Bleaching your hair strips it of it's natural color, so no it will never go back to the original color. You can only dye the bleached hair back to your original color, or cut the bleached hair off and grow your natural hair back.
Damage Repair: While bleached hair won't return to its original thickness immediately, with proper care, it can improve over time. Regular trims, moisturizing treatments, and protein-rich products can help restore some strength and fullness.
When hair is bleached, the natural pigment (melanin) is removed, which can result in a lighter or even yellowish tone. The hair itself won't regain its original color once it has been bleached. However, over time, new hair growth will come in with its natural color, while the bleached hair will remain lighter.
Opt for a Toning Shampoo
They are designed to neutralise any unwanted orange, yellow or green tints that have been left by the bleach, so if that's what you're struggling with, it's definitely worth a try. You can even use it if you have redyed your hair a darker colour and still aren't 100% happy.
Blue and purple shampoos neutralise unwanted brassy tones to reveal a cooler blonde or light brown shade.
Are there natural remedies to prevent or reverse from graying? So far, there are no natural remedies that can slow down the hair-graying process. The best thing you can do is to stay healthy, eat a well-rounded diet, and lower your stress levels as much as possible.
Once you bleach your hair, there is no way to remove bleach. I would highly suggest that you see a hair professional (stylist or colorist) near you. Tell them what you have done and what you would like to change. This is not a quick fix.
Baking soda can be an effective way to remove permanent hair dye naturally because of its lightening properties. Try mixing baking soda with lemon juice, which is acidic, to create a paste. Then, work the paste through your hair, allow it to sit for five minutes, and rinse thoroughly.
Yes, but if you dying it more than 2 levels darker you may need to use a filler. Filler is a color that replaces the underlying pigment in the hair.
As long as the hair follicle is preserved, the hair will regrow in most cases. Bleached hair will regrow at the same rate as other forms of damaged hair, which in a healthy growth cycle is typically between 6-12 months.
On average, hair grows about half an inch per month. Therefore, it can take several months to years to grow out bleached hair, depending on your hair length and growth rate.
In comparison to other dyes, hair bleaching is a permanent process which cannot be washed away over time. This is because the melanin, which gives your hair its colour, is stripped away from the hair during the bleaching process.
Once you have processed or color-treated hair, it can never go back to being virgin. That's right, once you've dyed your hair, even just once, you lose your virgin strands forever. Virgin hair is a hair colorist's dream because it's also much easier to color hair that doesn't already have dye on it.
Use a clarifying shampoo
If you need to remove hair dye fast, reach for a clarifying or anti-dandruff shampoo. These are like a deep cleanse for your hair. The harsh chemicals in these shampoos will strip your hair of color. They work by stripping away not just dirt and oil, but also any unwanted hair dye.
A review of research suggests that proper supplementation may reverse premature graying in those who are deficient in certain nutrients, including iron, vitamin D, and vitamin B12. However, even though some supplements are specifically sold as “anti-graying,” there aren't any studies that prove they work.
If you want to dye your bleached hair considerably darker, such as to dark blonde (colour level 7) or darker, pre-pigment your hair first. This is because the red pigments have been permanently removed by bleaching. You need enough warm pigment in your hair to achieve a beautiful darker colour.
Bleaching changes the structure of your hair, so the bleach won't fade or “wear off” of your hair. However, the bleached part of your hair will eventually grow out. Once it gets long enough, you can cut off the bleached sections and leave behind just the new, unbleached hair.
Try imagining a straight diagonal line from your current color to the other end of the wheel to figure out what color toner to use. If your lousy bleach job has come out more yellow, you'll need a purple toner. Purple shampoo can help neutralize the yellow. If your hair is orange, you'll need a blue toner.
