5 Best Tips to Remove That Purple Hair Color at Home

#Method 1: Shampooing

If you’ve got the time and are a fan of DIY projects, this is your best bet. It’s important to note that this method can be tedious and may require repeat applications before you start to see results. The shampooing process tends to work best when done every other day, but less often than that will likely increase your chances of getting rid of your orange color faster.

Shampooing your hair with baking soda is also much more effective when combined with an acidic substance like lemon juice or apple cider vinegar (ACV). You’ll need about two tablespoons of each per cup of water in order to dilute it enough for safe application on your scalp and hairline without burning yourself.

#Method 2: Honey and Apple Cider Vinegar for Hair Color Removal

To remove your hair color, you’ll need:

  • 1/2 cup honey (preferably local and raw)
  • 1/2 cup ACV (apple cider vinegar)

Apply the mixture from roots to tips of your hair, leave on for 20 minutes, rinse with warm water and wash your hair with a mild shampoo. Repeat this once a week for one month.

#Method 3: Baking Soda for Hair Dye Removal

You can use baking soda to remove hair dye. Start by mixing shampoo with baking soda, then adding water until it reaches the consistency of a paste. Apply the mixture to your hair, leaving it on for 5–10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Repeat this process two or three times if necessary, depending on how long you’ve had your hair dyed (the longer you’ve had it colored, the more likely it is that you’ll need another round).

#Method 4: Lemon Juice for Removing Hair Dye

Mix lemon juice with water or coconut oil and apply evenly throughout your hair. Leave it on for 15-30 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Repeat this process until you have achieved the desired color effect.

To remove pastel purple from blonde hair, use a mixture of 1 teaspoon of olive oil, 1/4 cup of milk, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and enough water to make a paste that is easy to apply but not too runny. After applying this mixture to your hair, leave it on for 20 minutes before rinsing thoroughly again with warm water.

#Method 5: Clarifying Shampoo for Purple Hair Color Removal

  • Use a clarifying shampoo to remove the purple hair dye. A clarifying shampoo is designed to remove build up and product residue, as well as any unwanted deposits of color from your hair.
  • Use a clarifying shampoo with a pH of 7 to 8. This type of shampoo has been proven to be effective in removing purple hair dye by creating an alkaline environment that allows the dye molecules to break down and release from your strands more easily.
  • Use a moisturizing conditioner after every other day washing. You can use oil treatments or hot oil treatments on alternate days until you reach your desired shade, which will likely be after 2-3 washes with the clarifying shampoo for purple hair color removal method listed above!

  • Wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo and conditioner.
  • Apply the hair color remover to the affected area.
  • Leave on for 20 minutes, then rinse away with cool water until all color has been removed.
