    How to remove Sun-In hair coloring?
    I was searching for this on Google and happened across this site. Hopefully I can get a good answer!

    My natural haircolor is a dark brown. I have been using Sun-In for the past few years to lighten my hair to a strawberry blonde. But the upkeep is getting irritating because I have long, thick hair, and I am thinking about going back to my natural hair color.

    Is it safe to dye my hair with normal haircoloring, or will that cause extensive damage to my hair as a hairstylist once warned me? Do I need to neutralize the color, or can I just dye over it?

    If neither of those options work, how do I get this stuff out my hair? I'm not going to grow it out since my hair is very long and dark and it would look quite awful.

    I've dyed my hair at home for a good year now and I've found that the only time that my hair actually gets any damage at all is when I highlight it myself, so going back to your natural dark color shouldn't damage your hair. However, what I would be worried about if I were you would be finding the right color to match your haircolor so that you don't have the whole experience with the roots not matching the tips again. If you have enough money, I'd advise you to go to your stylist and tell her what you want. Hope this helps.

    Thanks..

    Yeah, I understand about the color thing, I don't exactly remember what shade of brown my hair is, but after a couple tries, I'm sure that I'll get it.

    I thought it might be good to test a little chunk of hair in the dye before actually doing anything.. just to make sure it doesn't dissolve or anything bad like that.

    If your hair is dark, you shouldn't use Sun-in to make it blonde. It can make dark hair orange and brassy. You will need to do a double process to achieve a decent blonde color. Sun-in is a bleach that lightens the outer most pigment layer of your hair, and the results are permanent. Do a strand test by putting a strand of hair in plastic wrap or tin foil with the color you want to use. Leave it for 45 minutes. If it melts the strand of hair, don't color your hair. If it doesn't cause any damage, then it's okay to color your hair. But I recommend that you get it done professionally.
