You can call Colour Remover and Bleach chalk and cheese; they are two unique Products that use two uniquely different processes to remove Permanent Hair Colour. Each one impacts your Hair in its own way, influencing the next steps in your Colour journey. In true My Hairdresser style, let's dive into both options to help you decide which is the best choice for your hair transformation.
What’s the Difference Between Colour Remover and Bleach?
Colour Remover is a game-changing product. It works by penetrating the Hair shaft and gently washing away artificial pigment from permanent Hair Colour, while leaving your Natural Hair Colour (the one you were born with) untouched. Unlike bleach, it preserves the health of your hair, making it a gentler option for those looking to remove unwanted Colour.
How Colour Remover Affects Your Hair
Contains no harsh or damaging chemicals, leaving your Hair healthy and damage-free.
Does not strip your Hair's Natural Colour pigment.
Safe to use multiple times for complete Colour removal.
Ideal for frequent use to eliminate Colour Build Up, without causing harm.
Perfect for first-time home Colour users—no prior experience required.
Processes in just 20 minutes for fast results.
Will not affect semi-permanent Hair Colour.
Bleach works in a completely different way. Unlike Colour Remover, which only targets artificial Colour, Bleach penetrates the Hair shaft and destroys all pigment—both natural and artificial. This removal of pigment leaves your Hair without its natural Colour, making Bleach ideal for lightening Hair.
How Bleach Affects Your Hair
Completely removes all pigment from the Hair.
Can leave Hair dry, brittle, and prone to damage.
Not recommended for frequent use, as it may cause significant Hair damage.
Best suited for advanced users with experience.
Should always be used with caution.
No fixed processing time—results may vary.
Effectively removes semi-permanent Hair Colour.
Both Colour Remover and Bleach have their unique roles in changing your hair colour, but the best choice depends on your goals. If you’re looking for a gentle option to safely remove permanent hair dye while maintaining your natural pigment, Colour Remover is your go-to.
