Black semi permanent

[Guest]

Is there any way to remove black semi permanent color. I heard that it will stay in your hair as if it's a permanent. So far, that's holding to be true. I have about 2 or 3 inches of my natural brown hair color and the rest is black. If I dye it, what would happen?

hi caramaela,

one time i had my black color lifted w/effasol. this process is very harsh so your hair needs to be in tip-top condition.

if you dye it now, the color will only take to the roots (b/c it's virgin hair) and not the black b/c it's actually stained hair.

i don't know what color you want to go with but stop coloring black for a few months and let the perms aide you w/the stripping process before actually using the effasol.

i did a pretty drastic change...i went from midnight blue black to rich red brown base w/copper/blonde highlights and my hair was still healthy. now i'm back blue-black. hth.

In my experience the colors fade over time just by shampooing with my moisturizing shampoos. Maybe you should try clarifying and see if that helps.

What was the brand you used. I am looking for a black semi permanent color for my hair.

I used Loving Care

 

[ladylibra_30]

not for me, i've been going black for years and several times a year. black is a stain that needs to be lifted.

rinses may fade w/shampooing and over time but not semi-permanent.

I think Loving Care is pretty gentle (no peroxide or ammonia). I wonder if you could get that out with Clairol Metallex (I don't think it's damaging to the hair). You should PM Tracy and ask her.

lately, i like and have been using clairol's textures and tones/radiance colorgloss. imo, it is one of the best out there on the market. it delivers intense color and is gentle.

i use the black, w/a cap of red (to offset green/blue hues),and a cap of clear (for extra shine). i can't say enough about this product. you can find it at sally's.

I have used this product in the past to lift semi-permanent colors that didn't come out as I had envisioned. You can purchase it at Sally's for $10. It's the bomb....

Description:
A semi-permanent haircolor remover that is gentle, quick, and easy-to-use, leaving hair clean and ready for color

Hmmm metalex nor the uncolor worked for me. So Ladylibra exactly how did youy use the effasol? I have been looking at the colorgloss for a while now. Do you use it straight from the bottle or do you mix it with anything (besides the other colors)? How is the shine factor?

 

[ladylibra_30]

my beautician used the effasol. she put it on and kept checking my strands until they were brown and not jet black. i can't remember the entire process but i would strongly encourage you to go and get the color removed by a professional.

when i use the radiance colorgloss i use the clairol professional radiance color infuser.

i get a sheen/shine effect!

Really?? As soon as I put Uncolor on my hair the rinse just started coming out

!
Did you use heat with it? Also, you really have to saturate your hair with the stuff!

Check out my pics cutie and you'll see...

If you dye it - you get uneven, patchy color. It COULD be fine - but most of the time, even if you get the black to lift, you get uneven results.

Have you tried a color remover like Metalex, or Clairol Uncolor for semi-perms? Those are a safer bet, and all you'll do is remove color without LIGHTENING the hair.

Sorry - everyone else has it covered...
Read then post, Tracy....read then post...

Denali, when you tried the uncolor, what semi perm color were you trying to remove?

 

[moneychaser]

Caramela,
I put this spiced cognac (jazzing) on top of my blonde color. It was cute for the first two days, but I didn't like it after awhile, and Uncolor handled its buisness in getting it out.

Thats interesting because my color washes out with a few shampoos.
