After lots of rinsing, shampooing and blow drying I was so pleased with the result. I have not applied any dye to my hair, this is literally the colour that it went after removing the lotion.

Almost 75% of American women and men color their hair. If you're one of them, you've probably walked away from a salon appointment— or DIY scenario—unhappy with the result. Hey, hair color snafus can—and do—happen! It's how you handle them that matters. Enter: hair color removers. They're essentially magic color erasers that strip out unwanted dye or help fade it to the point where it's more to your liking.

I want to also add, DO NOT put a permanent colour straight on top of your hair after using a colour remover. It will only go dark again. Use a semi permanent preferably (One that lasts only a few shampoos).

Obviously not for those using direct dyes though. I feel Colour B4 max strength is stronger than this. But that this is the same as Colourless. In fact I think its made in the same place and wouldn’t be surprised if it is the same (I just can’t remember if that ones comes with a conditioner and if it smelt the same).Revolution Pro Hair Colour Remover doesn’t smell as strong as the likes of Colour B4. It does have that ‘egg’ like scent but I found it a little milder. So, it got to Saturday afternoon and I decided that I had enough time to do the process (allowing for the 45 minutes developing time and 15 minutes rinsing time). In hindsight, when washing the lotion off it would be a lot more comfortable to actually sit in the bath, rather than lean over it like I did.
