    Default Think I'm going blonde...

    I'm currently in the process of applying Colour B4 to my hair (from Boots). It's a colour remover, I believe the UK's equivalent to ColourOops.

    So far it's the same colour when wet as it was when dry, so something must be happening. There's 7 years worth of box dyes to eat through, so I'm guessing underneath I'll be strawberry blonde from all the peroxide my hair will have been exposed to, my natural colour is dark blonde.

    Of course, remnants of henna (not that my attempts ever left any colour) and remnants of pink can't be removed, just chemical box dyes. Hoping to get rid of the dark chocolate semi that's still lingering. Plus all the reds/blacks/purples/browns of previous years.

    Though I got a slight tingly sensation at the back of my neck when I was applying stuff. Turned round to have a look in case I was having a reaction and to my horror my neck was bright pink/red! Then I realised that was just the colour of my towel wrapped round my neck, and the itching was from the label. Doh!

    Not only might this stuff turn my hair blonde again, I think it's turning me into a "dumb blonde" oh dear! Hehe.

    This is beyond experimentation; you're crossing into full scale research. I'm sure all the color-change fans will want to know the details, so document-document-document. (and bushel baskets of good luck!)

    Wow, I guess this will take several attempts of bleach to get rid of all that red. Try not to do them all at once and moisturize in between treatments.
    I tried to go blond once (6 years) and went for 3 rounds of bleach in one day. Disaster.
    Good luck to you!!

    When I saw the title I was going to welcome you to the dark side, but then I saw it was YOU and I'm sad for the loss of your awesome awesome color .
