If you dyed your hair a darker color with a demi-permanent (claims to wash out in 28 shampoos) dye, make a thick paste of crushed Vitamin C tablets and water. Apply the paste to your damp hair and rest an hour before washing out. This will remove most of the color if applied within a few days of the dying. You will not need to re-color your hair, the paste is non-damaging.
Sometimes, no matter what you do, the dye will not fade or go away. Buy some hair color remover from a salon or drugstore. Loreal's "Hair Color Remover" and "Color Zap" seem to be the most popular, but they are very different! Color Zap will make your hair the color that it is naturally, where Hair Color Remover will gently make your hair colorless, or bleach blonde. Carefully read the instructions and do exactly what it says. Redyeing your hair a lighter shade (ex. dyeing it dark brown if it has been dyed black previously) will not help! Dye on dye is not going to make your hair lighter! More dye will just darken the color!
Sometimes when hair color remover is not enough, you may have to bleach your hair, or see a professional colorist so that they can bleach your hair for you.1. Purchase some Original Formula Prell or another anti-dandruff shampoo such as Head & Shoulders.2. Buy some baking soda. Baking powder does not work.3. Mix them together and wash your hair several times, if necessary. If you can't buy baking soda, you can just try plain dandruff shampoo.
Use a washing powder or clothing detergent. I dyed my hair black and after about 5 washes (leaving it on for about ten minuets) with detergent (bleaching AGENT only, not actual hydrogen peroxide etc, for example surf) it is sort of a dirty blonde, which is fairly close to my natural colour. Beware; your roots will lighten quicker than your ends, so maybe have a good haircut too!
