 We’re big fans of Mirella Manelli @mirellamanelli and all the spot-on education she shares.  She is one of our MODERN SALON 100 from 2019, artists whose work inspires us and our community.

This post about removing black hair color is always timely because the process can be so time-consuming and needs to be explained to a client. Whether it was the result of an in-salon service or the black color came from a client doing some at-home experimentation (and no shame or blame, especially in a COVID-19 world), we know that those black color molecules are stubborn little guys. It's always good to read one expert's solution for kicking them out of the hair strand.

Here are Manelli’s instructions and formulas.  And peep the whole video (14 minutes) above for her thorough process and breakdown.  

How to Remove Black Hair Dye Color Correction

"Show this to your clients who want to be blonde from black hair dye,” Mirella shares. “This is the process: black dye to maybe orange to maybe a light brown. You will not be blonde in one session unless you plan on cutting it, a lot... or leaving the salon with spaghetti hair.”

Removing Black Dye: 10 hours, 2 days, and $1000 (estimate)

STEP ONE: "After doing the strand test I went in with Rusk Hair Care Elim8 color remover. This gave me a great canvas to start with so I could go in with my final arsenal."

STEP TWO: Babylights and microslices with Matrix Lightmaster 20vol into 30vol.

STEP THREE: Lifted to level 9 at top and orange levels 7/8 on mids and ends (black hair dye would not budge).
