Color Reverse

This stuff smells like horse poo, but it works great! My hair came out too dark and had a weird tone with a 6NNG dye. I have short hair so only needed 3 tbsp each from the bottles. I applied it like dye then covered my hair in a cap and used a diffuser blow dryer for 20 minutes. Rinsed well and washed with a clarifying shampoo. It recommends rinsing with diluted 10 volume developer, but I only had 20 so skipped that step. My hair came out golden and lighter than my natural shade. I dyed it again after it dried, and it’s perfect with a 6 AA. And my hair feels amazing! Soft and smooth. 10/10.

This really works!!!! We all know that removing black hair dye is an impossible mission, and this product did it, and it DOESN'T DAMAGE THE HAIR. Honestly, from now on, using bleach won't be necessary because this does the job effectively and without damage... The smell is a little unpleasant, but it's tolerable... I highly recommend it.

prior to salerm i used the color oops which totally backfired, turning my roots orange [my dyed hair is a dark dark brown with auburn and violet tones and i've been dying my hair dark for over 10 years - dying/highlighting for over 20 years], despite following the directions to the letter. But this stuff, fixed the orange and stripped the dark [almost black but not quite] from the bottom up and fixed the orange somehow. I will have to use a second time after a week or so as stripping your hair is a process, especially of dark colors or red/violets, and it takes many rinses - each time i rinse more comes out slowly but surely. You must be patient especially if you've been coloring for a decade or more and nothing will restore you to your original color if youre using permanent dye and semi-permanent dye - you need to grow your hair out to get to your original color. My goal was to lighten so I could go to a lighter shade, which I refuse to bleach my hair as its not worth the damage, NOT restore it to my orignal shade as that is impossible due to the way the oxidation process of dye on hair follicles. This is what I did besides following the directions; 1. Mix eq. parts as directed & apply quickly (it's a gel so its much easier and you get a lot out of it but if you have very thick long hair it would be safer to go with two boxes) - it does stink but nowhere near as badly as color oops which lingered in my hair which was gross - if you rinse and shampoo as I did there's no lingering scent 2. Apply a cap (doesn't come with) but also it helps to throw a towel in the dryer to heat up and then wrap over the cap. heat activates it and makes it work better. 3. Leave in for 20 minutes (some people say they've left it on longer but I have healthy hair and i try to protect it so i didn't want to chance it - I may leave it in longer next time, however). 4. Rinse hair first in shower thoroughly and apply shampoo (no conditioner - not yet) than rinse for 20minutes the first time. IMPORTANT - use a crappy shampoo - the stuff that costs $5 with parabans (etc. the crappy stuff) - Apply shampoo (the crappy stuff again) again & rinse for 5 minutes. - Shampoo one more time (yes, still the crappy one), rinse for 5 minutes apply conditioner (I used a nexus keratin conditioner mixed with a deep conditioner treatment) and rinse for 5 minutes (last time!). It's boring and a process but it pays off! Your hair will thank you if you use a nice conditioning treatment (I used a garnier papaya treatment mixed with my nexus keratin conditioner). I'd also say keep using the crappy shampoo as it helps strip that color! DONT BOTHER WITH COLOR OOPS - it's cheap and terrible! This stuff doesn't hurt your scalp either and the smell doesn't linger the way i re-shampoo-ed and rinsed repeatedly (which helps the stripping process as well). RINSE RINSE RINSE!

I used this product after years of trying to cover my grays with a nice auburn brown. I decided to go Ash Blonde, I know I need to bleach my hair but wanted to make sure I didn't get that uneven dark ends situation I had the last time. I used Salerm Color reverse and I have to say that my hair color did not change much, which makes sense since I'm a natural brunette and its been a year sincee i dyed my hair. After much research I found I have to wait between 48-72 hours to bleach my hair. I also bought a product called "Unred" to add to the bleach to remove any brassiness. I may need to come back and give an update after I bleach my hair. As far as this product goes, aside from the sulfur smell; the product is fantastic. It does exactly what it says it does! Very happy with it!

Well, it did remove the black Demi dye from my hair but it certainly didn’t restore my hair back to its natural color. My hair is naturally a medium reddish brown and it turned it veryyyy copper. Super light at the base but darker at the ends (mostly out of the light) after two rounds. It definitely was stinky, like sulfur. And my hair still smelled of it after 5 washes with shampoo and a deep conditioning mask. In fact it still smells like it now, 5 days later, after multiple more washes. On the plus side, my hair looks very shiny and doesn’t feel overly processed. I it’s kind of a nice shade for summer too. I mixed equal parts in a bowl. Put on some rubber gloves and worked through sections of my hair, totally saturating it all. I think I would have preferred to start at the bottom up to midway and let that develop a little and finish up the the roots the last 15 mins. I piled my hair atop my head and wrapped foil around it all. I left it for 35 mins to be sure, but the original 25 mins would probably have sufficed. The last 3-5 mins I blow dried the outside of the foil for extra measure. Then I rinsed in the shower, used a clarifying shampoo 5 times because I could still smell that stinky eggy smell in my hair. I was over it at that point and applied a deep conditioning mask for 5 mins. Rinsed with very hot water, then a cold blast. I was anxious to see what the heck I just did, so I applied my usual products and styled. It’s kinda growing on me…

Very gentle on hair but removes all or most of the artificial hair colour pigments.

Ma mère voulait éclaircir sa couleur et le faisait au fur et à mesure. Elle s'est retrouvée avec des différences affreuses comme sur la première photo. La 2e photo c'est après le démaquillant pour cheveux. La 3e photo après recoloration. Le produit est très doux pour les cheveux et pas agressif malgré l'efficacité.

I've never left an Amazon review before. I just HAVE to share my experience with this color reverse system. I have long, naturally light brown hair. Over the last 6 months I used demi permanent dye 3 times. I got the dye from Sally Beauty. The first two times I used dark blonde, and the last time I used light brown. My hair at this point was almost black. It literally drained the color from my face and eyes. I didn't want to bleach out what's left of my hair as I've lost about 50% of it from weight loss. So I decided to try this stuff. I am beyond thrilled with he outcome. I have my natural hair color back! Yes, it smelled kind of yukky but nothing that a fan in the bathroom couldn't handle. I only used half of each bottle, being careful to measure 1:1. I covered it with a shower cap and waited 20 minutes. Then I rinsed and rinsed and rinsed with warm water in my kitchen sink. The total rinsing took 30 minutes. I went for so long because rinsing is how the dye molecules get released from the hair. I had minimal hair loss from this process and no breakage. My hair is definitely a little more porous after, but that's just from the developer used with the original dye. I intend to put a VERY light toner on my hair in the next few days just to smooth the cuticle out again. I would DEFINITELY recommend this stuff for any girlies who want to get back to their natural color! I can't speak to how it handles really colorful dyes, permanent dyes, or hair that's b en dyed for a very long time. But since it's so gentle and affordable, it's worth a try!

Perfecto

Worked fine
