Color Oops Review (extra strength):
Color Oops is a hair color remover that removes semi permanent hair dye. Some of it’s claims are:
That it can remove color only in 20 minutes.
It’s ammonia and bleach free.
It’s safe and has no damaging effects like bleach.
It can remove the most difficult color and build-up.
You can recolor your hair that same day.
“Color Oops corrects your hair color by shrinking the dye molecules, allowing you to simply wash them away.”
Oops comes with:
A clear bag (used for a hair cap)
Two bottles of products (labeled 1 & 2)
To use Oops you pour the product in bottle two into bottle one and shake it for 30 second. Then you you apply to the part(s) of your hair that you wish to as fast as possible. You cover you hair with the bag and let it process for 20 minute. After the 20 minutes you need to wash it out. This part is important. You HAVE to rinse your hair for another 20 minuets in warm water. Use shampoo a few times during, but you have to rinse constantly. That’s when the most of the product will come out. Then it suggest to towel dry your hair because of what you just put it through. You can use Oops up to 3 times.
I have dyed my hair for probably around two years now. I’ve used mostly cheap dyes, too. And we all have that one friend who warns us before we take the dive, “Once you dye it black it’s going to be a bitch to get out.” So, initially I didn’t expect that Oops would do anything to my hair at all. Which, in saying that, it’s probably a good thing that I am not a professional.
The first application of Color Oops did get a good amount of dye out of my hair. I was shocked. I’ve used a second application and it removed even more. But my ends are being stubborn because they have the most layers of dye on them so it’s going to be a bit harder. And my hair felt the same as it did before I used Oops. The only complaint I have about this product is that it smells so BAD. Because it has sulfur in it. That’s it!
Does it remove color in 20 minutes? Yes. Ammonia and bleach free? Yes. Not damaging? Yes. Can it remove most difficult build-up? Yes, two years of it. Can you recolor the same day? Yes. But I don’t recommend it at all. The molecules in your hair are so open that it will take super easy to any color. That means that any color you use can end up turning your hair back to the color that was in your hair before or even darker.
Do I recommend this product? Totally.
It only cost $10.36 at Walmart. So it’s pretty cheap.
