first i tryed bleach which after 15 min. did not work...http://thumbs.webshots.com/sym/na3/2/59/39/78325939cEdaeu_th.jpg
then i tryed RIT COLOR REMOVER

after bring the water to a boil i turned the temp down to bring the water to a simer and then added the remover (which smelled god aweful) then droped in the head

i let it sit for about 20 min. to get as much dye off as i could

after i saw that the dye was no longer fading i took it out of the pot and let it sit to cool the end result was a much lighter color than befor

so in the end u can see that the dye remover worked to a certain degree... so the answer to the question "can u remove dye from a head? and if so how?" is yes to a certain degree and with RIT COLOR REMOVER... but if u have dark colors, in my case green, it will only make it lighter but a lot lighter and if u have colors like yellows or other light colors it will almost compleatly come off

so guys i hope that helps u in future dying and keep laxin' :agree

[bigDman]

well it wont go back to its orgnial color but know you can die pretty mcuch any color over it

[Stopper22]

thats some good info man! thanks :agree

[lizlax22]

so guys what do u think... is this useful? and should i continue to do things like thins? some feed back would be great help!

[Dpolelax]

yeah keep it up. this kind of stuff helps a lot and the pictures are great for reference.

yea i like this, it's a great thing to know about this sort of stuff... i just wish the pics were slightly larger... the limit is 100000 bytes and you only used 1170... so if you could, that'd be awesome!

[Stopper22]

yes this si a good help. Perhaps you coukd make a simple webpage to deminstate this stuff better, so you have more room. But this works good also!

well the pics in full size take up the whole page and i can't cut em down so i have to leave them as thumnails... and the site will only allow me to put one pic on ate once

[Stopper22]

this setup is fine i like it alot its a great idea! i know ive learned something that i didnt knwo b4.

[Dpolelax]

hey stoppers idea may work. if you could put it on a site and then give us the link.....

[lizlax22]

[Dpolelax]
