Clarifying shampoo can start to fade hair dye after just one use, but completely removing hair dye may take several washes, depending on the type of dye and the health of your hair. Typically, it might take 3 to 5 washes over a few weeks for noticeable fading. However, for semi-permanent dyes, the effect can be quicker. Clarifying shampoos are designed to remove buildup, so they strip color faster than regular shampoos. Always follow with a conditioning treatment to maintain hair health.
