There are several hair color removal products available in the market today.

Before you call, keep the box or brochure handy as they will need information before they can help you.

Deep condition your hair well after the henna has been completely removed. This will help bring back the moisture in the hair.
Popping a hair vitamin pill will enhance hair color repair. It helps maximize your hair growth rate. Also, it will help you grow healthy new strands thereby leaving bad color behind.
