How to restore the natural color after dyeing?
What if the new color did not suit you or just tired? How to return the natural hair color after dyeing? There are several ways to do this, we will focus on each of them in more detail.
The easiest and harmless way
The most obvious, simple, but quite a cardinal way to restore the natural color of hair is haircut. There are only two options:
- Scrape hair gradually and little by little. But remember that the more often you do this, the faster your curls will grow, and the faster you will return to your natural color. But remember that some time you have to wait. And if you want to keep the length, then you have to wait for a long time. In addition, the growing roots may not look very nice.
- Change drastically and cut off all of your dyed hair, returning to its natural color. But this method is not suitable for everyone, it will be appropriate in several cases. You can do this, firstly, if you don’t feel sorry for your curls, secondly, if you already have a short haircut, thirdly, if you have hairstyles with short strands.
Coloring or discoloration
Return the old hair color can be using staining. But everything will depend on what kind of shade there is to be, and what tone you want to come. There are several options:
- If you are a blonde by nature and want to get rid of dark hair, then immediately get ready for the difficulties. If you dyed your hair for quite a long time, the pigment of coloring compositions managed to penetrate into their structure and accumulate inside, which means it will not be easy to remove it. Paints with clarifier will not solve the problem, but can only aggravate it. Blond hairs are naturally thin and fragile, and if, after dyeing, to affect them with a decolorizing compound, you can literally lose some of your curls. But still it is worth trying discoloration, but not at home! The best option is to contact an experienced and professional hairdresser, who will appreciate the condition and color of your strands, select a sparing composition without ammonia and do everything in the best possible way. But after such “executions,” the state of the curls will in any case worsen, so go to the store of professional cosmetics for quality care products or use traditional recipes. Actual will be caring oil or honey masks.
- Another way - to return to the natural tone gradually. If you need to go from dark to dark hair, you can tint the roots. At the same time, it is not necessary to touch the colored part of the hair so that the pigment is washed out and not accumulated. And paint the root part, but always choose the color to match the tone or better two brighter than the one in which your curls are painted. Gradually, you go out to the natural hair color.
- If you bleached hair, but again want to become a brunette, then everything is much easier. Wait for the roots to grow a little, and then dye the rest of your hair in color close to your natural one. But remember that this procedure will have to be repeated several times, because all paints tend to run off. In addition, it will be better if the color is chosen by a professional.
- To become a blonde again, but not to cause significant harm to your hair, you can try to highlight. This procedure will help make the transition less noticeable.
- If you need to become a brunette, then try coloring. As in the previous case, the transition will become less noticeable.
If you want to get rid of dark hair and go back to a lighter one, then try making a paint remover. Using an emulsion for removal of permanent paints from hair, you will be able to restore a former color. This procedure on the principle of action resembles discoloration, but the product does not contain aggressive substances. The components included in the composition, neutralize the pigment inks.
To achieve results and not to spoil the hair, choose high-quality products. It is better to follow them to a specialized store of professional cosmetics. If you decide to carry out the procedure at home, then first carefully read the instructions, and then proceed.
The essence of washing is reduced to the fact that the tool is applied to your curls and left on them for a certain time, during which the components must penetrate into the hair structure and neutralize the pigment.
Then the composition needs to be washed off. As a rule, the procedure should be repeated 2-3 times, this will fix the result. Remember that the color of the roots will be different from the color of the rest of the hair. In addition, if you decide to dye your hair after washing, then choose a shade of two to four shades lighter than the one you want to get.
It is best to wash in the cabin. First, the specialist will select the appropriate tool, and secondly, he will evenly apply it, and third, level the color.
Hair washing
The more often you wash your hair, the faster the paint will wash off. Many people advise to use hot water, but it is impossible to do this all the time, since high temperatures will have a negative effect on hair and destroy them.
To speed up the process, you can use soap, but remember that it can make your curls dry.
In addition, there are professional shampoos for gradually washing off the paint. Get one of them.
Folk methods
You can try out folk remedies. Here are some recipes:
- Use orange or lemon juice. Acid helps to neutralize the pigment and lighten the hair a little. Apply the composition to the curls and leave for 20-30 minutes, then rinse. You can repeat this procedure no more than 5 times a day. It is impossible to change the color drastically in such a way, but it is quite possible to lighten the strands slightly.
- Instead of lemon juice, you can use kefir, it also contains acid. Apply it to the entire length of the curls, wrap the head with cling film, and then wrap up with a towel. Wash away the mass and evaluate the result. The next day, the procedure can be repeated.
- To make bleached hair darker, you can use a strong brew. Rinse her head regularly without rinsing off the product.
- The broth of onion peel will help, but it may have a not very pleasant smell. 100 grams of husk pour a liter of water. Boil the mixture for half an hour, cool, strain and use for rinsing.
Do not overdo it and have patience. And by all means take care of the health of your hair!
Traditional ways
Back to the natural color will help traditional techniques. For girls with different initial shade of hair and paint color means will be different. It is easiest to restore the curls, which were initially light, and became a few tones darker. However, for other options there are effective ways - we will get to know them in more detail.
Decaping
How to fix the unfortunate effects of hair dye, if the color is darker than natural? It's all pretty simple, you need to use special washes. In a professional language, the process is called decapitating, it consists in removing color pigment from the structure of the curls. The failed shade is replaced by the natural acids that make up the emulsions. They do not act as aggressively on curls as lightening or discoloration, but still harm them.
Correction of tone takes a lot of time, especially hard to get rid of the blue-black. In some cases, the procedure has to be repeated 4-5 times with an interval of 2-3 weeks, during which time the hair will be restored.
What you need to know about the wash:
- For the procedure it is best to contact the salon, only a professional master can correctly calculate the composition of the emulsion and the time it is kept on curls.
- The return of natural color occurs gradually, be prepared for the fact that a few weeks will have to be like with a not very beautiful and even shade.
- The wash is applied in a small amount on the regrown roots and is kept less than on the colored length, if you do not take into account this moment, the roots can lose their natural pigment and create the illusion of a bald head.
After decapitation, the hair should be dyed in the color as close as possible to the natural one. To even the tone, it is best to use for this gentle compositions without hydrogen peroxide and ammonia.

This is the safest and most effective way by which you can restore your old color. If you have patience, just shear 6-7 cm length each month. Removing split ends, we give the opportunity to distribute the beneficial substances along the living length of the curls, from which they begin to grow faster.
It is desirable that the master used hot scissors for the procedure - they solder the hairs and prevent their delamination.
Girls who can not wait until all the colored strands are cut, you can drastically change the hairstyle. Not every fashionista dares to make a short haircut, and this option is not suitable for everyone.
Frequent washing
Correction of unsuccessful effects of painting is possible with frequent shampoos. Best of all, ordinary water is washed off the tint balsam, but permanent dyes are more firmly embedded in the structure of the curls. It is especially difficult to remove the pigment, if you painted more than once, because ammonia paints have accumulative properties.
The color will gradually disappear if you use shampoo for deep cleansing and make the water hotter than ever. Under the influence of high temperature, the process is much faster.
However, keep in mind that daily bath procedures have a negative effect on curls, so use regular regenerating masks and nourishing balms so that the locks do not get a lot of stress.
Bleaching
Quite an aggressive procedure, as for its implementation are used chemical compounds with a high content of hydrogen peroxide. Most often it is used by blondes who have repainted in a dark color. However, they naturally have very thin and weak hair, and the reagents aggravate the situation even more.
If dyeing in dark tones was not carried out once, discoloration is strictly prohibited, it will not give the desired effect and damage the structure of the curls. After a one-time experiment with the image, you can use this method, but only in the cabin.
A professional will select the most suitable composition for you and apply it, strictly observing the technology. It is very important to preserve the health of the hair.
After bleaching hair will suffer in any case - the procedure for anyone does not pass without a trace. Smoothing the negative effects will help nourishing and moisturizing masks, special means to protect the curls from the bad influence of the external environment, cosmetic oils. Do not be lazy to use them!
Radical staining
This method is suitable for girls whose hair color is not much different from natural. For example, you were dark blond, and decided to paint in a chestnut. Return to a natural shade is possible with partial dyeing. The composition should be applied exclusively on regrown roots, the length will be gradually washed out, and the transition will become blurred and imperceptible to others. After several procedures, the need to cover the root zone will disappear.
Note that the paint should be brighter by 2 tones than the overall color of the hair. This technique gives gradual results, so you should be patient.
Return dark color
The option is suitable for girls who by nature have dark curls, but they are painted in blond.The main condition for its use is not a heavily damaged head of hair, since staining will need to be repeated quite often. It will take about one month to walk with the regrown roots, then go to the salon and ask the master to color the bright part of the strands in a shade that is as close as possible to the natural.
Take into account that the tone will be washed off pretty quickly from blond hair, therefore it is necessary to refresh it approximately twice a month. Gradually, the lightened part will grow, and you will not need to use dyes at all.
Highlighting
If the full lightening option is not suitable for you, note the highlights. You will have to do it about once in 1 month in order to pass to a natural blond without being noticed and smoothly and say goodbye to a dark shade. This is a sparing technique, as the chemical components act only on individual strands, and not the entire head of hair.
In addition, modern technologies of partial dyeing involve the use of gentle compounds that do not spoil the strands. When all the dark hair grow back, completely disappear need to go to the salon.
Homemade recipes
Traditional medicine also offers recipes that will help you to restore your hair color at home after unsuccessful dyeing.
All methods are based on the use of products containing acids. It is these components that displace pigments from curls and make the hair lighter.
They consist of citrus (citric and galacturonic acid), kefir (lactic acid), onion peel (ascorbic acid), pharmacy chamomile (salicylic, ascorbic and nicotinic acid) and honey (a huge amount of organic and inorganic acids).
Consider how to prepare a natural and safe washing of simple products.
Citrus Therapy
A mixture of citrus is suitable for removing pigment on the naturally light hair, brown-haired women and brunettes, this recipe is not suitable.
We mix in a non-metallic dish 120 ml of lemon fresh juice, 80 ml of orange, 100 ml of grapefruit and 70 ml of pomelo. Mix, pour into a bottle with a spray, put on curls, leave for 40 minutes and wash off. You can use the composition up to three times a day, the course lasts about three weeks.

Onion decoction
The mask contains two clarifying products - fresh lemon and onions. They complement and enhance the action of each other, in addition, citrus neutralizes unpleasant pungent smell.

Apply to hair and hold for 45 minutes (you can do it while you are taking a bath), then rinse with water. The frequency of clarification - no more than five times a week.
Herbal mask
The multicomponent composition will help not only to remove the pigment from the hair, but also to restore their damaged structures. It has a positive effect on the scalp and follicles, moisturizes, nourishes with nutrients and relieves irritation.
To begin, we need to brew 35 g of dried chamomile flowers and calendula and 50 g of sage. Insist herbs for 5 hours, then filter through gauze. Add 35 ml of liquid honey, 120 g of fat sour cream, 50 ml of corn oil and 20 ml of glycerin, mix the composition. Apply to hair and hold for 4 hours under a plastic cap and towel, then rinse with water with a sulfate-free shampoo.
The mask has a liquid consistency and flows down to the neck and décolleté area, because these parts of the body must be protected with an old towel.
Unsuccessful experiments with staining occur in almost every woman, but do not panic. Modern salon services and folk recipes will help to return the natural color with minimal losses for curls.
Note that all procedures involving several stages should be accompanied by enhanced nutrition and hydration of the hair. Approach shade changes as responsibly as possible, and you can remove the pigment, while maintaining beautiful and healthy hair.
How to get your hair color back
Why return to natural color is not so easy? The fact is that to get the same level of depth of tone, which was before, and, therefore, exactly the same shade is a whole art. A “pharmacy” accuracy is required from the barber when he calculates the ratio of ingredients to re-dye his hair and return the original color. And in those cases when a brunette wants to become a blonde again, we need such a procedure as a wash. It is carried out with the help of an aggressive solution - it should rid the hair of artificial pigment. Without this step, it is impossible to paint in a lighter shade. There is an indisputable rule: paint does not lighten paint.
And do not think that returning your color is a one-time procedure. When you come to the salon to get your natural shade, the result of the first “attempt” - the first coloring - will depend on many factors. Do you have porous hair? What products will you then take care of your hair? Will you walk the pool? Will you "test" the hair of the southern sun? And that's not it. It is quite possible that only the repeated staining will help you to finally return your “color” to you, when the roots after the first grow. In its course, it will be better to “edit” the final shade.
How to return your natural hair color: from blonde to brunette
To get a beautiful color on the way from the blonde to the brunette, it is important for the hairdresser to calculate what pigment is missing in the hair for a full blackout: yellow, orange or red. It will be necessary if you can’t (or don’t want) to wait and wish to return your home shade as soon as possible.
But there is a more gentle option for hair - ombr. This coloring was originally conceived in order to give hair a rest from constant lightening. Ombre is an ideal solution that allows you to make a smooth transition from bright ends to dark roots completely without the risk of damaging the hair structure. As a result, for us this is a great opportunity to feel like blondes, being brunettes, and also to return your hair color beautifully.
How to return the old hair color: from brunette to blonde
Getting out of a dark color in a very bright one day is the risk of damaging your hair to the degree of brittleness. Especially if the hair has been dyed with a dark dye many times. Then, at the ends of the hair, the pigment can accumulate so much that it is not possible to lighten the hair to the desired degree. The “softest” option is to ask first for medium or light blond. And next time - your true blond. It is better for healthy hair. And it will be emotionally easier for the client to survive the change.
How to care for hair when “your” color is returned?
These hairs should be treated as bleached and chemically damaged, and it doesn’t matter what color you actually get. Intensive moisturizing will allow hair to restore plasticity. Products for colored hair will help preserve the new shade. Repairing procedures will favorably affect the internal structure and speed up the process of “postoperative” hair rehabilitation. The combination of these three basic types of hair care will bring the state of hair closer to the original one and will help you regain your hair color at home.
General recommendations for the return of hair color
Nature rewards every person with a genetically predetermined hair color. Natural hair color is a combination of two types of melanin (a natural coloring pigment that is produced by the body) in the hair structure.
Eumelanin causes brown and black shades of hair, and pheomelanin causes yellow. The combination of two types of melanin generates one of six possible natural shades of hair.
Natural hair colors:
Brunette, almost black hair color. Shades of color from brown to bluish black.
Brown-haired Shades from dark blond to chestnut. The most saturated, iridescent color.
Redhead Hair orange and fiery shades.
Blonde Color at the intersection of brown-haired and blond. Shades from light blonde to dark blonde. Natural light brown color cannot be recreated by staining. This is the natural hair color of Eastern European nations, it is often found and is considered "gray" or "normal." But the fashion for this unique natural color is back.
Blond, blond hair. This hair is white, gray, yellow.
Gray-haired. Hair color, in which there is no coloring pigment. Shades from yellowish white to silver.
Hair was dyed at all times with the help of natural dyes, and with the invention of the method of changing hair color with chemicals, it became fashionable to do it. It is possible to paint a head of hair in any color of a rainbow, and it is difficult to grow hair after that.
To dye hair run in several cases:
want to change the image
want to look brighter and more attractive
natural color ceases to like
follow fashion
wish to hide gray hair or other lack of appearance.
Return to natural color when:
artificial hair color ceases to please
come to the realization that the natural color is the most suitable and beautiful,
It is necessary to improve the hair, as regular coloring is harmful to health,
regular hair dyeing becomes a problem and costly task,
For medical reasons, you can not continue to use hair dye.
Some women, wanting to grow natural hair, are guided by the knowledge that most men like natural, natural beauty.
Haircut is the safest way to restore natural hair color.
For rapid hair growth it is useful to trim them. There will be no harm from the haircut.
When they retain their length, they cut off the ends of the hair, which tend to accumulate more chemical pigment pigment than the main part of the hair. The tips of the hair often break and break, especially in blondes and fair-haired girls. Cutting them, accelerate hair growth due to the redistribution of nutrients in the hair structure. They go in vain to lifeless tips.
The disadvantage of this method is that it will take a long time to grow hair. Depending on the length and type of hair you need to grow at least three to four months. If the curls are long and grow slowly, you will have to wait a year or more.
The visual problem is growing roots. If the natural color is slightly different from the artificial one, and the color transition from the roots to the tips is smooth, the hairstyle looks like a fashionable ombre. If the roots are radically different from the painted part, it looks ugly.
An alternative to gradual hair cutting is a short haircut. This option is suitable only for those girls who are not sorry to cut the length and those who already have a short haircut.
Besides haircuts, it helps to grow hair:
Frequent washing of the head with hot water. Hot water opens the haircut hair scales of each hair, and the dye pigment is washed out.
Professional, washing off the pigment of artificial dye lotions and shampoos for hair.
The use of home masks for the growth and improvement of hair.
The use of natural rinses containing acid.
For oily and normal hair is suitable method of using soap as a detergent. After washing your hair with soap, a balm is applied to your hair. It removes the alkaline smell of soap and moisturizes the hair. The method does not suit owners of dry hair.
With the question of how to quickly grow hair and return the natural color, it is better to consult a specialist. In the beauty salon in addition to haircuts, will offer several more solutions to the problem.
How to grow hair brunettes and blondes
If a natural brunette comes to a beauty salon with a question about how to grow your color, the master recommends that you dye your hair again, but in a color close to natural, make coloring or ombre.
If you dye your hair in as close as possible to the natural color, the growing roots will be almost invisible. Those girls who use this method can quickly grow their hair after dyeing, especially if they periodically cut it. The difficulty of this method is that it is difficult to choose a color close to natural. Chemical pigments will not replace natural melanin.
In the case of coloring and ombra, the difference between growing roots and colored length is hidden by transitions between shades and colors.
Coloring is a technique of dyeing hair with small or large strands in different colors (one or more). Ombre is a type of hair coloring, in which a smooth transition from one color to another is carried out, gradient coloring.
Brunettes are suitable methods of re-dyeing hair in a color close to natural, coloring and ombre.
It is more difficult for a natural blonde woman to grow blond curls if they are painted with dark paint. The same applies to light brown hair. Blond hair is inherently more fragile, brittle and weak. If you paint them with durable dark paint, it is hard to return the natural color. In such difficult cases, beauty salons carry out a cosmetic procedure called a chemical remover. Unlike hair dyeing, washing is absolutely not recommended for home use alone.
The emulsion, which washes away the paint and is applied to the strands, neutralizes the pigment of the chemical dye and discolors the hair. After the emulsion is kept for a while on the head, it is washed off with water. One procedure is not enough, repeat up to three times. After washing the hair painted over in a tone close to the natural light brown or gold.
Unlike the bleaching procedure, a chemical remover does not involve the use of aggressive substances. Bleaching aggressive emulsion can greatly harm the already weakened hair chemistry, but in some cases, experienced hairdressers use this procedure.
A less radical, but no less harmful way to return to the natural light color is to dye hair roots. The method requires endurance, patience and ability to choose the right color of paint. Dyeing the roots every time in an increasingly lighter tone, and without dyeing the rest of the hair, come to a natural color. The artificial color will sooner or later be washed off from the hair, and the roots by this point will be painted in a color identical to natural. This complex method is combined with a periodic haircut.
Another way to return to the natural color for blondes - highlighting. Highlighting hair is a method of coloring, which consists in lightening individual strands. This is a more gentle variant of coloring, in which the transition from light roots to dark hair is less noticeable.
Blondes are suitable methods: bleaching hair, chemical remover, dyeing roots, highlighting.
For the rapid growth of hair during and after the procedures of natural color return, use moisturizing balms, make nourishing masks and carry out other procedures restoring the structure of the hair. It is recommended to limit the use of hair dryers, electrical devices for curling or straightening hair, it is better not to use aggressive cosmetics.
Home remedies for natural color restoration
How to quickly grow hair if none of the methods are suitable? You can try homemade natural masks and hair conditioners.
In order to remove the artificial dye using products containing acid:
lemon, orange (citric, galacturonic acid),
kefir (lactic acid),
onion peel (ascorbic acid),
pharmacy chamomile (salicylic, nicotinic, ascorbic acid),
honey (a large amount of organic and inorganic acids).
The acid neutralizes the artificial pigment and makes the hair lighter in tone.
Natural lemon and orange juice is squeezed out of fruit and applied to the hair. Hold for half an hour and wash off with water. Immediately lighten the hair in this way will not work. The more often you apply the juice (but not more than five times a day), the sooner the hair will become lighter.
Kefir is distributed along the length of the hair, but, unlike a fruit mask, it is aged under a bag and a towel for three hours. You must repeat the procedure four times. Kefir is an excellent remedy for unruly, often confused and badly combed hair, and also useful for the scalp, helps get rid of dryness and dandruff.
Chamomile rinse is easy to manufacture. They take three tablespoons of chamomile flowers, pour in two glasses of water, boil for fifteen minutes, cool, filter and rinse their hair.
They make a rinse of onion peel: one hundred grams of peel is poured with a liter of water, boiled for half an hour, cooled and filtered. The disadvantage of this brightening rinse is the smell of onions on the hair, which is not always eliminated after applying the balm.
Honey mask is liquid natural honey applied to wet hair. It is recommended to make this mask for the night, washed off in the morning with water and shampoo. You will need to repeat the procedure about six times.
To make bleached hair darker, they are regularly rinsed with strong brewing of black tea, without subsequent rinsing with running water.
In striving for natural hair color, be careful and remember that beautiful hair is healthy hair.
