Vitamin C for Fading your Hair Color

As you already probably know, I'm on my way to silver hair but to achieve that I first need to fade the leftover color I have and over the years I've found that this is one of the most effective and less damaging ways to do it. It's also really easy to do.

You'll need:
  • Vitamin C pills or powder.
  • Dish Soap.
  • A Container.
I got some really cheap ones that have Rose Hip extract in them. I used about 12.
Grab the container and put the pills in there, then smash them, you can use a spoon, I used a wood utensil. You can also put them in a sandwich bag and smash them there.
Make sure you're left with a powder and no remainder bits of pill.


Then pour enough dish soap to make a paste and stir,  my hair is just below my shoulders so I used about half a cup of soap.



Then mix it and apply it on the hair you want to fade, for me it was from middle to ends because my roots are my natural color.
Let it sit for 2 hours or so and then rinse it out. It's always important to condition afterwards because this can dry your hair quite a bit. You may have to do it more than once to remove the dye, because some dyes are more stubborn but the vitamin c will remove most of it. Remember not to do it more than twice a week because it can dry your hair, so be careful.

Let me know if you tried this and what you think!
