Developlus Color Oops Hair Color Remover

Follow the instructions & See the results

My original intentions were to lighten up my color from a very dark brown to something that I could dye over to make it just a bit lighter. After reading a painstaking amount of reviews (and some horror stories) on this stuff, I finally decided to take the plunge and buy it. And I have to say, I'm happy I did. I will admit that the process is NOT fun. When you put this on your hair, be warned, it is extremely watery. Wear old clothes, wrap a towel around you, just do something because it's going to drip. Along with that, you kind of have to work fast. I have longer hair, but it's pretty thin so I only used one bottle. I saw a lot of people that complained about the smell. I won't lie. It isn't pleasant. It starts off as this really strong chemical smell, and then the sulfur kicks in while its sitting in your hair. Its definitely not unbearable, though. I let it sit in my hair for the recommended 20 minutes and then I went to rinse. This is, by far, the worst part. I shampooed, then rinsed. Shampooed, then rinsed. Repeated that for a total of 40 minutes in the shower. But hey, it does say that the longer you rinse the better the results. After I got out, my hair felt like I'd been sitting in a chlorinated pool for 5 hours. It was pretty dry. But I put in some conditioner and it was pretty much back to normal. I'd say that there wasn't much more damage than if I just died my hair. This is the best part though. After my hair dried, I was just in complete disbelief. It was light brown. The results were so flawless that I don't even want to dye over it. In conclusion, this stuff is relatively cheap and so so so worth it as long as you follow the directions.
