Try a DIY Approach No color strippers? No problem. Tish and Snooky present a quick, gentler method for correcting an unsatisfactory hair color: Mix baking soda with equal parts shampoo. Leave the mixture on hair for five minutes before rinsing with warm water. They suggest following with a hot oil treatment, since it will also help remove color, plus, it will prevent damage.
Other DIYs include using dish soap to strip off too-intense color or applying lemon juice. The acidic properties in the latter will reduce the intensity of hair color, according to Tish and Snooky. After all treatments, use a good conditioner to keep tresses looking their best.
