Color Stripping Hair
Q: My hair has been dyed a lot. So much so that now my hair won’t dye. I've been told about color-stripping and I’m very
interested in it, but want to know what it is. Help, please!
A: Color stripping is simply a process to strip the color from the hair. Usually this is done in a salon environment with professional
assistance, or by using one of the varied permanent haircolor removal products found at beauty supply stores. Most of the reviews on
these products indicate that they work well, but are usually designed to remove unwanted haircolor prior to applying a new color.
The most common complaint about the products is that they often leave the hair a flat, beige color,
which usually must be re-colored in order to look even remotely natural.
I am concerned however, about your claim that your hair “won’t dye”, which indicates a significant
level of hair damage. Unless, that is, you mean that your hair has been dyed so much that it is so dark that it won’t show new color? Is
it possible that you are trying to use a deposit only color over hair that is darker than the desired color?
If the issue is that you cannot even change the color to a darker color, you may need to see a
salon professional to assess the problem and potential damage your hair has sustained. At the very least, I don’t advocate using a
haircolor remover if such is the case. In spite of claims, if an over-use of chemical processes has resulted in your hair losing the
ability to absorb and retain color, you could be risking complete destruction of the hair by continuing to perform chemical processes
on the hair.
