A MUM has appealed for help and advice after dyeing her young daughter’s hair bright pink – and discovering the colour won’t budge.
The parent took to a Facebook group to explain that she needed an urgent quick fix ahead of her little girl having to return to school.
She uploaded two photos to FAMILY LOCKDOWN TIPS & IDEAS – one of when she first put the hair chalk on her daughter’s blonde hair and another where it has faded slightly, but not enough.
The mum then wrote: “Advice please! Hair chalk stained my daughter’s hair.
“The pink is not coming out and her hair has to be pink free in January for school.”
The social media user continued to ask: “Is there a way to remove the pink without harsh chemicals?”
She added: “Hairdresser is my very last resort.”
The mum later clarified: “Just want to add that the schools where we are from are extremely strict when it comes to the rules.
“I’m stressed a bit because the hair from the 25th and now is no change (and we washed her hair twice already.”
Luckily, fellow parents were on hand to offer their guidance, with some saying they had been in a similar situation in the past.
One member of the group commented: “Use a clarifying shampoo, she remove the colour.”
A second said something similar, as they wrote: “You can also try Head & Shoulders.
“Leave it on for a few minutes, it’s also meant to strip dyed colour.”
While a third suggested heading to a hairdresser for their top tips.
They said: “If you speak to a hairdresser and ask them what shampoo you could use to strip the colour.
“Otherwise I’d say just wash her hair daily and it will fade.”
Others had less conventional methods up their sleeve – putting forward everything from hair serum to washing up liquid.
One said: “I used hair serum as the hairdresser suggested it when mine wouldn’t come out…
“Rub it on while hair is dry, then use shampoo on it and rinse it.”
A second wrote: “Cover the hair in baby oil, leave for a few minutes and then wash with Head and Shoulders.
“May need to wash twice to get oil out. Baby oil melts a lot of things like this.”
While a third commented: “Baby shampoo – the Johnson and Johnson one.
“Washing up liquid will work but it’ll damage her hair so be prepared to treat it with a really good conditioning treatment.”
