A hairdresser might be able to help with removing the dye but that might mean more chemicals.

My DM bought herself a wig, had her hair cut very short and just let her dyed hair gradually grow out until, eventually, she emerged with a lovely head of white hair!

If she can’t use any dyes etc then maybe get it cut shorter while it grows out and keep trimming till the brown is gone. Both my daughters did this during covid, they both had long hair and didn’t want to cut it only a trim every 8 wks. It took over 2 yrs of grinning and bearing it. But put up in a messy bun or a clip it wasn’t too bad. Now they are very happy being grey ladies and get lots of compliments.

Friend has successfully dyed her lovely curley hair for years. It is a darkish brown colour but her hair is white. Suddenly a hair dye she has used without any problems caused a terrible rash all over her body. She does this at home.The doctor said it was an allergy and prescribed medication which is working.However she has now to avoid hair dye and is faced with how to revert to her natural white colour. She has thought of doing this before but the growing out process would be difficult as her hair, which is lovely, is so Curley it appears to be shorter than it is which is shoulder length. She wants to avoid any other dyes as another episode is dangerous. Has anyone else had this happen to them and has any ideas to make the growing out easier.
