Amazed by decolour remover / do another one?

Wasn't sure if I should've posted this in the ColourB4 topic.. sorry if I should have!

So I got my decolour remover a few days ago. Wasn't going to use it until after my grandparents 60 year marriage party, but I was sooooooo so so done with the black. So today I clarified and used one of the boxes and I'm amazed by the result. Maybe it worked so well because it was permanent dye? It didn't really touch the pink in the front (not that I wanted it to).

I started with this :


(also showing my self made crochet hat  ;D )

And it turned out like this :

It was a mix of blues, purples and pink underneath, so I'm quite pleased.

So my question is.. I have another box of decolour remover since I bought two. Should/can I do another one tomorrow? I know it says you can use it straight away, but I figured I'd ask. And should I do another clarifying wash before using it again? Or should I wait, I dun't know, a few days before using again?

And how soon after I've used this colour remover can I dye over it with a semi?

Thanks. πŸ™‚

I do them straight after each other when I use them, clarifying in between each. It works well for me.

You can use a semi straight after, just not anything with peroxide.

I'm surprised at how well that has come out! It looks good, are you going blue jade next or another colour?

Thank you! I'll see if I feel like taking showers again, haha, otherwise I'll do another one tomorrow. πŸ™‚

Depending on what I end up with I'll either use cc blue jade or maybe directions alpine green or maybe cc emerald green or maybe directions carnation pink. Or maybe even cc violette or diluted directions plum. We'll see. As long as it's no longer black it's good. ;D

But over this current base, I think cc blue jade will be muddy or not take. So I'll definitely have to do another round before I can see what would cover. πŸ™‚

When removing black/dark colour i found the best way was to space the colour removers out and use regular fading methods in between. No reason not to use straight away though as long as your scalp isn't too dry.

I did it! And it's much lighter than before. πŸ˜€ My scalp didn't like it, it's a bit itchy now, but I wanted to have pretty hair again by friday, because that's my birthday. πŸ™‚ It's bluegreenish and ashy at the bottom and a bit pinky still at the top. I don't think a blue would cover the pink, I think a green would go mud. So what are my options? Pink and purple?

Unfortunately I'm not that skilled at dying roots one colour and end another, so dual toned hair isn't really an option.

It's also really hard to get a good pic of.

Edit : totally forgot to say thanks for the advice!
