    Very good decoloration

    I was very unsure if this would work on my hair since I have put many layers of red permanent color in my hair for 2 years, I was also afraid it would ruin my curls. It managed to remove quite a bit of my red pigments so I am very satisfied! With Olaplex No. 3 and Macadamia Hair Food, the condition of my hair was practically restored. Most of the smell disappeared from my hair after all the rinses. #tävling

    Not what I expected…

    So I had a whim to get rid of my red hair and try to go back to a more “natural” hair color, i.e., back to my Scandinavian original color. I know it wouldn’t go back after one time, but I thought all the red would wash out, and then I could put a toner on afterward. But no. It feels a bit pointless to have held on for so long with the stench, plastic wrap, and heat (three things I have such a hard time with) for a nonexistent result. I do NOT recommend this product. (And no, I didn’t buy the product through Lyko but at Ica, but it’s exactly the same product)

      Hey Michelle 🤗 Just like Therese says, red tones can stick like glue, and a second round with colorless may be needed. I still think you got a very nice result from one round 🤍 Remember to wait about a week before you put a toner in your hair to avoid risking any chemical reaction. So you get the color you want 🙏

    Dark brown to chocolate brown

    Hi! I just dyed my hair at a salon, and it turned out much darker than I expected. My roots are almost black, but it's a bit lighter on the rest of my hair since my hair was previously bleached blonde and my roots are my natural light brown color. I therefore have two questions: - I would like to have more chocolate brown hair than my current black-brown. I would therefore just like to be about 1 shade lighter. Is it possible to control this in any way, e.g. by how long you leave the color remover in? - Can anything be said about how much lighter the previously bleached hair will be compared to the roots? I assume it will be a bit uneven. Thanks in advance! :)

      Hello Julia! ☺️ When transitioning from black to light brown, it's important to give your hair some time between dyeing sessions to avoid excessive damage. Ideally, you should wait around 7 to 10 days between applications to give your hair time to recover. This helps prevent over-processing and gives your hair a chance to heal. Make sure to use deep conditioning treatments to nourish your hair during this process 🤍 Take care!

    Hopeless!

    Hopeless! Did not remove the semi-permanent dyes at all. The only effect I got was damaged and stinky hair…

      Hey Charlotte, thank you for taking the time to review! If the hair has been dyed many times before, some parts of the hair may have more layers of color pigment than others. This can cause the color to deposit unevenly. Sometimes you may need to repeat the treatment to achieve a more even and uniform result If the hair is a bit damaged or bleached beforehand, it may be more porous and react faster to the bleaching than healthy, untreated hair. This can be a contributing factor to the result feeling uneven/splotchy ❤️ Fingers crossed that you get it to turn out the way you want

    Red color out

    Hi. I've had red hair since summer and would like to switch back to brown. Does this product work to remove the redness so I can dye it brown?

      Hi Milla! I think one package is enough. But Lyko has a 14-day free return policy for unopened products, in case you want to take two packages and return one if you don't need it. 🥰✨

    Orange hair

    Hey!! I basically had unfinished hair with just a few highlights left at the ends, then I applied a bleach that turned out super patchy and orange. Can I use this to get rid of the color/bleach? 🤯🤲

      Hi Christopher Bleaching can only remove color and toning. It doesn't work on bleached hair. Good luck

    Help

    Hi, I have light brown hair and I dyed it dark brown because it got way too dark, black at first, and I want to get my natural hair color back. I haven't dyed it in several years. Will I get my hair color back or will the color turn orange or some other pigment that I don't want?

      Hi Tiina! and thank you for your review 💖 It's really unfortunate to hear that the product didn't work as you wanted. The effectiveness of the product is very individual, and it is certainly influenced by the hair quality as well as the starting level of the color. Have a nice day! 🤖

This product is out of stock, and we don't have an exact delivery date. Want an email when it’s back? Click “WATCH” and we’ll make it happen!

Colourless Haircolour Remover Max Effect removes both permanent and semi-permanent hair color, boasting 25% more active ingredients to effectively break down stubborn dark color buildups. This ultra-powerful formula effortlessly eliminates black, red, brown, and dark blonde shades.

Remember to wait a few days to a week before going for your next color treatment.

TIPS & TRICKS:

This product works by releasing the molecules of the colored hair, and occasionally, if the hair isn't rinsed out thoroughly, remnants of the old hair dye might stick around and cause a smell.
That's why it's crucial to rinse your hair properly for 5 minutes if it's short and 10 minutes if it's long and thick, as recommended in the instructions.

Caught with lingering odors? Don't worry, we've got you covered with some handy tricks.
To banish any persistent smells from your hair, try the following concoction:

1. Combine 10% water-soluble baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) with 90% water and leave it in your hair for 5-10 minutes.

2. Next, apply an acid-based solution to acidify your hair, such as 5% white vinegar (acetic acid) or 5% lemon juice (citric acid) mixed with 95% water. Allow this solution to do its thing for 3 to 5 minutes, then rinse your hair out well.
This step will produce carbon dioxide gas, which helps remove the chemicals that cause that nasty smell in your hair.

3. Lastly, wash your hair with your usual shampoo.
