Three days a go I dyed my medium, dark brown hair with a black semi-permanent dye (lasts 28 shampoos) and it turned way too black. I tried washing it out with a clarifying shampoo and the Prell method of removal (put it on my dry hair, threw cap over it and blow dried it on hot every now and then, washing it out in 45 minutes). I saw that the color was washing out in the shower, but hair looked exactly the same each time. I then tried mixing prell and dawn dishwashing liquid together, left on my wet hair for 5 minutes, saw that the color rinsed out but my raven hair looked exactly the same. Do you think the color will eventually fade with the prell method, am I doing something wrong (like should I be putting the prell on wet hair instead of dry) or move on to something stronger?
Your help is much appreciated!

Semi-permanent color is formulated to last through several shampoos, depending on the hair's porosity and thus on its ability to absorb moisture. There are many ways to help remove semi-permanent color. Hot oil treatments, Prell, clarifying shampoo or dandruff shampoo with the use of hot water can help fade the color quickly. If the color doesn't fade in a week or so, there are products in the beauty supply store that can remove hair color. Look for a hair color remover designed to remove semi-permanent hair color.

Hello, help ! My hair is light blonde ut I dyed it brown yesterday, it turned owt green and blu with brown bits in... what can I do ! Well what's prell ? :confused: o bi th way its semi permanent and it lasts for up to 15 washes

You should never use a brown hair color on blonde hair, it will leave a green cast in your hair. Semi-permanent color can lasts 1-4 weeks. If you shampoo frequently, the color should wash out in 6-12 shampoos. Prell is a shampoo known to strip artificial color. Try using a clarifying shampoo to help wash out the color, it's also great for removing green cast from the hair.

Or this:

BU special effects sfx cupcake pink hair dye

Please I need help... ty

Voldino, you need to lighten your hair to a very very very pale yellow to pure white tone in order to achieve the desired level of pink. If there is any hint of orange or dark yellow tones, the pink will be salmon like.

I suggest having a professional stylist do it since the results are supposed to be guaranteed.

I just washed my hair 3 times with fructose anTi dandruff and it faDed my dark brown extensions that were coloured yesterday from a light orange to deep drown and it's now my natural lighter ash.

Tide with bleach (the powdered kind) also helps to fade an unwanted demi-permanent hue... it's not unsafe for the hair since all the sulfates used to create a sudsing action in detergents, dish soaps and shampoos are basically the safe... once desired result is achieved, switch to sulfate-free shampoos
