Yes. I've used it very recently to lift black permanent dye.
I personally use it about once a year to colour change lighter for summer.
Pro's are that it doesn't damage my hair like colouring does. Although the long rinsing leaves it dry.
It removes colour very dramatically. One application may take it all out. Although I need three for black build up.
Cons are it smells dreadful. Although I don't find this lingers like some say. Probably because I rinse for about half an hour!
If your hair was dyed with a much darker permanent it will most likely have lightened your hair underneath, meaning it won't be your natural colour but a brassy or ginger colour.
It may re darken requiring multiple applications, or leave hair patchy if hair dyes used previously have been different brands or strengths or applied unevenly.
I would also go for the new Scott Cornwall, Decolour Remover if you are in the UK. You can get it from boots online or in some stores. It is faster more effective and requires less rinsing.
HTH rather than confuses you!
