#1 Quick Method of Stripping and Re-Coloring Lousy Hair Color, in other words a Quick-Fix

Stripping hair color is a weirdly worded "topic", because I don't really call it stripping hair color in the manner in which I approve doing it.

It is REVERSING Hair Color. Reversing BAD Hair Color;

I admit it is very time consuming using VANISH and you can kind of go around it now with IGORA ROYAL & Wella's Illumina. . But when I started writing this Blog there were many people who could not afford VANISH...pretty much anyone can afford the Color Correction packet & do the Shampoo Train...while you save up to purchase Vanish...you can be doing this. I promise - IT WORKS ! !

Of all the Treatment Packs this one is Great for alternating with VANISH -- when trying to get old syrupy mollasses-y Boxed Hair Color out of the Hair. Now the Shampoo Train experience comes from trying to take actors who wanted different colors all the time ...and do it safely and gently so this is my own little treatment that stems from my training at Sassoon... it works well. There is the wonderful Color Remover called VANISH we recommend. But, doing any hair color process, even removing your color is just not healthy to do every day or every week. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of room to play...and we will go into all the ways when someone poses a question they want answered.
The last trick for stubborn color

Using the Malibu2000 Color Correction packet ! + Intro to KC's "Shampoo Train"
This packet is the one I recommend to so many of you who end up here at Killerstrands in hopes of repairing and re-coloring your old horrible hair color or/ Sallys horrible ION Hair Color (which destroys hair) or Boxed Hair Color. You must get those types of hair color OUT-OF-YOUR-HAIR, first so you have a stripped down base ! !

Do the very best you can to REMOVE the old DULL Hair Color by applying 1-2-3 packets of this.
Purchase the Travel Hair Dryer as it works even better with the heat ....... it will work 4X as well !
Use Cheap PRELL Shampoo or the cheapest lousiest shampoo you can find under the sink to remove your old dull hair color .........then when you have a nice clean faded BASE.............
Use one of 2 Hair Colors either ............SCHWARTZKOPF IGORA ROYAL or ESSENSITY..........both add so much Shine or
Wella ILLUMINA ..........this line works great as well but focus' on Level 5 thru 10 ONLY!

it is about the toughest project you can take on in Hair Color - there almost always is one "Hair-Color-Correction Specialist in every town. But I have taught thousands of people to strip and re-color your hair...............
Stripping is what is so important to the Re-coloring portion of the process.

This is my favorite packet for Strip and Re-Coloring the hair, if you truly cannot afford VANISH

The Color Correction particular packet is used for a multitude of applications, let me pin-point the important ones:

old hair-color removal
mistake's in hair color
Shampoo Train step
Prepping hair for NEW color
Remove 'many' of various Krazy Kolor brands
removes chlorine, metals, build-up - prior to coloring ANY color

As the title says it helps Correct hair color mistakes...sometimes not completely... but it loosens the molecules in your attempt to remove hair color undesired. I have been using these packets for 15 years, they make such a difference in both coloring results AND in the health of your hair....they are very reasonably priced and we include a Cap with ours free of charge ... they work much better if used with cap - the cap helps generate heat on the head for optimum results. This tip and trick has been kept hush-hush for many years, from the head Colorists at V.Sassoon. The difference it makes in the coloring of your hair is wonderful. You may use this packet as well as any in the Malibu 2000 line to keep the metals & gunk in all water now, out of your hair. Many people love the light and clean feeling of their hair. Try one, you'll see.
The Shampoo Train is my little cute (effective) trick for helping change hair colors semi-often. Depending on the procedure of course, and I remind you - everyone is different. The SHAMPOO TRAIN goes like this :
Purchase or use that one bottle of sulfate-shampoo you have hiding in your cupboard or you purchase one at the drug/grocery store.. You are only using it for this one process so there is nothing to worry about. Then as frequently as you can : shampoo the hair ferociously (not scalp - just hair strands!) -- being sure to spend 4-5 minutes -- scrub - scrub - scrubbing ! ! scrub the hair in your hands with a back & forth scrubbing action - like a washboard almost. The last step is to either:

leave the shampoo on the hair for 30-45 minutes with a cap or
if you are really trying to have it work fast... you will need the heat of a Hair Dryer... and dry it for 15-20 minutes.
Now you may do this procedure 4-5 times in one day or over the course of 1-2-3 weeks - its all completely up to you and how big your project is. ..... and all these applications are why the "train' reference.......... as it just keeps going and going !
This is the description of the most radical Shampoo Train - - then you may condense it down to your situation ! OK? Get it? Questions? Use the FEEDBACK buttons in the store.

Now, the most inexpensive/compact version of a blow dryer was this little Dryer system you see ( click it to purchase).....They come in silver & black -- so don't expect any particular color.....but they last a long time and work well for this and a multitude of things. * dry velcro curlers * deep condition with Thriven or you deep conditioner * Hot Oil Treatment with Gleam * Heat up your hamburger !! j/k......you watch all the reasons you find for this! . . .

Everyone tells me they love it - - - we carry this great compact version in the store for this and for deep conditioning which you should do when completed with this entire procedure PLUS use INTENSIVE to save the pH. This contraption turns a blow dryer into a hood dryer - they fly out of here because they work for a multitude of hair applications. After that you shampoo. What this does is loosen the color molecules that are lodged in your hair.
OR... If you are having problems lightening a color a little that way ...then you next add this Color Correction packet, do the complete application as stated on the packet....then the shampoo train -- then the Color Correction packet -- and back to the Train and on and on.... one then the other... and for the perfect Color Removal process you would Shampoo Train for a few days in a week ....Isn't it funny... so many of us color our hair and do everything possible to get it to stick and stay in the hair.. now here we are trying to get that same color out ! !
The advantages of the Shampoo Train procedure are :

lessens the amount of Vanish you have to use
Most Gentle method of shaking up molecules you plan to remove
Boxed hair Color can be next to impossible to remove, this helps the process not cost so much.

So, if you need to do the most 'thrifty process' available buy 1-2 packets of Color Correction, hop on the Shampoo Train and follow that.....and you will be well on your way to new hair color !
