All You Need to Know About Colour Undo

colour undo

Colour Undo is a professional hair colour remover system that's designed to make colour correction safe and straightforward for both stylists and clients. Powered by advanced scientific innovation, this vegan-friendly formula removes every type of artificial pigment* while preserving the hair’s natural softness, shine and condition, and enables you to re-colour the same day.

Colour Undo works seamlessly alongside all major salon and high‑street colour brands*, making it a versatile essential for every stylist. Whether you’re dialling back over‑toned highlights, fixing at‑home colour mishaps or preparing a clean base for a new shade, it delivers reliable, controlled results. Free from bleach and ammonia, it does not lift the hair's natural depth or tone virgin hair, and enables you to re-colour the same day. *Do not use on bleached or Henna colour, including plant and herbal based.

Colour Undo Before and After: How to use Colour Undo

Step One

Mix equal amounts of the Activator and Remover (approximately 50ml of each) using the measuring bottles provided in your pack.

Step Two

Saturate the mixture onto dry hair using a tint bowl and brush, making sure that the hair doesn’t dry out after application. Cover it with a plastic head cap. To protect your client’s face from the liquid, put a halo of cotton wool around the hairline. Leave the mixture to develop for up to 60 minutes or to your client’s desired result (this could be done within 10 minutes).

Step Three

Rinse your client’s hair thoroughly with warm water for 5 minutes and then apply approximately 25ml of the Buffer. Work to a lather and leave in the hair for 1 minute. Rinse once again with warm water for another 5 minutes.

Step Four

Apply a further 25ml of the Buffer and again work to a lather. Leave for 1 minute and then do a final rinse with warm water for 5 minutes. The Colour Undo process is then complete.

How Does Colour Undo Work?

Colour Undo before and after image

Colour Undo works by reversing the hair colouring process. A permanent hair colour works by depositing small artificial pigment molecules inside the hair. When mixed and applied to the hair, Colour Undo shrinks the artificial colour molecules back to their original size. Once the hair has been rinsed and buffered, the shrunk molecules can be rinsed out from the hair without fear of re-oxidation, (the colour molecules re-expanding.) This will reveal the lightest, previous shade. This shade may be lighter than the natural hair colour, as bleach and ammonia from previous colour treatments may have lightened the natural pigment.

Remove Hair Colour Easily with Colour Undo

Colour Undo is a game-changer for hairdressers. It safely removes previous hair colour* without the use of bleach or ammonia while allowing you to re-colour your client's hair the same day. Trusted by more than 40,000 professionals across the UK and Europe, Colour Undo is fast becoming a must‑have for salons and independent hairdressers alike. *Please note that Colour Undo does not work on direct or temporary dyes such as Crazy Color.
