i used it a few months ago and it doesnt take ALL the colour out. the ends of my hair were still darker than the roots and it made my hair a little orangey. it did not take my hair colour back to its original colour. saying that it did make my hair feel alot better. i dyed it straight away again but still didnt get a perfect result. my hair was still two different shades from top to bottom.

Yes I have .
I was trying to strip out the purple and red (don't ask) in my hair .
And it went a lovely shade of Tangerine !
I ofcourse went against all advice and put another colour immediately on top of the tangerine so it now looks quite nice .

I will add the disclaimer that I am starting chemo again next week so all my hair is going to fall out anyway , so I really wasn't bothered about any damage Grin

I've used it several times with varying results, it should work fine for you as you've only just applied the colour. The only time it didn't do much for me was when I had months of black buildup.

The only thing is, sometimes the colour sort of creeps back eventually, apparently it's 're-oxidised' (not sure what that means but that's the word they use). If you're going to dye over it again it shouldn't matter.

Know this product inside out Grin

it does work and your hair WILL be a gingery brown shade.
Use anti oxy shampoo and conditioner and dont dye it for 2 weeks as it will re oxidise and go dark again.
The first time you use it you will be horrified at the gingeryness but it will fade to a brown over a few days. You will either leave it and be quite happy or you will want to re-dye. if so use a semi in a dark/ash blonde. Dont use a semi with peroxide in.
