Scott Cornwall Colour B4 review

This post is following on from my last hair faux pas regarding a purple dip dye kit and my poor judgement, if you haven't already read that one, or would like to remind yourself of my idiocy, I'll link that here. On with the show!

As I was writing my last post wearing foils, I thought it would be only right to let you know how I got on with that. The product that I was using was Scott Cornwall's Colour B4 which is basically a bleach and ammonia free product that works to lift the colour particles from you hair, restoring you to your natural colour. I'd read some reviews and women were complaining it made them lighter than they were before, but I figured if it removed half of the purple/lilac/mess on my hair then I'd give it a shot, plus I was light before (from pre-lightener, see previous post) so it made no difference to me.

The only real issue I have with this product is how time consuming it is. There are 3 stages, one the usual sit in a foil and "cook" stage, one buff - which removes the colour particles from your hair, and the final stage of a regular rinse with the buffing product from before. 

The box does indicate that if the colour is deep then it will take a few more washes to get the body of it off, with the regular strength, or they do offer and stronger mix, but I couldn't find that one, so a "cook, buff, rinse and repeat" was on the cards for me.

I am pretty pleased with the outcome if I'm honest, aside from the products HORRIFIC smell, it did take the colour out of my hair, granted not all of it, but it left me with something I can work with, and after a rest period, fix.

I am aware that there is a still slightly blue/lilac tinge to my hair but as I said before, I think I can rock this. The remainder of the dye is actually rinsing out with every regular wash of my hair (fading as any dye would). I'm really quite impressed with this product, it may not be perfect, but my hair is healthy, no damage in sight and a much more bearable colour. Overall a very exciting experience, however I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with a heart condition, hair accidents can be VERY stressful. One day I'll learn to think before I dye but not right now, where's the fun in that?!
