Description

Color Oops Extra Strength Hair Color Remover is the safest and most effective way to reverse an undesirable hair color application in just 20 minutes! Color Oops corrects your hair color by shrinking the dye molecules, allowing you to simply wash them away.
Our unique formula is bleach-free and ammonia-free; Color Oops will not have the damaging effects of bleach or ammonia based products. Color Oops Extra Strength is formulated to remove the most difficult colors and color build-up, yet gentle enough that you can re-color your hair the same day.

Color Oops Extra Strength removes artificial color from hair that has become too dark. For instance: if your hair was blonde and you applied a brown color that is too dark, Color Oops can be used to get your hair back to a blonde shade.
Color Oops can also be used to remove artificial color from hair that was lightened but became off-tone. For instance: if you have naturally brown hair and used an ash blonde color and your hair is now blonde with a green tint, Color Oops will remove the green tint, but your hair will remain blonde.

Q: I used color oops Mon,& it did not take all the processed color out. It left it an odd orange reddish color. Im trying to go from red to my natural blonde color. How soon can I use color oops again?

submitted by Karen - 9 years ago
  • A: Hi there!!! So this particular product is for lifting color not removing it. For example: my hair is blue right now, if I use this- it will bring my deep blue to a light blue because that is the base of my hair color right now. Just like the red goes orange- because it's the base color for your red hair. As far as when to use it again, I use it same day if needed.

    submitted byListie - 9 years ago
  • A: Color Oops can be used twice in a day but we suggest to wait an additional day. When coloring hair, a mixture of artificial hair color and hydrogen peroxide (oxide/developer) are used to deposit color into the hair. At the same time it is depositing color, the hydrogen peroxide (oxide/developer) can lighten the natural pigment your hair. Therefore, even though you may be coloring darker, your natural pigment may be altered. When color Oops is applied and the artificial color is removed, what is left of your natural color will be exposed. If your natural color was altered, you will see a brassy, red or warm color. In this case, you can re-color to your desired color.

Q: can I use color opps on colored black hair to go to a lighter color

submitted by anle - 11 days ago
  • A: Yes, you can use Color Oops Hair Color Remover to strip away black dye. It works by shrinking the artificial dye molecules so you can wash them out, and it does not contain harsh bleach or ammonia. However, it does not actually "lighten" your hair color; it only removes the artificial black dye. Your hair will likely turn orange or red. Black box dyes are heavily concentrated. After stripping the black, your hair will reveal the underlying brassy pigments.

    Solid product

    I had my hair that cherry wine color for a long time, it was slightly bleached but for the most part the color was applied over top my natural brown hair. I have fairly thick long hair, a couple inches below my shoulders, I ended up needing two boxes. The process is a pain in the butt but was worth it for me and my hair looked healthy afterwards so that was a bonus.

    Didnt work for me

    Been dying my hair red for 6years. Grew it out and chopped super long hair off because I wanted to get rid of the hair dye. Tried to use color Oops on the last 4 inches of red hair and it didn’t work. Followed the instructions to a T and no change.

    If rate it less than 1 star if I could. It did not work at all and my house smelled awful for 2 days after despite opening windows and running the fan. I'm worried about my health and anyone else who buys this. What chemicals are in this? Should be recalled. Disappointed.

    I cant go near my sister anymore

    My sister used this and OMG my nose hairs got burnt off from that smell, i sprayed so much perfume and it still was lingering. On top of that, it made her hair a literal swamp, it turned an ugly green with a terrible rotten smell. If you go near her, it’s like someone left an egg sandwich out in the sun for a few days.

    DO NOT BUY NO MATTER WHAT.

    HORRIBLE. would give 0 stars if i could. my hair was a faded purple before use, and a bleach yellow before i dyed it. this product made my hair GREEN AND BLUE. not only this, it STANK UP THE HOUSE SO MUCH. i used it last night and the entire house still stinks like dog poop and cheese. i washed my hair 4 times yesterday and it still smells. my friends all quarantined themselves away from me because of the stench. 0/100, would NEVER use ever again. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. i still stink as i’m writing this, heading to sally’s to try and salvage this disaster.

    The worst smell I’ve smelt EVER.

    Dyed my friends hair and it literally turned it blue and green. It was purple before. Also the smell was absolutely ATROCIOUS. Literally smelled dog poo, rotten egg, century old cheese and broccoli. She has washed her hair like 10x already and it still stinks. The whole upstairs smells and it gets worse every time you move. Would NOT recommend

    Disappointed.

    It touched some of the dye in my hair but after all of the effort of rinsing for 20 minutes mostly what it did was make my hair smell terrible. Would not recommend.

    Not what i hoped for

    Definitely didn’t achieve the results I hoped for. The top of my head lightened quite a bit while the rest of my hair is still pretty dark. Not sure why there is a dramatic difference. The smell was strong but I washed my hair so many times that the smell went away. I have been using boxed dye for about 4 years but I think I will need a professional to fix this mess.
    1 reply from Support Team team - 2 months ago
    Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am so sorry to hear that the results didn't meet your expectations and that you’re dealing with uneven color. Achieving an even lift can be challenging when there is a significant amount of existing box dye, as the new growth at the roots often lightens much faster than the older pigment on the ends. We also apologize for the strong scent you experienced; while we strive for the best sensory experience, some high-performance formulas do have a lingering odor. We want to make this right. Please reach out to us directly at info@developlus.com so we can discuss the best next steps for your hair's health. We value your business and hope to help you find a solution.

    Product Smells Horrible

    Whatever you do, do not buy this product. The formula was for starters way too runny. It also smelled like rotten eggs. It's been a week and my hair still smells like rotten eggs. I've been washing it multiple times every day, but it will not go away. The product did work well, however other products work just as well as this if not better, plus they also won't ruin the smell of your hair.

    Wasted money

    Tried using this for the first time and it didn't work at all. Did as instructed and even rinsed my hair for 35 min and there is no change as the color is still there. Won't try this product ever again as it just wasted my money.
