Benefits of Using Hair Dye Shampoos
Convenience and Ease of Use
Unlike other hair dye techniques, it is very easy to use them. They do not require any special instruments or tools for application. Rather, you can use them simply by wearing gloves. This feature makes their use very convenient for us.
Cost Effective and Time Saving
Nowadays, the most common hair dye treatments are highlights, lowlights, balayage, and full color. You have to go to saloons for them and they charge you a high cost for them. In contrast, this is a budget friendly option for all of us.
These shampoos also save our time because there is no need to go to salons. You can easily color your hair at home.
Gray or White Hair Coverage
All of us face hair greying issues after a certain age. And it is necessary to hide them for a younger look. These shampoos work effectively for this purpose. You can use them to give any desired color to your hair like black or dark brown.
Gentle on Hair and Scalp
Although most hair dye shampoos contain harsh chemical ingredients like ammonia, sulfates, and artificial fragrances. But some are especially formulated with herbal formulas. Their natural ingredients include argan oil, coconut oil, aloe vera, and others. They have gentle effects on our scalp and cleanse it without any side effects.
Long Lasting Results
Commonly, hair dye colors do not last for a long period. So you need frequent touch-ups for maintenance of your hair color. But these shampoos give long lasting results comparatively. You can spend two to four weeks easily by using them.
How to Use Hair Color Shampoo – Step by Step
As I have mentioned earlier, it is very easy to use them. Follow the given steps to get the best results.
- First of all, carefully read the product manual to get complete information about the product. Wash and dry your hair. Mostly they are applied to dry hair. But some are also applied to wet hair. So, verify it from the guidelines in the manual.
- Now comb your hair to remove the knots. And wear the gloves on your hands to avoid stains.
- Take the required amount of shampoo on your hands and massage it on your scalp. Run your fingers through your hair to access the hair roots. Ensure full and even coverage especially if you are covering grey hair.
- Wait for at least 5 to 10 minutes and then wash your hair with water until clear water runs from your hair. The longer you leave it on your hair, the better the results will be. So try to wait 20 to 25 minutes for maximum results.

How to Remove Hair Color Shampoo from Hair?
Sometimes people dye their hair without proper research and they do not like their colored hair. Now they want to remove the hair color without bleaching it. In my opinion, it would be best to go to a salon and seek the help of some professional. But still, I am giving you some DIY tips and tricks for this purpose.
Baking Soda Paste
Make a paste of baking powder with water. It is the safest option for all hair types without any side effects. Apply a paste on your scalp, massage gently and wash your hair with water. It might take a longer time, but is a very effective solution for semi-permanent dyes.
Vinegar or Lemon Rinse
You can also try lemon rinse juice or apple cider vinegar. Their acidic component help us to remove the hair dyes. Take one part of vinegar with two parts of water and use it on your hair after shampoo. Leave your hair for some time and then wash it.
Clarifying Shampoo
Use a clarifying shampoo for some days. Its harsh chemicals will remove the hair color from your hair along with dirt and oil. You can use a conditioner after it to restore the natural shine.
Strippes or Hair Color Removers
The last options include hair color removers or strippers. Go to salons to avoid any further issues with your hair color. Otherwise, you can buy them online or from pharmacies. The most commonly used are Color Oops hair remover and sulfur based hair strippers.

And you can easily choose the best option available in Pakistan. But choose a brand that suits your hair type and needs.
