Published in Hair Coloring 3 mins read

To use Undo hair color remover, you'll generally lather approximately 25ml of the included Buffer in your hair. Leave it in for 1 minute and then rinse with warm water for 5 minutes.

While the provided information is limited to the "Buffer" component, a comprehensive application typically involves these steps:

General Steps for Using a Hair Color Remover (Undo Example):

  1. Read the Instructions: Always start by carefully reading the instructions provided with your specific Undo hair color remover kit. Instructions can vary slightly from brand to brand or even product line to product line.

  2. Perform a Strand Test: Before applying the product to your entire head, test it on a small, hidden strand of hair. This will show you how the product works on your hair and help you avoid unwanted results.

  3. Protect Your Skin and Clothing: Wear gloves to protect your hands and an old towel or cape to protect your clothing. Applying a thin layer of petroleum jelly along your hairline and ears can also help prevent staining.

  4. Prepare the Product: Carefully mix the color remover according to the package directions. Make sure you're in a well-ventilated area.

  5. Apply the Color Remover: Apply the mixture evenly to your hair, focusing on the areas where you want to remove the color. Avoid getting the product on your scalp.

  6. Process: Let the color remover process for the time specified in the instructions. Do not exceed the recommended time.

  7. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water for the time indicated in the instructions (e.g., 5 minutes as mentioned with the Buffer). Ensure all traces of the color remover are removed.

  8. Apply the Buffer: As indicated in the original instructions, lather approximately 25ml of the "Buffer" into your hair. Leave in for 1 minute and then rinse with warm water for 5 minutes. The Buffer likely helps neutralize the color remover and prevent re-oxidation (re-darkening) of the hair.

  9. Condition Your Hair: Color removers can be drying, so follow up with a deep conditioner to restore moisture to your hair.

  10. Dry and Style: Allow your hair to air dry or use a low heat setting on your hairdryer. Style as usual.

Important Considerations:

  • Hair color removers generally work best on direct dyes or semi-permanent colors. They may not be as effective on permanent hair dyes, which are more deeply embedded in the hair shaft.

  • You may need to repeat the process to achieve your desired result, particularly with darker or more stubborn hair colors. Allow your hair time to recover between applications.

  • After using a color remover, your hair may be more porous and susceptible to damage. Be gentle with your hair and avoid harsh treatments.
