Does prell shampoo work for hair thats been dyed for a long time?

When people say they used ';prell'; shampoo to strip/ remove some of their dark hair color after its been dyed..does that only work when its just been dyed or does it work if you have had your hair dyed for a long time? Because i dyed my hair black about 6 months ago and i havent dyed it any color ever since. i bought the shampoo thinking it was gonna help it get some of the color out. But im thinkin is there anything i can do to help get at least some of the black hair dye out or do i just have to to go the salon since its been a long time since ive dyed it. i went to the salon like 3 months ago to go get the black taken out and re dyed like a light brown. but when she wet my hair she told me it wasnt a good idea since my hair was too damaged and it would probably fry it..so i had no choice but to cut my long hair shoulder length. i dont know what to do anymore i hate having black hair im just gonna shave it off...jk.

Prell Shampoo has nothing in it that will open the cuticle of your hair and lift pigment out. You need a strong chemical to do that.





You could try using a color remover and re-dying -- that is if you think enough time has passed and you will follow the directions to the letter. To re-dye it, you should use the more gentle demi-permanent dyes for several more months to avoid damaging it even more after you strip the color.

If you don't think you can risk stripping the color yourself, you should go back to the salon. If stripping the color isn't an option even at the salon, you might want to look at some demi-permanent dyes at Sally Beauty to refresh your color or tone it so it looks more even while you wait for it to grow out. I would never use anything but a demi-permanent color now. My hair is coarse/wavy texture; bleaching it, and even permanent dyes, can cause breakage. So I use demi-permanent color only in my own shade or darker. I buy the colors at Sally Beauty, and the 10vol. developer. I mix 2 parts 10vol developer to 1 part distilled water to make it about 7 vol.





';'Demi Permanent' hair color


Companies like Compagnia Del Colore from Italy have found a way to use a permanent hair color for deposit only. This is done by mixing permanent hair color with low volume (usually a 7 volume developer) that blows off the ammonia from the permanent tube and deposits only into the hair shaft. A demi is a gentle permanent color used whenever you want to deposit color without lifting the natural pigment but with the deep penetration results of permanent hair color. Since they are gentle, they are perfect for tint-backs and colorpriming. They are also great for toning pre-lightened hair.';

There should be a toll free number on the Prell packaging.


Use it and ask the specialist at that end this exact question.
