I recently tried Color Prep from Color Oops as I have been colouring my hair for years (mostly dark brunette shades) and as happens, I had a lot of build up of old colour, especially in the ends. This product is designed to break down and basically rinse out old color so that you have a fresher starting point. So does it work?

Well let me preface this by saying, if you have years of colour build up, this isn't going to work miracles. You probably aren't going to get right back to your natural colour. If you are using this on hair that has been coloured only a few times I suspect you are going to get a great result. Having said that, it DID remove a good amount of my old colour; enough that I was at least starting again from a point where the shades from root to tip were not so greatly different as before I used the product.

The product is super easy to use. You just put it on, pop on the cap (it works best in a warmer room/environment) and wait the appropriate time. Rinse it out and you are ready to re-colour!
