I have died my hair since I was 16 and I'm now 54, so I know a little bit about hair dye. I'm letting the gray come in naturally and trying to get rid of my existing hair dye. I used dish washing detergent to wash out the hair dye, which left me with this darken, dead color on the tips of my hair. I was just about to remove all the hair color and start over, when I read the suggestion for the Vitamin C mixed in to your shampoo. I took (6) 500 mg of Vitamin C tablets and crushed them to a powder, adding the powder to a quarter size of shampoo. I mixed the two together until it made a paste. I applied the mixture to my hair and let it sit for 60 minutes. When I washed the paste away, my hair looked FABULOUS!! That flat color on the ends was gone and my hair is beautiful. I can't believe this cure all hasn't been made public before. Thanks for the information!!
I have naturally blonde hair, and have turned it darker colors in the past.

Thanks to all of you who wrote about crushing Vitamin C and mixing it with shampoo, that worked great without making my hair dry. I had my hair colored and it was bright red (was supposed to just have auburn highlights). Anyway, I washed it 30 times with Head and Shoulders and Pert, with no real change. I then found this site and crushed 4 (500mg) Vitamin C tabs with about a teaspoon of Pert, lathered it into my hair and left it on for 45 minutes. It came out great. Thanks to ALL who suggested this. Now I won't look like Lucille Ball for Thanksgiving.

Thank you sooo much for posting this! I dyed my red hair with blond highlights (done professionally) light auburn and it was horrible!! I crushed 3-1000 mg vitamin C tablets and mixed with Dawn dishwashing soap. Wet my hair with the hotest water I could take, lathered it into my hair and left the mixture on for 1 hour. I washed and treated my hair with good conditioner. I could not believe my eyes when I blow dried my air! It is a beautiful soft redish blond! Thank you again!!! Happy red head!!:)
