Abstract
The instant disclosure relates to methods for removing color from artificially colored hair. The methods include a two-step process: (I) applying a reducing composition to hair that has been colored with oxidation dyes and rinsing the reducing composition from the hair; and (II) applying an alkalizing composition to the hair and rinsing the alkalizing composition from the hair. The step can be carried out in either order. The methods effectively remove color from artificially hair in a quick and gentle manner without employing an oxidizing agent.
