This one isn’t for lightening your natural color—it’s for fixing a bad dye job. You know, like when you go orange from a box dye.
Crush a few Vitamin C tablets (or buy the powder) and mix it with your shampoo. Lather it onto dry hair and let it sit for an hour. The acidity strips away some of the artificial pigment without bleaching your hair further.
I used this after my Cheeto disaster, and it helped fade the orange to a more wearable strawberry blonde. It’s not perfect, but it’s so much kinder than hitting it with another chemical treatment.
