Color Oops Extra Conditioning Hair Color Remover, 1 Application

This stuff is like magic. Smelly magic. I have light coppery brown hair. Roots are mousy brown, but it naturally sun bleaches to a brassy blond as it grows out. I've been coloring it with lush henna and loved it for years. Then I was having someone laser off freckles and they accidentally singed my hairline along my forehead. Just the first few strands, so it didn't seem like a big deal until they grew back black. Of course, henna won't color black since it doesn't lighten hair. My base color is quite light, so the contrast was very noticeable. I tried to grow out the henna while wearing constant headbands. Then I went to a salon that does a lot of color. My goal was to lighten the strange black hairs and transition towards salon color (vs henna, since henna cant cover black). The stylist bleached a strand test and it turned light copper. So they did a Malibu treatment to lift the henna ab much as possible, followed by a bleach bath). But of course when they bleached my entire head, the lengths turned orange while the roots went blond. I suggested going with orange and tinting it to rose gold or peach, but the colorist insisted on "neutralizing the warm tones." I said okay, as long as it didn't go dark...and left with espresso brown hair steaked with blue-black and dark cherry. I hated it. It clashed with itself and my very fair complexion. It looked like a middle schooler on a goth phase who tried to dye her hair black using natural plant dye that she'd made herself. And the stylist had toned it no less than 3 times, so presumably there was a lot of dye in my hair. While this toning kept happening, i was panicking about "Won't it get too dark?" But couldn't see anything with my head in the sink. The salon wouldn't fit me in for a correction for a couple of weeks. I tried several rounds of clarifying shampoo, but the black wouldn't budge. I seriously considered shaving my head and buying a wig. Then I tried color oops. Sure, it smells like rotten egg. But it really isn't that bad with proper ventilation. Standing under a hot shower for 20 minutes feels like eternity and a huge waste of water. It left my hair dryer than straw. But it got the black and brown disaster off. I can leave the house without a hat on. And I immediately did a deep conditioning mask. My hair feels fine. (I also did olaplex before/after the bleaching.) It probably helps that aside from the henna (which is good for hair, albeit more permanent than the average marriage), my hair hadn't previously been through mistreatment. I don't heat style at all. TBH, the color now isn't ideal. The first few inches (less exposed to henna, if at all) are blond, but unevenly shaded. The lengths are light auburn (past my shoulder blades). I suspect that it's a mix of henna that won't budge and salon dye. I might redo the ends with color oops to remove more of the salon dye. But I am also open to a bob--if I cut off the lengths, and has a colorist tweak the blond, I could have a blond bob. So much better than the black hair monstrosity they had done at the salon. Nothing against black hair, by the way. I actually love it. On people who don't have my complexion and who don't have a weird, streaky black with strands of blue, brown, and merlot.

I have been dying my hair with black box dye once a month for three years now. I put three pictures of how my hair started what it looked like after the first treatment and what it looks like now after the second treatment. I have done two color oops treatments and I can say this stuff really does work. I have very thick and long hair so I had to use three boxes each time. You want to make sure you completely saturate your hair. Also the second round an applied foil to the end and then wrapped everything with a disposable shower cap. The box comes with a cap but I wanted to make sure heat stayed in better. I also added more heat with a blow dryer during the process. Yes you have to make sure you wash your hair with warm/hot water and shampoo and rinse at least four-five times for about 20mins. I also blew dry my hair afterwards to apply more heat. Be prepared for your hair to get dry be prepared for your hair to get extra tangled and knotted. I put leave in conditioning spray and oil in after both times to help. I say overall if you are not wanting to damage your hair with bleach try the color oops yes it will be a process but if you’re wanting to keep your hair healthy it’s a better choice.

Colorfix was my go to color remover for years but I decided to give this a go and I'm glad I did because it works just as well if not better without the rotten egg smell that Colorfix would leave in your hair that literally lasted at least two shampoos. Colorfix also will redarken when coloring hair again, making it very difficult to know how your hair is going to turn out without a strand test. A reminder, this will not restore your hair to it's natural color as color lifts... you will get a lighter brassy color once this removes it that you will either have to massively tone or color over. This stuff has instructions that you need to rinse for like 20 minutes, but I went kinda crazy and took Dawn (yes the dish soap) to my hair 2x and then regular shampoo to help remove the color. This stuff worked. I had a horrible red situation going on with a color that was supposed to be a deep red but turned out more clown 🤡 red. It removed it all without damaging my hair. Update: so the weirdest thing is the last 2x I used this, the rotten egg smell is present and it is POTENT. Like my hair stunk still after several shampoos. And when i decided to try colorfix again (have a black box dye situation I'm working out lol) it didn't smell much and the scent left my hair almost immediately. Also colorfix has worked waaaaay better for black dye. I made the mistake of recoloring the next day when using this and not just sitting in front of the mirror and watching the development, my hair turned nearly black again bc the old color remaining oxidizes so fast and then the new color grabs so fast. The best thing I've found for black dye is colorfix and then NOT recoloring for several weeks, even if things are super brassy.

Im giving this 5 stars because it has always worked for me except this time so I thought id warn you all! The photos are before and after using Color Oops on processed(bleached), hair with Arctic Fox Transynvania. It started fading into green and purple which was kind of cool, but really not what I was looking for. Using Dawn dish soap a couple of times did help left it out but ultimately, I knew I would turn to color oops though I did have a suspicion my hair would turn more green because the last time I dyed my hair purple I tried using bleach to get it out and it turned my hair green. 🙃 Color Oops doesnt have ammonia or bleach but I just kind of knew it would struggle to lift this color out. I rinsed my hair for more than 20 minutes, with and without shampoo until the water ran clear. After 10 minutes the rinsing water was still blue so absolutely rinse your hair for 20+ minutes. I will say though... I have lifted permanent black dye from my hair multiple times with Color Oops. It never goes back to the blonde you had before if thats your goal, but it will lift the color out. Arctic Foxs Transylvania however is the first dye I could not get out of my hair. It did lighten it a bit but for the most part my hair is still very green and purple. This stuff does smell like rotten eggs so prepare for that and it lingers on your hair for at least a day.

ive used color oops multiple times and have never had a bad experience. ive stripped blue , purple , green , red , etc out of my hair without issues for years. i had used this to strip orange out of my hair and it left it pretty blonde , almost as if i had bleached it. the orange was already fading and i just wanted to get whatevers left over out. the box advises you that it will NOT get ALL of the dye out , and if it doesnt you can do another round of it. it wont turn it super platinum blonde , it can turn out brassy sometimes and thats okay !! the smell is definitely there , but its not too bad. its not too strong but its not unnoticeable either. overall 10/10 in my book :)

My usual color correction product was unavailable so I tried this one. Pros: very easy to mix and apply. Cons: the rinsing piece is overly arduous, results are kind of brassy in places, only 1-use per purchase. This didn't hurt my hair and it did lighten it, but I've gotten better results with an at-home product that also left my hair feeling more conditioned and was simpler to rinse. I frequently dye my hair with permanent color (medium to dark brown with reddish tones) because of stubborn grays around my crown and temples. My hair is fine and the color can get too deposited around the front sections that frame my face--several times a year I apply a color corrector to remove the dye deposits only in those sections. It's more economical for me to purchase a product that I can mix and use in the needed quantity, from which I can get several applications. (My hair is long and I would've needed to buy two of this product to do my whole head.) I assume my hair came out more orangey closer to my roots because that's where the gray is, but with that very visible result up top, I would've expected more lightening at the ends. It sort of looks like highlights so it's fine. Overall it's an acceptable result and maybe better for whole head correction than spot correction.

I used to use this when I was young and tried lots of different hair colors. It worked, but it left my hair fried and orange. I'm not sure if they have a new formula but it worked great. I used a temporary hair color that didn't want to wash out. Remembering this product I decided to give it a try. It worked better than it did before. I followed the directions and used a clarifying shampoo to remove residue. Didn't dry out my hair. I did lose a big chunk of it which was not good but it is a harsh process so it makes sense. The smell isn't that bad but it did linger for a few days. Got my blonde hair color back. No complaints. I will definitely be using this again if I need it. Used 2 boxes for my long hair. --- EDIT: after a month, my hair still smells like the chemical used in this product. My hair is also a touch brassy now. Seems to be falling out more. However, this doesn't change my rating. It removed my color, I was aware there were risks. My hair looks healthy and I have my natural curls back. I'm sure it will recover once I stop processing it and coloring it.

Update: Okay, so I ended up having to do a lot of work to get my hair more like my natural color. After stripping the hair using this product I attempted to use a toner. As you can see in the photos it did lighten it. But it's still ended up looking really red later. I could have probably left it alone and got used to it but it was driving me crazy. So I went and picked up a box bleach (cuz I just didn't feel like dealing with powder since I don't have a second mirror behind me in my bathroom now) and then I used a different toner in a different shade (opted for a blue instead of purple toner). The last picture was the end result. And I think I got pretty close to my natural. Enough that my hair can grow out and blend better. Original Review: Unfortunately, I guess if you go red, it considers it a "lightener" and this stuff doesn't really work (because it says in the instructions that it won't work if you go lighter. It'll only work if you go darker when you color your hair). I will say that it DID lighten my hair, almost as if it bleached it slightly, but leaving that brassy yellow-orange. Ugh. I don't know if a toner can help but I guess I have no choice but to try. Yes, this IS drying. However, my hair was already pretty damaged since I used a boxed hair dye before that was on the cheaper side, and it did a number on my hair. So I can't blame this product for that. It actually did not dry out my hair as much as I thought it would. I didn't experience any shedding while applying\rinsing over what I normally experience - but that doesn't mean I won't have break off later. If the break off is really bad I will try to remember to update this post. If I use a toner and it helps I will try to remember to update this post. I will include all kinds of before and after pictures. Please keep in mind that the camera on my phone is awful and it's always adjusting the color\hues... However you can see there is a difference. Just not the result I was hoping for. Nonetheless, with it pulling out a lot of the actual red and just going lighter it might make it blend better as my natural grey grows out. So I don't think it was a total waste. Just not the results I was hoping for. One thing that I have going against me is that I was born a natural redhead. And so even when my hair was greying I still had copper highlights (you could really see them in natural lighting)... I think this hair color-stripper just brought those copper highlights out in their natural form LOL... which is kind of funny. I do notice that in a lot of the after pictures you can see streaks of white. So it definitely took the color out where I was naturally white already.

I recently tried the Color Oops Regular Strength Hair Color Remover (RS100), and I'm thrilled to share my experience with you. My hair journey involved layers upon layers of red hair dye, and I decided it was time for a change. I chose Color Oops to help me with this transformation, and it didn't disappoint. First off, the application process was surprisingly easy. The instructions were clear, and the product was straightforward to use. I appreciated that there was no need for complicated mixing or multiple steps. Now, let's talk about the smell. Hair color removers can be notorious for their strong, unpleasant odors, but Color Oops was tolerable. While it didn't smell like a bouquet of roses (let's be realistic, it's a chemical process), it was much more bearable than I expected. But what truly matters is the result, right? Color Oops worked wonders on my layered red hair. It effectively removed the built-up color, leaving my hair ready for a fresh start. The end result was satisfying and gave me the blank canvas I needed for my next hair color adventure. In conclusion, Color Oops RS100 is a reliable choice if you're looking to remove hair color, even if you've piled on the layers. The application is straightforward, the smell is manageable, and the results are impressive. Give it a try if you're ready for a hair color transformation!
