Why does colour b4 smell

There is no point wasting that liquid gold on your Natural Hair, keep it on the areas that need to remove the Hair Colour. We like to wait at least 48 hours before Colouring and longer when you are lightening the Hair. After Colour Removing your Hair shaft is completely open, so it absorbs anything you put on your Hair. This can make your Colour a lot darker. So when reColouring, choose a Colour 2 shades Lighter than your desired Colour outcome.

We advise to wait 48 hours to let the Hair settle. Good luck Millie, make sure to send us some before and after pics! Search Products Expand menu Collapse menu. Support Expand menu Collapse menu.

Most people like to wait a couple of days, wash it once or twice a day before using the bleach or dye after using colour b4 that way they know the residues are out.

Thanks Mathurine Im very grateful for your replies on here and other posts.. It's designed to remove dye, not your natural colour. Only bleach can remove natural colour. Love this stuff! Got black to ginger, and recovered a blonde streak from underneath 3 layers of orange!

My sister had ash blonde hair, and dyed over it with a directions orange but is wanting to go black blonde. It's hit and miss on veggie dyes, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't because it's not made for veggie dyes. You could always try it but her hair has to be very faded beforehand and it's an expensive gamble.

She'd probably be better off fading as much as possible then bleachbathing etc. How good do you reckon this would be on directions atlantic blue?? Just wanted to add my own experience with this product's horrendous smell. After I applied the buffer twice, I washed my hair with a nice smelling shampoo Alberto Balsam to try and get rid of as much of the smell as possible. I also conditioned it with a nice smelling conditioner also Alberto Balsam.

When I dried it the stench was barely noticeable and my hair wasn't dry either. It felt very good in fact! I have just used this with good results. My hair is light ash brown, and two applications have taken the top section to a very slightly coppery brown and the end sections dark brown, from years of dying with Schwarzkopf XXL black. I am only an occasional user of megahot straighteners etc. My hair is in an angled bob, from shaved at the back to chind length at the front.

It does stink, but I'm not really noticing any smelliness in my hair today the morning after an evening use. I used the buffer twice and then some American Cream conditioner by Lush.

My hair is quite soft this morning; not as soft as it usually is after a wash but certainly not terribly bad. It was in very good condition before I used the COlour B4 though. Swilks 2 weeks was about what I was thinking. I remember last time my hair stank when it was wet. Maybe after 2 weeks you stop smelling it. In the past, I found that shaving foam was pretty good at covering up the smell.

I can't recall the brand, but it might've been the Tesco one. Don't know if there's really anything special to it, but it seemed to keep me from gagging every time I washed my own hair. Maybe try another colour remover? It's not really a solution, but when I first used a colour remover I was dreading the smell. But when I used it, the smell was very mild and mostly covered up by the fragrance they added.

When I washed my hair there was virtually no trace of the sulfur smell left behind and my hair was actually so soft and nice. The brand was generic to the store I think, but it was called Crema Colour. I had this problem everytime I worked out for about 2 weeks. Once my hair got a little damp from my sweat, it started smelling really bad and it made me feel super insecure.

At the time I didn't have 'the' solution. The next 2 days I kept up with the rinsing, washing and deep conditioning. The result: I smelled for 2 days and nothing more. This is a bit off topic, but you are a fellow dutchie so you're the only one I can ask!

Wich color removers do you use? I have only found the kruidvat one and it works wonders for me, but I'm just curious. On topic, for me it helps to wash it 2 times with a very nice smelling shampoo and conditioner.

Maybe it also depends on the hair it's used on, I never had a very bad smelling head after using it. Very late addition to this thread but it's one of the first ones to come up when I was trying to get rid of the smell! I recently used Colourb4 extra strength remover and it was so. I washed it a couple times a day and the smell was still there a week later. Aside from the fact the remover didn't work on my bright blue hair, the smell just wouldn't go away.

Eventually, after I used bleach on it, the smell went, but I had emailed the company a few days previous with my smelly hair problem!
