Colour B4 Review

I used Colour B4 (Extra Strength) the other day in order to help me remove lots and I mean LOTS of unwanted colour. I hadn't dyed my hair since.. I think it was June because I dyed it a week before I went on holiday and it went really, really dark. I decided to give my hair a rest for a couple of months as I'm putting in a real effort to grow my hair and attacking it with hair dye after hair dye surely isn't going to help the process.  After a while my hair faded into many different colours and for some weird reason it was really starting to get me down.

I've used Colour B4 about 2-3 times before and I've been disappointed, although I'm not sure whether is due to the fact that they have changed formulas or if I was doing the process completely wrong. When I've it in the past it's either done nothing at all or worked and then faded back to the old colour after a few days. After researching about ways to stop these two things from happening, I slapped it all on my head and wrapped it all up in a plastic bag (cling film would have worked better but we didn't have any in!) and used a hairdryer on my hair every 10 - 15 minutes or so to speed up the process. I should warn you that it does smell a little bit of egg but as long as you throw the product away immediately and wash your clothes afterwards then it should fade pretty quickly. Rinsing away the 'hair molecules' meant standing in the shower for at least 40 minutes but it is SO important that you do this as it gets rid of all of the crap in your hair. The buffer they provide smells a like apples which is pleasant, especially compared to the eggy smell! It is best to use a good conditioner once your finally finished as it does leave your hair pretty dry but don't worry, it doesn't leave lasting damage on your hair at all.

All in all, I'm really happy with the results, I started out with really patchy, dark brown hair and ended up with a light brown/ginger colour which I am extremely content with as it's easy to dye over (examples are below). I would strongly recommend this product and I know you may think it's quite expensive at £11.99 but that's only a fraction of the price you would have to pay at a salon and it works just as well. You should always take into consideration about the length/thickness of your hair or how many times you've dyed your hair in the past because in these cases it would be best to get two packs of Colour B4. If that's a little bit out of your price range, Boots or Superdrug have offers on this product quite frequently or check ebay! Anyway, I've hoped I've helped at least a tiny amount and if you try out this product try the tips I've given and make sure you follow the instructions to a tee!

Good Luck!
