It was a fun fashion statement, but figuring out how to remove blue hair dye and get that blue tint to go away has presented a challenge.

Instead, each attempt has left you with various shades of faded blue and the frustration that you have no idea of how to get that once dazzling but now tattered blue out of your hair.

How to Get Rid of Blue Hair Dye

Various hair dyes create challenges when removing them. Some are more stubborn than others when it comes to eradicating them. Blue is a color that presents particular difficulties as its dark hues can attach to your strands more securely.

We have analyzed these challenges and have come up with the best ways to get rid of that blue tint in your hair.

1. Bleach Out

For those who require speed, the fastest way to remove blue hair dye is by using bleach. Bleaching essentially strips the color out of your hair.  Yet, this is a tricky method.

While very effective in getting rid of the blue dye from your hair, bleach is a powerful chemical that can cause damage. The most effective way to perform this method is by having it done by a professional stylist who will know how long to leave in the chemical.

If you choose to do this on your own, do so with great care. Purchase a specialty shampoo and follow the instructions carefully. Use a timer, and make sure that you use gloves while handling the bleach. Having a friend to assist you in the process will also be quite helpful.

2. Take Your Time with Clarifying Shampoo

If speed is not a concern, using a clarifying shampoo is an effective method. Clarifying shampoo is designed to remove residue left from dandruff shampoos and scalp build-up on your hair. It is a deeper cleaning than what your general maintenance shampoo provides and is an effective way to remove faded blue hair.
