Professional Bond Enforcing Color Remover - 5 Count

I’ve box dyed my hair jet black or blue black for 5 years. Bought this color remover and the Schwarzkopf Igora Royal Developer and I’m in love! Black box dye is extremely difficult to lift and this stuff worked amazing. I used 2 treatments in the same day because the first treatment lifted my color to a reddish brown and I needed it a bit lighter as I’m going a dark violet. The second treatment lifted my hair to a beautiful rusty copper red that I love but I’m still going violet. The best part is that this bonding treatment is actually GOOD for your hair and doesn’t damage it like Color Oops and other cheap store brands. Extra bonus is that it smells like flowers and not rotten eggs! My hair is extremely fine and thin so it damages very easily with chemicals but just look at the photos! I’ll never buy another brand. The price is good because there are 5 treatments in the box but you do still have to buy the developer separately. I’m intentionally keeping black roots

This stuff works so well! I wanted to go from bright pink to a soft pastel purple and this did the trick! It didn’t damage my hair like other brands I’ve used, no stretch to the strands and it left my hair looking white for a clean canvas for the new color. I did do a purple mask just to get some moisture and encourage more of a silver look.

Miracle!It managed to strip away permanent jet-black box dye I had been applying twice a month for the past 5 YEARS!!I did the process over 2 days.I used it with the Schwarzkopf Igora Royal Oil Developer (3% / 10 Volume).1st Day/1st Application:I used a full-head, soaking method—completely saturating my hair with the solution. This lifted most of the black dye and left my hair a vibrant orangey-red from jet black hair.I washed it off with purple shampoo to tone it (L'Oreal Paris Sulfate Free Brass Toning Purple Shampoo).2nd Day/2nd Application:I focused on the face-framing pieces and used the leftover mixture on remaining darker strands.The result was beautiful!Even after two back-to-back applications, my hair wasn’t damaged at all—though I do have thick, strong hair that handles processing well.Tip:Shampoo your hair the day before the application, SKIP any conditioner or styling products.This helps the mixture fully penetrate the hair for maximum effectiveness.

It worked pretty good, definitely leaves some color so don’t expect a perfect result. The photos I posted are before and afters. Blue -> Gray (added toner so not a great example) & Purple/Gray -> Peach/White. Im not a professional so take my review as some dingus just playing around.

I decided to dye my hair blue after years of dying it dark brown and brown/burgundy with various box mixes over the last 14 years. I have used color oops in the past to remove box color and had done a round of that with little change (if you decide to use it, don't get the extra conditioning one) before deciding to purchase a different type of color remover.Full disclosure, I ordered while I was tired and didn't see the word "lightener" on this before I got it. Because of that I applied all over my head like with Color Oops. When I noticed my roots lightening, and ending up very yellow when I removed the shower cap, I had a mini panic attack. But after washing my hair felt really good, so I made a quick trip to sally's for more developer and a back up toner in case the one I had purchased was not effective due to my hair not being light enough.I used 2 packets in the first attempt, and needed more as it came out somewhat patchy. I used the remaining 3 packets and a bit more developer than required to make sure it fully saturated my hair. It came out lighter and I didn't see damage. I toned it using the backup toner on just my roots and then blended down into the band where my old color was and it looked great! The next weekend, I finished the process with bleach, 2 hair masks (Bold Uniq - SERIOUSLY BUY IT!), and the original toner and then shortly after applied the blue dye to my hair.Bottom line, this product does a great job when you know its a lightener and use it according to the directions. My hair felt so much better using this than when I bleached it later in this process so I'd recommend it to anyone who is looking to remove color and lighten their hair at home without the terrible smell of Color Oops!(Photos: First is after the 1st round, second is the 2nd round after using the rest to even it all out, third is after toning, fourth is after bleaching, and fifth is the end result.)

I am honestly so confused at how this product has good reviews. It is expensive and you have to buy developer separately just for it to barely even do anything, it literally lightened my hair maybe half a shade and turned my natural roots orange… All I’m gonna say is I do not recommend this color remover. I was hoping this one would at least be somewhat good… it is gonna make me sad forever that Pravana discontinued theirs because that one was the best.
