I let my hair rest, then a few days later I tried it a second time, and when my hair dried, I began to see hints of my natural hair color. The first time I tried this method, I noticed a very subtle difference, but not much. The shampoo/vitamin C mix took out A LOT of hair dye, more than with my usual moisturizing shampoo. Right: after using the Vitamin C methodĪlthough the pictures above were taken in slightly different light, you can see the movement of the blue/purple dye further down my hair after using the vitamin C method. Left: after washing only with clarifying shampoo. A clarifying or dandruff shampoo – something not too gentle, cheap is ok.One or two 1,000 mg vitamin C tablets, crushed.I came across the vitamin C method, which is supposed to lift demi-permanent hair color 1-2 shades.

So I immediately googled how to safely remove hair dye without using bleach. Whenever I color my hair at home, I know it’s a roll of the dice. Depending on the light, much of my hair was nearly black, the tips were dark blue, and my roots, where I had purposely not applied dye, were my natural medium brown. I used N’Rage Purple Plum demi-permanent hair dye, chosen because the helpful lady at Sally Beauty Supply told me she’d seen this color on a brunette with a similar hair tone as mine, and it looked “nice in the sun.” Don’t get me wrong, I did not expect to look like this (which is still pretty), but since my hair is a medium shade of brown with some natural highlights, I expected just a little more, well… purple.
