This video could not have come at a better time. My daughter has permanent black box dye in her hair. It grew out about 4-5 inches and then she wanted blue all over. We used the mondo hair stuff to dye it gently (or so I was told). We were literally just told that baking soda and dish soap would work to then use manic panic on top and it will be vibrant. Still watching the video, but wanted to share the absolute hilarity of this video coming out before we try it.

Thank you!!! This info needs to be used more in college!!! I used a bleach bath one time and it dried out my hair so badly .. never again.. not a fan of it and would rather use bleach n 10!! Works much better for me when I’m bleaching my roots!! I just mix it up n apply the last few minutes to take out old toner ! You are the bomb Craig!! Adore you!!!

Hi, years ago was told to use head and shoulders to remove colour, when I think about it now and what I've learnt from you , it's absolutely ridiculous, but at that time, it's what we did . Another interesting video. Thank you 😊

I serendipitously discovered that Olaplex 4C (the clarifying one) does actually take off a surface level semipermanent dye. With regard to the Malibu C CPR instructions, you’re supposed to use their color disruptor, then CPR, then undo-goo (their shampoo) and that sequence supposedly takes out color. Just ordered today, so I will post the results if anyone is interested. Thanks for the bleach recommendation. I have used those other bleach baths successfully in the past, but my hair is already so light I don’t usually leave it more than 5-ish minutes. Next time I will try your 1:4 and see how it goes

I always use Color Oops first on my brown or red vivids first, then I use your measurements for bleach and developer to remove any stubborn color that may remain. It works great every time! Thank you for this video. It will help a lot of people save them from unnecessary steps, dryness and and damage to their hair. ❤

Hi Craig! I'm fairly new around here...love your channel!

I'm 46 years old, a fellow true autumn, and I love "playing with my hair."

(I do stick with the salon for haircuts though lol)

I'm american but just recently started dating a British guy.
Your channel is actually super helpful for me learning more of the lingo lol.

Question for you if you so don't mind...

My hair is bleached to an easy level 9, probably level 10 in some spots.

I used a toner and overdid a root tap recently and I really don't like it. =(

I did a couple of vitamin c treatments treatments and a bleach bath. The result is probably level 8 at the places where the root tap was (goldy/slightly orange/yellow)

And the rest is a pale yellow, level 9.

I was thinking of redoing with a level 9 toner and a level 8 root tap over the darker areas.

Question is...should I apply the level 9 toner all over, rinse, and then go back and touch up/root tap with the level 8?

That's what I was thinking of doing...please let me know your thoughts.

I let my partner dye my lovely grey hair and it now looks golden!! She loves it which I am pleased, as I only let her do it because I love her, but I want my grey back. I started last week using H&S and crushed vitamin C tablets. I see small changes but it's going to take a while
