Gonna have a bit of a vapid ramble and image binge about my experience with colour B4 seeing as I can’t edit the video on a chromebook without rooting.
I used this one: Colour B4 extra, removes dark tones and build up. I got it from tesco and was £9.99, was the only place open and the last one.
For those that don’t know, it’s basically a drug-store hair colour stripper/remover.
My hair texture and colour: fine but there’s lots of it and is a medium brown colour.
The dye: I had dye on my fringe/bangs, had bleached it, then half blonde and the other half brown top and red underneath, and bleached one side until it was white, then finally red underneath and brown on top, so safe to say a few colours are there in the space of 4 months.
Brief hair history in pics to illustrate above paragraph ~
Right before using Colour B4: flash
The plait is my natural colour:
Before again: No flash
The rest of my hair is virgin hair, done the whole sabotage the hair thing, mohawk, shaved off, and one time my Aunt (who’s a hairdresser) spent 6 hours once taking me from purple/black to bright red with 2 streaks of stripes – stripped, bleached and dyed twice! The dye of my fringe was more of a method of getting it out my system for a change, plus it was okay if it messed up I’d just rock a Riff Raff style for a little while.
My experience: ‘painless’ and it was incredibly easy to use, as usual there is anxiety of worrying you’ve done it wrong and wasted £9.99 or your hair, the instructions were clear and I did do a test patch, which honestly I don’t do usually, I was fascinated to see results – sort of like a science experiment. It was successful so I popped it on my fringe (using only about a quarter of the mixtures) and waited, once removing colour b4, after an hour, my hair felt a little fine but that’s to be expected, no brassy feel, just needed the ends to be trimmed and it was fine. It removed the dark brown and grody colour build up and I have really nice chestnut colour fringe, with a little caramel blonde underneath one half still, but that’s because there was only red on the bleach and no brown or anything so it stripped to the last colour. As for the odour I see mentioned a lot, it really isn’t a huge deal or smells bad, only thing is that it lingered like any other dye so common sense to open a window or something might help if you are sensitive to certain smells~
I would recommend Colour B4 and definitely I would’ve used this back in the day when I was hot on dying my hair often. I know in the future I do have the option to use this if I ever change my mind in dying. So don’t discontinue!
