Briefly about the product

Color off from Estelle has established itself as a good remover designed to remove persistent dyes from hair. The product completely replaces bleaching agents and even copes with blue-black color. The product is reliable and safe, with minimal damage to your hair you will get rid of unnecessary shade. After the procedure, you can safely dye your curls a different color.

The product does not change the natural color of the hair, it is gentle on the hair because it does not contain ammonia. If you've had a bad experiment with your hair, then this wash is just for you.

The advantage of Estel's Color off acid remover is that the substance destroys the bonds between the dye molecules from each hair, then washes them away from the strands. This is a huge plus against lightening, because after manipulation the hair remains intact and unharmed.

Why did the results exceed expectations?

Hair color may be unexpected for many reasons. The first and most common is that the dye is too cheap.

In addition, if you have just recently done keratin hair straightening or perm, then you should not be surprised by the results obtained. Another reason for failure in dyeing can be applying dye to oily and dirty hair. The fact that dye applies best to unwashed hair is a big misconception and myth. Despite the fact that washing your hair at home can correct the failure and can be gentle, it is still stressful for the hair, which will definitely leave its mark. Therefore, before you dye your hair yourself, think, maybe it’s better to contact a specialist?

Salon products

Washing your hair at home can be done using professional products and does not require the help of a specialist.

Such preparations can be purchased at any salon cosmetics store. In order for the hair remover to be successful, the instructions state that the product can only be used two weeks after dyeing. This procedure is called “decapage” or “decapage”. Washing your hair at home with salon preparations will be effective if you apply a high-quality mousse with the highest pH level to dry hair before the procedure. It will “cement” the hairline, and as a result, your curls will suffer much less. After liberally applying the mousse, dry your hair with a hair dryer. After a few hours, you can start washing your hair. Distribute the product over the entire length of your hair and rub it in for 3-5 minutes. Check to see if you need to repeat the process by taking a thin section of hair and brushing it with liquid developer. Are there traces of paint left on your hands? This means you need to carry out a secondary wash.

Bleaching cosmetics have an aggressive effect on hair, so they are very harmful. It is best to use professional products that do not harm your hair. They are sold in all stores and are easy to use at home.

Such paint removers do not perform brightening functions compared to bleaching cosmetics. They remove color pigment. The molecules of the substance eliminate the dye.

Precautionary measures

Before the procedure, you should study some recommendations that will make washing off hair dye absolutely safe:

Do not apply to damaged, irritated scalp. It is forbidden to use Estelle wash if any dermatological diseases are present;
the place where you will wash should be well ventilated, because the product has a specific pungent aroma. It can make you feel dizzy;
the procedure is carried out with gloves, the body is covered with a special cape so that the skin is not damaged and the clothes remain wearable;
Avoid getting the emulsion in your eyes. If such an incident occurs, immediately rinse your eyes with plenty of running water and consult a doctor;
keep the substance out of the reach of children, protected from sunlight;
Use only to remove stubborn (oxidative) dyes. If you are not completely sure what paint you were dyed with, then do a small test on a small strand. It is advisable to choose a place on the back of the head, so that in the event of an unsuccessful outcome, this strand does not spoil the whole picture.

Also get a deep cleansing shampoo. Don’t try to wash out henna or Palette paints, you definitely won’t succeed. And a very important point - take time intervals (20 minutes) between procedures.

Washing hair at home

You can prepare the mixture for washing your hair yourself. Our previous generations did it well, given that they did not have access to the chemistry that is now used in cosmetics and hair dyes. Natural dyes and absorbents are completely safe for the scalp and hair structure.

Substances such as soda, kefir, honey, beer, vegetable oils, cognac, etc. can even improve the appearance of hair and strengthen it from the inside.

Removing hair dye with kefir, honey or herbs can be an excellent substitute for professional products. If you use folk remedies correctly, the effect can be simply amazing.

As an example, here is a recipe for a hair wash that is guaranteed to remove dye in one go and make your hair color one tone lighter. This is a gentle wash as it does not contain harmful chemicals.

Vegetable oil (olive/castor/almond) Beer/kefir/cognac	Take any of the listed oils and add one of the products listed in the second paragraph. Mix and apply to dry hair. Keep it on your head for about two hours and rinse thoroughly. It is advisable to do this with the addition of chamomile tincture or lemon juice. Kefir mixture for washing is considered one of the most effective.

Instructions for use

Using Estelle's Color off emulsion is very simple, just follow the instructions below:

Rinse off the dye only on dirty hair. Mix all ingredients in a non-metallic container. You also can’t mix the components by eye; put them on a scale to be sure of the volume of the product.
To begin, mix the required amount in equal proportions of the substances from bottle No. 1 and No. 2. Using a special brush, mix the product thoroughly. Apply to your hair immediately; the more time passes after mixing, the more the substances lose their effect.
It is recommended to apply first to the back of the head, avoid contact with the scalp. It will be better to carry out coloring if the roots are already a little branched.
Put a plastic cap on your hair and wait 20 minutes.
Then we will proceed to the second stage. To begin with, wash your hair well under hot water until the strands stop slipping from the emulsion. This is where you need a deep cleansing shampoo.
Dry your hair with a towel, but do not dry it. Carry out a test: apply the substance from bottle No. 3 to a separate strand. Hold for five minutes. If after time the strand has not darkened, then apply the entire contents to your hair. In another case, repeat the washing procedure up to five times.
Then leave product number three on your hair for 5 minutes, wash your curls thoroughly (3-4 times).
