Temporary hair colour can be a fun way to try something new with your looks. It is also helpful for finding out if a colour is right for you without making a permanent commitment right away. Unfortunately, temporary hair colour has a horrible way of getting on everything – your pillow case, your clothes, even your furniture. Your shocking blue hair has faded, leaving you with blueberry muffin head. What do you do to make the nightmare end?

WAYS TO PERMANENTLY REMOVE TEMPORARY HAIR COLOUR

1. Wash It Away

A lot of products promise temporary hair colour for 6-12 washes. Usually, it’s less. With some reds they last longer especially if you have lighter hair to begin with. Pick a strong shampoo, for instance a chlorine stripper designed to remove chlorine from swimmer’s hair or a dandruff shampoo. Wash your hair several times until the colour is removed! We’re talking a wrinkly wet commitment here. You’ll have to wash your hair and let it dry about 10-15 times. After you are finished, and not before, condition your hair with a leave-in conditioner. All the washing will leave your hair dry and fly-away otherwise!

2. Swim for the Win

If you have a pool or hot-tub, you are set. Hair dye will fade quickly in chlorinated water. Swim for hours. Hang on the side of the pool or hot tub with your hair in the water. Afterwards, wash your hair a few times and condition it thoroughly.

3. Turn to the Professionals.

If all else fails, go to a professional hair dresser and have them dye your hair back to your normal colour with professional dyes. This way you won’t have to re-touch roots when your normal hair starts to grow back in. Your hair stylist may also have a dye remover on hand to remove the colour for you instead of dying your hair.
