Dark Hair Color

• Going dark is a look that can work very well for some people, but it can be something that is just too dramatic for others. What makes it worse is that black and other very dark hair color penetrate deep into the hair and can be tough to eliminate. It is usually best to try and strip unwanted color from the hair within a day or so before it has time to set.
  
  Dandruff shampoo is a product found in many households because someone wants to get rid of those unsightly white flakes, but according to Mammalhair.com it can also strip dark hair dye and help fade it.
  
  Anti-residue shampoos such as Neutrogena can also help strip black hair dye if left on overnight and washed out in the morning. It is recommended that the hair be drenched in hot olive oil for 2 hours and re-washed with an anti-residue shampoo again to minimize damage. Dishwashing soaps, such as Dawn, are also competent black dye strippers.
  
  

Baking Soda

• Hair color fades when the buildup is stripped away, and one way to remove excess buildup on the hair is to use baking soda, according to Myhomeremedies.com. Just mix baking soda with your regular shampoo--probably a clarifying shampoo will work the best--and rinse out the residue along with some of the color. This will strip down the color to something you can hopefully deal with. To make sure you have enough baking soda in the shampoo, make sure it is gritty but not to the point that you are putting a paste on your hair.
  
  

Fried, Green and Tomato

• Tomato juice is helpful for another kind of color change in the hair. Sometimes chlorine or other bleaching chemicals found in hair colors can make the hair get a green tint instead of the stunning blonde you may be going for. This is a common hair color nightmare, and something as simple as tomato juice can help get rid of it, according to Haircoloringguide.com. The actual color of the red juice is what will neutralize the green. Be careful to cover any clothing as this juice will not only help with your hair color, but it will also make nasty stains on your clothes.
