To lighten dyed hair, with 5/6 washes, using an anti-dandruff shampoo with a tablespoon of baking soda can make the color lighter. You can also try with oil and vinegar for less immediate but effective results. If these methods don’t work, professional products or a lightening mask can be solutions.
