2. Bath salts- You can use bath salts too in order to fade away the color from your hair. Bath salts usually have sodium bicarbonate which helps in removing the unwanted dye from your hair. You can also use Epsom salt if you don’t have bathing salts handy. Make a solution by combining water and bath salt, transfer it to a spray bottle and spritz it on your hair.

4. Anti-dandruff shampoo- One of the simplest ways to remove unwanted hair dye from your hair is to wash your hair with an anti-dandruff shampoo. The pH level of the anti-dandruff shampoos is quite high and thus, it helps in fading away semi-permanent hair dyes. But don’t just choose any anti-dandruff shampoo, the ones that you get on medical stores or those prescribed by the dermatologists are the best ones for this purpose. Also, whenever you wash your hair with the anti-dandruff shampoo make sure to condition your hair each time.

5. Color removers- Color removers are readily available in the market and are most preferred for permanent hair colors. There are two variants available in the market- color strippers and color reducers. Color reducer is not that harsh but does not take away all the color off your hair. On the other hand, color strippers are much stronger and strips off all the color from the hair shaft. If you decide to use these make sure to read the instructions carefully.
