How to remove silver shampoo - hair too dark

9 replies

telephonelady · 01/02/2025 00:19

My hairdresser used a silver shampoo on my hair today and it's really darkened it. I don't like it at all! My hair is salt and pepper colour. I usually use purple shampoo which brightens it and brings out the "salt" shades. This is most definitely pepper 😐.

Do I need to buy a clarifying shampoo? What brand should I get? Washing up liquid maybe?! I ideally want it gone in the next 5 days.

Help!

If it was just a shampoo I don't think you'll have to do anything drastic they usually fade really quickly!

What Brand was it out of interest

No idea about the brand, sorry.

Try adding a bit of bicarb to your usual shampoo.

get some Head & Shoulders shampoo, it's great for stripping out unwanted hair colour.

Vosene is good at stripping colour. Can you even still buy it though?! Maybe at somewhere like Savers!

My teen uses Head and Shoulders so I'll try that in the morning. Thanks,

@MrsJHernandez Yes! You can get Vosene at Home Bargains / B&M etc. It is much loved in my house.

I only used Vosene once to strip a barbie pink colour out of my hair about 25 years ago!

I remember this from the 80's/90's and used to love the smell when I was a kid...

Can't believe they still make it!
