Vitamin C Tablets For Blue Dye Removal
You can use vitamin C tablets or gel to prepare a mix that helps fade out blue dye from your hair. The citric acid in the vitamin C tablets/gel breaks the hair dye and makes it easy for it to come out of the hair. It works best on semi-permanent dyes and lightens the shade with each wash.
How To Do
- Prepare a paste of crushed vitamin C powder with 3 to 4 tablespoons of shampoo.
- Apply this paste on damp hair and cover it with a shower cap.
- Leave the paste on your hair for about 20 minutes and wash it off with lukewarm water.
- Apply conditioner to moisturize your hair.

Why Is Blue Hair Dye Hard To Remove?
Many hair stylists report blue hair dye to be one of the most stubborn colors to remove. This may be due to its smaller molecules that deposit darker pigments on the hair shaft. Moreover, naturally dark hair requires bleaching before dyeing for a vibrant blue finish. This not only makes the pigments adhere to the hair shaft more stubbornly, but the vibrancy also does not last long and the blue dye starts fading into a dull green, blue, or gray depending on the base pigment of the dye. The only way to remedy this is to re-dye the hair blue or bleach it. Do note that bleaching your hair less than three weeks after a previous bleach, color, or chemical treatment is not healthy for your hair. However, in case of an emergency, follow the steps in the next section to bleach out blue dye from your hair.
