If its semi permanent and I want to go to a pastel pink without bleaching or anything damaging to my hair?

Blue is one of the hardest colors to get out of the hair. You know how hairstylists always tell you not to dye your hair black because it's the hardest to get out? Well all black hair color is blue based so it's a little trickier than other colors to get out of the hair completely. And honestly I don't know of any way to remove it from the hair without some sort of color stripper or bleach. Since its semi permanent, try using dawn dish detergent and wash your hair in it a few times to see if it'll fade the blue out any. It won't fade it enough so that the pink will show up, but it should help in case you have to bleach it again.. But remember..color doesn't lift or remove color. So if you put pink on top of that blue without removing it from the hair, it is only going to get darker!

You can use a box product called Colorb4, it works but smells really bad. It contains no bleach or anything.

Hi darling. you would use an orange based color to cancel out the blue color to get you to one even shade and then you would deposit the color that you want. orange cancels out blue (vice versa), red cancels green (vice versa) and violet cancels out yellow golden (vice versa) so you definitely. needa cancel out the blue with and orange based color:) hope that works doll
