Miracle product for lighter hair
By "mistake" I put a toner in my blonde hair, which turned out a bit too dark. This product really saved my hair, though it has three downsides in my opinion. It can lighten your natural hair color (which it did for me.) The procedure is a bit too advanced/complicated. The hair also smells very strange for several weeks after the treatment, not so fun. I still think it's worth using the product if you already have a lightness level that is close to your goal! It doesn't damage the hair like regular bleaching, my hair only became a little dry. I should add that my hair had not been dyed/toned before the dark toner, the blonde you see is bleached from my natural hair color. I also want to point out that this bleaching does not work as well on darker and warmer tones. Then I recommend instead colourless max effect.Translated from swedish

No
Absolutely no⛔️Don't buy Before I bought, I looked at a lot of pictures and thought it would work. It damages the hair a lot, and I used it right after the shower, all my hair got burned. I have black hair myself but had light highlights for several years, and last month I made a mistake and dyed my hair red, then I regretted it, and now after a month I bought B4 but I actually made a mistake. Now I'm going to make my hair black. Bleaching will actually damage less than this B4. And really, the smell is like sewage. Don't do itTranslated from swedish

2336 views- 1 monthHey Eli, have you maybe used it on freshly washed hair? I think it usually works better when you use it on slightly dirty hair since it creates a natural protection for the hair. Can I also ask you which hair mask and conditioner you have used? Hope the hair is better now, if you want to update me ❤️🌸☺️

Growth
Does it change the color of your growth? Or does it remain untouched then? :)Translated from swedish
725 views- Customer service at Lyko2 monthsHey Carolin! 😊 What a great question! Bleaching affects both artificial and natural pigments in the hair. When you bleach, the hair shaft opens up and the pigments dissolve, which means that even your own hair color can lighten and change. Therefore, the hair can take on a warmer tone afterwards, even if it hasn't been dyed before 🤍 Take care!

Nothing happened

799 views- Customer service at Lyko2 monthsHi Miranda, thank you for taking the time to review! 🤗 So sad to hear that the product didn’t give the desired result and that your hair felt damaged afterwards – we understand that is frustrating 💔 The result of a color removal can be affected by several factors, such as the type of hair dye used, the quality of the hair, and how long the dye has been in. In some cases, more than one treatment may be needed to achieve an effect ❤

Best!!!
This has worked super well on my home-dyed black hair, with underlying red color. Used it several times. Gentle to use for the hair.Translated from swedish

No!
Doesn't work on dark hair. Smells absolutely terrible. Don't dare to try the other packaging.Translated from swedish
783 views- Customer service at Lyko2 monthsHey Ingrida! 🥰 If the hair has been dyed many times or with very dark color, the pigments can sit deep and require several treatments, and some colors are harder to break down. If you want tips and advice from our hairdressers, I can recommend that you take our hair color test, which you can find in the Lyko app under the search function - BeautyScan. They are always ready to help with anything related to hair and hair colors 🥰 Have a nice day 🌷

Doesn't work on red hair
If you have fashion red hair, this doesn't work very well unfortunately 😂Translated from norwegian

Question
Hi, I'm wondering if this product is good for my hair. I have naturally blonde hair, but I've dyed it brown 3 times. The last dyeing was over 6 months ago. So can I get my blonde hair back with this product?716 views- Customer service at Lyko2 monthsHi Minea, Thank you for your question! The product is designed to remove previous hair color pigments from the hair 🩷 This could therefore work for removing dark color pigments, but it does depend on the colors previously used and the quality of your own hair! I would recommend applying the product first to a small section, so you can see how it works for removing the existing color! If the product doesn’t feel sufficient for removing the pigments, I recommend instead lightening your hair at a salon ☺️ Have a lovely day! 💛✨

Toner
Hi! I accidentally left a toner in that was supposed to make my hair platinum blonde for a bit too long. It resulted in a black-purple dark spot on the front of my head. Will this bleaching get rid of it?Translated from norwegian
629 views- Customer service at Lyko3 monthsHey there 💌 When it comes to unwanted color as a result of toners, especially dark/purple spots, it can be difficult to say for sure how the hair will react to a bleaching without knowing more about both the hair condition and what products have been used previously. Therefore, we highly recommend reaching out to a hairdresser so you can get a professional assessment and a safe solution tailored to your hair 💇♀️✨ We hope it resolves nicely, and we wish you lots of luck moving forward! 💛

ColourB4Haircolour Remover Extra Strenght 180 ml
Our new formula is based on fewer chemicals, making the product more eco-friendly than its predecessor, and we've also added vitamin C to the mix.
Hair Colour Remover Extra from Colour B4 is a home hair color remover that effectively lifts dark shades and multiple layers of color. Just apply, wait, and rinse, and you'll be left with a lighter hue. This hair remover will strip away the dyed color and return your locks to their natural shade.
NOTE! This remover is not intended for blue tones, so it won't achieve the same effect. Do not use metal foil with this product.
Before using ColourB4 TM, we recommend that for the best results, you apply it to dry, clean hair. We also suggest washing your hair with a deep cleansing shampoo to eliminate any hair care residues and silicones. This deep cleanse prevents uneven color removal results.
Usage:
Read the instructions carefully before use.
1. MIXING
Empty the entire contents of bag A into bottle B. Hold the bottle horizontally in your hand and tap it against a hard surface to ensure the powder is fully mixed. Shake vigorously for 2 minutes to ensure the ingredients are completely blended. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Shake again for another 60 seconds before starting the color removal.
2. APPLICATION
Warm your hair with a blow dryer before applying the color remover. Apply the ColourB4 TM mixture to dry, clean hair, starting from the roots to the tips. Empty the bottle completely and make sure the mixture is evenly distributed.
3. TREATMENT
Let it sit for 60 minutes. We recommend covering your hair with plastic wrap and warming it with a blow dryer, then wrapping it with a towel. It's super important to keep your hair warm throughout the entire 60 minutes. You can also warm your hair with the blow dryer during the treatment.
4. FIRST RINSE
Rinse with warm water for at least 5 minutes, or up to 10 minutes for longer, thicker hair.
5. AFTERCARE AND SECOND RINSE
After rinsing your hair well, apply half of the contents from bottle C to your hair and work up a good lather for one minute. Then rinse with warm water for 5 minutes.
6. FINAL AFTERCARE AND RINSE
Apply the rest of bottle C and work up a lather just like you would when washing your hair. Let it sit for one minute and then rinse for 5 minutes. Once the aftercare product is completely rinsed out, dry your hair as usual. We recommend using conditioner since hair color can dry out your strands.
7. CONDITIONING TREATMENT (ONLY FOR FREQUENT USE VARIANT)
Apply half of the conditioning treatment to damp hair, comb through thoroughly from root to tip, and let it sit for three minutes. Rinse your hair and repeat with the rest of the conditioning treatment. Rinse thoroughly.
HAIR STRAND TEST
If you want to preview the results (before applying the product to your hair), do a hair strand test on a small section of hair, no thicker than one centimeter. Mix one teaspoon of the activator from bag A in a plastic bowl with one tablespoon from bottle B. Stir with a plastic spoon. Apply with a glove or a piece of paper to the separated hair strand. Saturate the hair strand completely with the mixture. Let it sit for 60 minutes. Rinse for 5 minutes, dry, and check the results. DO NOT USE THE AFTERCARE FROM BOTTLE C on your hair, as it may affect the results of the actual subsequent use of ColourB4 TM.
ALLERGY TEST
Make a small mixture according to the instructions. Apply a small amount to the inner arm. Rinse the mixture off thoroughly after 60 minutes. If no allergic reactions or other skin reactions occur, you can proceed with using the hair color remover. If you notice skin reactions or other allergy symptoms while using the hair color remover, stop using the product immediately and rinse your hair thoroughly. If symptoms persist, contact a doctor.
The product releases the molecules of the colored hair, and sometimes, if you don't rinse your hair thoroughly, remnants of the old hair color can linger and smell.
That's why it's crucial, as stated in the description, to rinse your hair thoroughly for 5 minutes for short hair and 10 minutes for long, thick hair.
There are tricks to help if you encounter this issue.
To remove a lingering scent that sticks to your hair, wash your hair with the following mixture:
- Mix 10% of a water-soluble baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) with 90% water and let it sit in your hair for 5-10 minutes.
- Then use an acid-based solution to make your hair acidic, such as 5% white wine vinegar (acetic acid) or 5% lemon juice (citric acid) mixed with 95% water. Let this solution sit for 3 to 5 minutes, then rinse your hair thoroughly.
This procedure will produce carbon dioxide gas that removes the chemicals causing the unpleasant odor in your hair.
- Finish with your regular shampoo.
