Q: Has anyone used this and not re-colored their hair for at least for a few months later? Wondering my hair will look in the months to follow use.

I have naturally red hair but had a fashion red permanent color in it. It took all the fake red out and left me with mostly my natural red hair but definitely more lighter/bleached

Q: Can you use a hi lift hair color after using color oops? (Same day)

You can, but you have to gauge the state of your hair. If you’re using this on healthy hair you will be fine. If your hair is already damaged, I’d wait a couple days and do a a coconut oil mask or an intense conditioner. It works by lifting the hair follicles and shrinking the color proteins so that they can be easily rinsed out. Also, this will NOT lighten natural hair and it won’t remove temporary or semi-permanent color, only permanent hair color. Finally, buy a big bottle of clarifying shampoo and after you process the color oops, wash your hair several times. Really wash it. Think of how many washes you think are excessive and then double it. I’m not kidding. Wash it ten times!!! If you don’t, over the next day or two the color proteins will re-expand and darken you’re hair again. It’s not going to turn your hair white and you might need to do more than one treatment, but it’s worth it. My hair went from 15yrs of black dye to beautiful blond. It’s still healthy and shiny because I took my time, read and followed the directions and was patient.

Q: Does this remove old hair dye or just new?

It removes both old and new hair color.

Q: I have very dark brown boxed permanent hair dye on my hair. Will this help me go lighter?

Yes it will but you must do a strand test to see what color you end up with..it’s more work, but worth it. Depends on your hair what color you end up with..Mine went blondish, which didn’t look too bad..I eventually went to salon though, as when I recolored on my own, got brassy and it wouldn’t correct. Salon bleached it, did platinum toner which looks good now.
