Fade Your Dye With Shampoo Tish and Snooky say that the easiest way to fade too-bright hair color is with shampoo, particularly a clarifying shampoo (or something equally strong). If you go that route, both Demelo and Aronson suggest lathering up with a sulfate-free shampoo.
In terms of the application, forget all the rules about what you shouldn't do after coloring hair — and break them. It's typically recommended to rinse freshly colored hair with cool water to maintain it. In the case of too-intense hair color, hot water can actually be used to help fade it.
