not use this product. You should not use this product if you have permed hair, relaxed hair or highlighted hair, which should tell you something about the company having the need of being protective about liability issues. I wouldn’t be surprised if the other kits mentioned above have similar hair type warnings. (Another hint that you should leave these procedures to a professional hair stylist).
Compare prices on hair color kits at Amazon, eBay or my favorite, Folica. Enter “hair color” in the search box.
