Using That Terrible Hair Color Remover To Get The Pink Out Of My Hair.. *Fail*

LittleFox 221: “Color remover” works by bringing the underlying pigment of the hair up. But when you bleach your hair, you remove all of the pigment. When you put on hair dye (especially pure pigment which is what most “fashion” colors are) it fills the hair follicle with a new pigment. Your hair soaks it up and hangs on to it. Especially colors in the red family. Red has the largest color molecule. So!! When you use a color remover on hair that has been bleached and dyed with a pure pigment, the color doesn’t go away. Often times the color will get brighter. Or if there was a color before that color, the other color will come up. Unfortunately your hair is stained. And all you can really do is wait for it to fade enough to add a color close to the color family. (Like red or purple) and slowly transition to what you want.

Regina: Hey Lindy! Just a little heads-up: You used the first verse of the "Deutschlandlied" in your play-in. Even if it is not forbidden, this verse is only sung by the extreme right-wing in Germany and is no longer part of the national anthem. Great video anyway, love your content!

JasperCatProductions: Your hair has finally decided to fight back…….it won’t release the hot pink.

Annoar97: this is just pure entertainment, when you are german.

Alley Hope: Try a direct dye remover, do not use normal color Remover. There's a difference between removing color that has developer used and ones that just are direct pigments. Using the ones aren't for direct dye can cause what happened to your red. I use the ones from pulp riot blank canvas, joico color eraser the most. Just be warned it will work fast and don't get it on your blonde or brown regrowth bc it will basically lift it to a lovely orange like putting a developer on would lift. Work fast, don't leave it on too long. Sometimes tho using color remover in general is worse damage wise than a good professional brand bleach. But you can get that pink out in seconds with an actual direct dye color remover.

kyeoptawerk93: for anyone saying "use a color remover specifically for direct dyes", those are all ammonia based and basically just bleach. you mix with developers and it lifts your natural color as well. you have to be careful recommending that to anyone who is already bleaching their hair regularly because using too many "color removers" like blank canvas, color eraser, etc with further break down your hair and make it mushy, melt or break off much easier (speaking from personal experience here)

TheDorkina: Not me being shocked that Lindy accidentally put in the banned part of the german national anthem

Comfy Midnight: I change my hair color all the time, I also do my friends hair. A word of advice, bleach wash does wonders. 1 part bleach 1 part developer and 1 part shampoo, put on damp hair and scrub it, wash out after 5-10m and it takes color out super fast! Even blues and reds. Yes, of course it will cause minimal damage, but you're diluting the bleach with water and shampoo :) Hope this helps!

Plastic Replica: Hellooo Hairdresser here : usually these rotten eggs smelly heat activated removers don't act very well on pigment deposit ( manic panic types) it's more for toners colors with developers etc they are more affective for these colors. I'd go with the good old vitamin c dandruff shampoo ( slow process ) or bleach bath method (but it's more damaging )

intravenous: The only colour remover I've tried that actually did anything was the L'Oreal Colorista one, but it might be discontinued? (can't find it in my country but may still be in the US or online or something) I managed to completely remove a months-old green stain from super bleached hair and it doesn't even smell that bad. 10/10 would recommend if you can find it.

Whitney Kimpinski: I always laugh at the edited photos at the end but the last two have had me full on belly laughing you are truly and artist.

Isy mag Muffins: aww lindy color b4 is actually for permanent colour and you should use efassor instead (for semipermanet colours)

An2x: Tried it before and had green hair afterwards lmao but it’s always entertaining to watch you try stuff out with your hair :)

Sunshine M.: We've been growing out our buzz cuts for almost the same time, and I too hate what I get every morning. Right now it varies between Karen, guest on Full House, very mullety, and when it's smoothed I'm a good little school boy.... I'm an adult woman.

Jerry Cooper: Dear Lindy! I guess I know what happened. This type of color remover is based on acids in its composition and is suitable for dye that is used with an oxidizing emulsion, i.e. a permanent dye. This color remover penetrates the hair structure and breaks the bonds between color molecules, the last component neutralizes the effect of the remover and prevents the molecules from gathering back. Color conditioners, also known as semi-permanent dyes, are based on direct pigments that are deposited mostly on the surface of the hair. This is why this type of color remover did not help remove pigment from the hair. If the pigment is not stuck in the hair and it is possible to lighten it, then a special remover for seven-permanent dyes (which has an alkaline composition) is more suitable. A bleaching powder mixed with 1.5% or 3% oxygen at a 1/3 ratio can also work. But before you apply the bleach, test it on one small section of hair at the back of your head. Control the lightening process visually - as soon as the pigment is gone, you should wash off the bleach from the hair. If within 15 minutes you do not see the result and the color does not fade, wash it off. This means either the pigment is stuck in the hair, or this type of remover does not work with this pigment. This is all I can do to keep your hair healthy.

Annette's Makeup Corner: I swear by the joico color eraser... it gets all the color out for me every time I use it. You do have to mix it with developer tho, but its really not that damaging (for me anyway, its just a bit drying). I cant believe this didnt do anything for you You literally woulda been better off just buying a cheap shampoo at the store and washing ur hair with it

Gena cat: If lindy posts. Everything stops and I watch

Lisa Smith: You have to heat it up so it opens the cuticle, then the color can fall out easier, then when rinsing use cold water to close the cuticle again, it works really well x love ya bubba ♥

Angie NG: I used this stuff once years ago, when i dyed my hair "autumn red" with box dye and turned out like stop-sign red. It actually worked a bit too well, so i ended up with yellow hair and also smelled like rotten eggs for a week.Very charming times.

Jessie Lallier: Joico Color Eraser worked really well for me on my pink hair. Ebay sells it, Walmart sells it, not sure if they ship to you. Love your hair adventures! <3

Molly Love: I used that same hair remover a couple of years ago and everytime my hair got wet it smelled like that nasty product. I only got rid of the smell by bleaching it, which went horribly of course, but at least that smell was gone :'D

Jasmin B.: Omg! I tried the exact same think like 4 days ago. I used that exact same remover and had pink hair, and it was just like yours… no effect besides the smell. Then I did 1 bleach wash and toned it, and know i have a beautiful level 10 vanilla-blonde

Ulith Mai: You can buy a colour remover from the same brand that’s in a grey/silver box, that one should work a little better but it would be worth doing a vitamin c treatment to try and get as much of the pigment out first. The hair colour remover I recommended will likely turn your hair purple then blue but it’ll be easier to get that out over time than putting bleach on your hair again. Hope this helps

Sarah Shihna: Hi Lindy. It was a fun Video! :) Unfortunately the colorB4 hair color remover does only work on oxidative dyes (=all dyes for which you need to mix developer in). The colorB4 contains reducing agent that reverses the oxidation of the dye and usually smells like rotten eggs. I think your pink color was a direct dye so there was no oxidation reaction during the dyeing process. Therefore, the product you used was not suited for your dye. I personally am afraid that only repeated use of clarifying shampoo or mild bleach baths manage to remove stubborn direct dyes.

Jaz Nought: I washed my hair 10 times and the smell still lasted for around 2 weeks. Hesitant to use it again because of smelling like a sewer. Need to time it in a way that I'm not leaving home at all, lol.

MacK: I used a colour remover to take red out of my hair, I just put it over my brown hair so it was just a tinge and it ended up making my hair a darker brown red. I was so mad! It made my hair feel awful too

bri: My poor Lindy. I'm addicted to all her beauty mishaps. When I'm growing out a cut, I'll get a beachy wave perm. Looks natural and grows out nice with trimming ends for upkeep.

cup cake: I've been doing vitamin c powder every day for a month and it removed about 10 layers of black hair dye gradually. I used it after the colour remover failed me. It's taking some time but it works magic and doesn't stink and doesn't frizz up your hair like the colourb4 does

ian or something: I used this to remove pink once…needless to say, it did more damage than removal of colour.

Rage Rach: I’ve used this product a few times before and it usually works well

MarvelousSandstone: I really enjoyed that little German speaking as a German. Also yeah I can read Dutch and understand what is going on too even though I never learned to do it. Similar enough to get what's going on for sure. We sometimes get some Dutch products here too, once had to repair an electronic device I got in at my job with completely Dutch instructions and I actually managed ot follow them just fine. Definitely more complicated than color remover.

Heideh Ho: I've heard this product doesn't work well on deposit only dyes (arctic fox, manic panic, etc) it works best on dyes that are permanent or semi permanent

______________: Video in which nothing happens but Lindy being entertaining

Angelina Wickam: Use vitamin c, 20v developer, and dandruff shampoo. AKA Aislinn has several videos. It will help!

Emily McMillan: You should try using Malibu DDL!! It works wonders and is the only thing I’ve found that ACTUALLY removes or lightens vibrant colors like this with as minimal damage possible. I used it on the exact same shade of pink once and it left me with a very pale pink on some ends/blonde shade. You can mix it with a cream developer or even water and it works, that’s how u know it’s not bleach powder. It also doesn’t smell like rotten eggs at all lmao!

Daedis: I tried the Vitality's 3 step kit to get rid of my red and it worked well! I also had enough for a 2nd application since my hair is super short

Jessman5: yeah you bought the wrong one. theres one for "normal" colours and one for "fashion" colours. you need the the grey package tho. I used this a lot and it always did a decent job (without bleaching the hair)

Maddie Bodendorf: Lindy, we love you, but you really need to try the vitamin c method on your hair more often It's a lot more work and takes longer, but the results are always great, it doesn't smell absolutely horrible, and it won't destroy your hair!

rili84: for as far as i know. these type of hair color removers work mainly on permanent colors. when teh product is in your hair and still wet. it should remove teh color. but the molecules are still in your hair. you then wash the molucals out with the shampoo. if u dont wash it out well enough the moliculs will solidify again and the permanent color will apear again fasion colors work differently so the best way to get rid of it is to just strip the hair and fade it. with for example dandruff shampoo and vitamin c over multiple sessions. and then correct the tone of your hair with a toner.

Carrie Thomas: I love your video’s you always make me smile with your humour you don’t take anything too seriously

Unfortunately Myself: The kinds of color remover you’re using are for dyes that go through an oxidization process in which the particles of dye expand in your hair cuticle so they can’t fall back out. You are using a chemical process that reverses that oxidization process (STRICTLY for dyes that have developers). You need to use a color remover made strictly for direct dyes in which the particles simply sit on top of the cuticle like a stain. You’re looking for something closer to a stain remover rather than a strong chemical reaction.

Daniel Lloyd: Colour remover works by shrinking the colour molecule from oxidative dyes. Since yours was a direct staining dye, there are no molecules to shrink as it is stained not dyed

rdioactive girl: You are such a cool and funny person, love to watch your videos! And i want to be honest.. as a german, i liked the part when you talked in german. (Yes, i think we people from Germany love that generally, it's not a cliche)

Felix Cat: Pleaaaase do a flaxseed gel Video again, it’s so fun to watch you play with it and like the results :D

Hera: Ah, I used that before. Made my hair coppery ginger orangey red. From a brown that was over a blonde. I tried it another time, too, and it just doesn’t work well on my hair. Plus it smells like ßøôtÿhòłē and makes my hair dry af. I’ve just decided not to ever touch my hair again. Going a few months strong and, honestly, my hair has never been softer in my adult life. German here: I give your German 4 out of 5 Pablos!

CLMbesties4life: A girl I watch on YouTube puts a shower cap on, a heating pad, and a towel over all of it to keep her head warm while processing :) hope this helps next time you need to keep your head warm!

Mandy Neuhaus: Why does the pink stays so long in your hair?? :D The last few months I've got various shades of red and pink and it took like 3-4 weeks to be nearly grey again. But I wash my hair with colder water sooo... why is yours so permanent? :D

The Loc Journey: A trick I learned from a professional stylist is tht they like to douse the hair in oil & leave in conditioner cause the color pigments tend to be swallowed into the oil from the hair cuticles making it easier to strip hair color out nd u can use wat ever color removing process u like cause the method seams to work wit any process. Also wen u cover ur hair in leave in conditioner then wit oil make sure u let them sit in ur hair until it’s completely absorbed Do Not Wash The oil or conditioner out LET IT ABSORB INTO THE HAIR before u start ur color removing process

Luza_Luzeins: Lindy I send you good energys to overcome whatever your overcoming and tell you that is okay and that you can achieve whatever you prupose.

Beth Parkin: Watching you makes me happy ☺️

GlitterBroker: Have you ever tried a vitamin c treatment to remove the direct dye? Aka Aislinn does this all the time when she wants to change color but not bleach her hair. I've used it to get out a really stubborn teal and it worked like magic!

inż. BHP: I love this product ❤️

HinagikuKohana: Ayooo, random person from Germany here to inform you that you nailed the pronunciation...I still laughed hard af when you started reading the instructions though!

Aimee Tino: Omg y r u me? Lol when I get something in my head that I wanna do, I have to do it as well! I did a color remover today and it did work for me…maybe not as good as I wanted in some spots lol but for the most part I like it. I used color fix and I got it from Sally’s beauty supply and it does have a sulfur/rotten egg smell and the smell fades over a few days and washings with shampoo and conditioner

korber De Kraai: Ik hou echt van deze video's. Ik kijk er altijd naar uit als er weer een nieuwe haarverf video is Geweldig gewoon

Ass: Ładne zajebiste cut kocham love hair short

Kim: Im frightened by the sentence: I'm gonna do it again^^ Edit: Are you kidding meee? Water would remove the color better than this product O_o But anyway damn boyyyy I love your energy<3

EmesaAmze: Im telling you do this a few times it takes out my pink wonderfully!!!!! vitamin C powder bakingsoda dandruff shampoo like a teaspoon of each powder and a bit more shampoo leave it in for a few hours, do it like twice and it should do the trick, hope it helps, love u

mrss_foster: You should try vitamin c tablets crushed in conditioner. It lightens the current hair color(kind if works like bleach) but it bleached my purple hair to orange

Zissa93: I used this stuff before and it did a decent job but i heard that they changed the formula this stuff smells soooo bad, even weeks after using it the hair smells like rotten eggs when it gehts wet aaaand DONT use bleach or chemical hair dye after . I did it once and all my hair was like chewinggum so stretchy and bäääh i lost so many hairs in the shower that i cut them all off And last but not least have a nice day und sorry for my bad english (still learning)

Dark Mermaid: Okay, I know color oops smells bad but it always works really good for me

Katherine Plowman: Lindys hair grows faster than my credit card debt

Flavia Gomes: Please, try others colors removers!

Momma Bear: Artic Fox Virgin Pink is the hardest color I have ever tried to remove. Good luck

Natalie Schneider: If you see this you should try my hair color removal method (it got me from pink to white in the past) 1part baking soda 1part dish soap 1part 20vol or 10 vol developer and 1part regular shampoo apply all over and leave for 20 minutes it shouldn’t be very damaging if it does at all but it is drying so I recommend a hair mask after I hope you see this because this method helped me so much with changing color often and not murdering my hair too bad

Clara Hofmann: For removing semi permanent colour you need to use effassor!! Colour B4 is for permanent hairdye I tried it myself and it smells disgusting all for nothing :)

Sanna x: Vitamin C powder (in white) and deep clean shampoo helped me

shadow: Colour B4 has changed dramatically for the worse unfortunately i use the cheaper brand Provoke it is brilliant

Chloe: It doesn't work on semi permanent dyes, I think its only good for permanent dyes, it didn't take out the blue pigment but pretty much got my box black back to blonde hahaha!

peacefulrain214: Sorry it was a “fail” in this video There’s always bleach but you still have your nails on that’s amazing

__colourcaaat__: the Introduktion: this product is only for perm or semiperm haircolor, not for direct hair colors. Everyone with direct hair color in their hair: Oh yes, this will work!!!! Why is nobody reading the Introduktion??

ayano: watching this right after dying my hair bright purple ✨

andrea humble: You can't remove it with that because its a direct dye not a oxygenated colour,I don't know if you can find it online but you can get a matrix socolor cult remover that takes out direct dye and guy tang also makes one too,the type you use will only remove permanent or demi colours x

J SS: If you know what youre doing, you’d be doing iT correct lmao

Reihana94: Try vitamin c pills and dish soap. Works like a charm

birdiegirl1998: If it’s anything like color oops it doesn’t work on semi permanent dye but I really do love the magenta/platinum combo you have currently!!

Xander Mateusz: Crystal: I don't wanna bleach it Yeah, right, good joke.

Tania Jansen: Crush heaps of vitamin c and mix into anti dandruff shampoo apply it thickly to hair leave on for two to three hours in a towel and wash out removes so much colour

BananaNanaGirl2000: I actually used the exact ptoduct a few years ago... but when I used it again in july it didnt work at all. I dont know what they did but it used to work :c

Jannat Anwer: I always do a bleach bath to remove color,it works the best

RealEric: 3:10 is not the real German anthem tho. This part is actual forbidden in Germany because it says "Germany above everything in the world".

Just Shade: The warming of the hair is to open the hair follicles

Violet/ Alexei: Your hair wet looks so pretty

Angela Valdelvira: I recommend bleach powder with shampoo (better for dandruff) and a little bit of water, it is more cheap and probably more effective. (It isnt that harmful bcs there isnt peroxyd). It really works

90’s Baby 666: this stuff smells the exact same as perming solution and chemical straightening solution

Lea Ladylike: Honestly this stuff is the WORST thing you could do to your hair and for the kind of hair color you have in your hair, this stuff actually doesn’t work because it gets into the insides of the hair and basically opens the outer layer to help get permanent hair color out of it. The color you got in your hair just lays on the outside of your hair sooooooo… and you damaged your hair actually VERY badly. If you’re as unlucky as I was with that stuff, it could happen, that you won’t be able to color your hair at all because every color you try to use just falls right out of the hair again

Carol Jones: If you want to fade it try dandruff or clarifying shampoo mixed with a little dish soap. It will take a few times but should lift the color. Just FYI dandruff shampoo is drying so be prepared to do a deep conditioning treatment :)

Gigi W: Crystal: I think it's going to be fine... ok? Narrator: It was in fact NOT fine...

Iza bela: I choked when you said you'll wait 6 months to change your hair

Elizabeth T.: Color oops works great! I turned my hair orange. Like a penny but oranger. It was awful. Color oops took it right out.

Courtzi Davies: I’d definitely use a vitamin c treatment which is vitamin c tablets, dandruff shampoo and dish soap. Either that or a bleach bath. Has slays worked for me

z0mb1e_irl: try using a heating pad with it wrapped in a towel so it keeps it warm :>

Slurpy Durp: A friend of mine used hair colour remover and it killed her hair. It didn’t remove the colour tho

Elena IllyDragonfly: So... maybe dye it black? Dark colors cover everything.

Planetblue: I used that colour remover but extra strength on red and black hair and it worked great. I personally wouldn't use the original like you have though, I always pick extra strength lol

Pedro Henrique: why dont you just let your hair the way it is for a moment

Johannes Halberstadt: Color removers are designed to take out permanent colors, not semi-permanent direct dyes. Like, the color remover tries to undo the chemical reaction, that the developer made, when coloring hair a permanent color with developer. It's designed to reverse the oxidation that takes place. That's why it doesn't usually work on direct dyes, like manic panic, stargazer, xmondo and so on. Because there is no oxidative process involved to begin with. Sometimes it works a little on direct dyes, just because you heat, rinse and lather your hair so much. So a direct dye, that would come out by washing anyway, gets reduced too. But in this case, yours was very stubborn. I would recommend two rounds of vit c treatment with clarifying shampo back to back and then wait gor a week and wash it in hot water and condition every day...it won't damage your hair as much and you should see a marked result.

Jen the Nosey Witch: "I know what I'm doing but, I'm doing it wrong"....... My whole life

Alyse Andrews: "the exact same color, now it just smells bad"

Celine Abreu: Me at 5:22 - she's gonna do this till she drops the bottle Me at 5:42 - I TOLD YA
