Hi, I am also new here, I used Colour B4 last week and it didn't remove any colour from my hair, it made it feel very dry afterwards: I have been dying my hair with Dark Red permanent hair colour (L'oreal Feria etc) for 5 years (before that I was jet blue/black for 2 years), my natural colour is a dark mousey ash blonde. I have got greys coming thru now so wanted to go lighter also I was looking washed out from a long illness I had not used a hair colour for 5 months and had 3 inches of natural coloured regrowth and faded dark red on the rest of the length (I have long hair). I saw colour B4 and had a good read-up so decided to give it a go, it didn't work, dried my hair out and then a friend tried bleaching the colour out - ended up with bright blonde at the top and a horrid orange on the lengths - not a nice look, nothing will budge the red feria out. I have ended up using a semi-perm dark maple blonde and it's evened out the colour, it is still a bit gingerish for my liking but some people say its a honey blonde.
I guess a lesson can be learnt - once you darken you're hair with a permanent its not easy to reverse - what had annoyed me with the colour B4 was that it claims to fix the problem on the carton but in very small print on the enclosed leaflet says "some red colourants may not be entirely removed as they can stain the hair" I decided to use it anyway - but I think this warning should be on the outside of the box and be worded more strongly. I am going to write to them and complain - hopefully I will get my �12 back.
I think Colour B4 may work best in the first 72 hours after colouring - I read somewhere this is the time the color takes to adhere and fix into your hair.
