L Oreal Colorzap Hair Color Remover Kit

 (7 customer reviews)

Well this does work very well to remove haircolour. However, it also lightens natural hair, even though it indicates it won't on the box. So be careful! If roots have grown out at all, this would not be suitable for home use, as you have to be VERY careful not to get it on the roots. By the time this has been on the hair long enough to remove the dye from the dyed part of the hair, the roots will be VERY bleached, so if this touches the roots at all you'll have a line of blonde/white hair where it hits the roots. (Yes, this happened to me when I used it expecting it wouldn't bleach like it said on the box... What a pain that was!)

To remove haircolour without lightening, try another colour remover like Colorfix (by One n' Only), or Color Oops. These products only remove dye and don't bleach, so they actually have the potential to get you back to your virgin haircolour (dark permanent dyes often don't lighten hair, so your real haircolour is still there under the dye).

I had dyed my hair black with L'oreal Feria color. It was suppose to be a natural black, but ended up JET BLACK. I hated it. After tons of "hair color remover product" internet research, I finally took the Colorzap plunge.

It's definitely a mild bleach product -- it smelled, looked, and acted like a bleach, but didn't do the damage that pure salon bleach tends to do. I used to bleach my hair at home years ago using just a bleach packet and developer (which, although they don't say it, seems to be exactly what this is), and it dried my hair out quite a bit more than Colorzap. I would highly recommend having a friend do the actual application, as you are suppose to apply it tip to root (opposite regular hair color) and it starts acting quickly so you need to get it on there, fast and evenly. I left it on for about an hour and it was a orange/red/blonde color. I put a semi-permenant medium brown dye over it (Clairol's Natural Instincts) and it took well but a little of...Read more

I've experimented with different shades through the years, so I've tried various hair color removal products in order for my next shade to go evenly. (I also find that red likes to stick to my porous ends forever, despite the fact that its a fast fading color!)

This is one of the worst ones yet. First of all, I doubt this stuff is very gentle. I was wearing an old hair raggy dye shirt and it bleached it so bad it ate through the shirt, creating several huge holes. My goodness, I never thought something could completely ruin my old hair dying shirt. I've never had anything 'gentle' do that before! It's also liquid-y like water, making the application process real messy. The worst part is it's very difficult to apply evenly, because once you rub it around your hair clumps to it...it's almost a glue-ish texture. The only way I could get it to go on evenly was to comb it through, which I did very little of, since it was literally tearing up my hair. Instead I tried to saturate...Read more
