Hello Wonderlandians,
Recently or somewhat recently I had decided to try out the grey fad color going around. Due to the sheer number of colors y hair has gone through, this proved to be a rather interesting turn of events.
The Walk Through:
Prior to the going grey, I had purple in my hair which had faded out to this:
So the next step I took was to wash my hair everyday for about a week and then use the Vitamin C method to fade out my grey mistake.
What You Need:
The Mixture:
This picture that follows is the before and after of using this mixture on my hair.
I unfortunately did not take a picture after this, but the purple did lift quite a bit more and left it looking closer to a very very faded pink/purple color. Which worked just fine for the color I would be doing next on my hair.
That's all for now and until next time!
Yours Truly,

Recently or somewhat recently I had decided to try out the grey fad color going around. Due to the sheer number of colors y hair has gone through, this proved to be a rather interesting turn of events.
The Walk Through:
Prior to the going grey, I had purple in my hair which had faded out to this:
I then took some One 'n Only Color Fix and removed the remnant purple, but it didn't lift all of it as it has in the past. I think this was mostly due to visibility on my end, most of the product that stayed was towards the back of my head.
Not noticing this sooner, I went ahead and began to tone my hair grey with the Wella Color Charm Liquid Permanent Hair Color Additive in Cool Violet (#050), which did turn most of the parts that had the color lifted grey. Where the remnant purple was however, went even more purple with a hint of grey...so I added some Overtone Silver dye on top. I tried rocking this funky grey/purple/blue/green color for a bit, but I couldn't do it.
So the next step I took was to wash my hair everyday for about a week and then use the Vitamin C method to fade out my grey mistake.
What You Need:
- Vitamin C Pills/Tablets
- Head and Shoulders (or any clarifying shampoo)
- Dawn Dish Soap (or any dish soap)
The Mixture:
- Crush some Vitamin C pills into a powder. Try and make it as finely milled as you can, this will make it easier to apply.
- Add in about a teaspoon of dish soap
- Add in clarifying shampoo. I added in enough to have enough product for my hair. Which ended up being quite a bit for my long hair.
- Mix these 3 things together until you have sort of a foamy product.
- Apply to areas you would like to fade the color.
This picture that follows is the before and after of using this mixture on my hair.
It actually lifted quite a bit and I was very happy that my hair didn't feel any more damaged. This was my hair prior to applying a second dose of the Vitamin C mixture to my hair, I mostly concentrated the product on the purple bits with a bit of help from my mother.
