How do I get rid of my bright blue, purple and pink hair???!! 😭

I'm not sure what the F I was thinking. I'm too old for stupid hair mistakes.
Isolation bit me on the butt.

I'd like to avoid colourB4 - if possible. Only because it's full of chemicals and dries your hair out.

Apart from head and shoulders (I'm on it!) what other methods can get rid of crazy coloured hair?

I'd just leave it for a while!

Even if it was a mistake in the sense that you wouldn't do it AGAIN, enjoy it for a while.

From the picture it looks nice. Definitely doesn't have mistake written all over it. Put it in a classic french plait if you feel it's too young.

I found vosene works better than head and shoulders

Just leave it, I rather like it and you can’t be seen.

The bad bit (the top, blue part) isn't in the picture. It looks horrendous. 😭

I think it's nice!
How bad is the blue section?
Is it just the shade of blue you don't like?

The pink purple part should fade quite quickly with frequent washing . The more clarifying the shampoo the better .

The blue on the other hand....

I have multicoloured hair and when I have blue it never comes out however many times I wash it. It'll fade to a light baby blue at best. Only way to lift it out is with a diluted bleach wash ..which my hairdresser always does.

The part in the picture is glorious. Wear a hat or (non clashing!) scarf on the blue bit when you go outside?

Well, no-one will be seeing if that's what you're worried about...

Change the blue to really dark balayage roots and it will look awesome. The bit we can see in the photo already looks great:

Blue is a bitch. I dyed dark over the top of it but it always peeks through eventually and looks awful 😁 good luck!

Vit c tablets crushed, rinse out, wash with fairly liquid, rinse out, back to vit c tablets, etc, just have conditioner ready to slather on, and leave it in with carrier bag over your hair and a towel to heat treat and help conditioner sink in.

Fuck.

I didn't know that about blue. That's even worse than I thought.
I will get some vitamin C tablets

It's not going to wash out. You can fade it with washing up liquid washes, but that will probably make it look worse

I bleach bathed my red out but it wrecked the ends of my hair. Had 3" cut off after.

I've used colour before and that didn't seem as harsh tbh

Does it matter? We aren't going anywhere. I'd just use the head and shoulder etc and not ruin the condition. It will fade and the blue is barely visible.

Shame about the blue, the pink and purple look fab

Embrace the colours! I like it! I’ve bought my son some purple wash out hair chalk thingies as he’s been desperate to do it, and I figure there’s no better time than now!
