How to remove dye from hair which is designed to ... well, dye, change the color of, alter stuff. And it does it - very well.
Trouble comes when it gets on places you don't want it - like your face, or clothes, or carpet.
Or you decide that the color 'to die for' just did.
There are some commercial products to remove dye from hair, and a few home potions and processes.
Color

Roux
Clean Touch is a gentle formula that removes haircolor from skin and
scalp. Removes excess color from hair ends and assists in removing
stains from clothing.
Home remedies include this one:
Hot Oil treatments, hairspray, shampooing and exposure to water will gradually fade hair dye.
To
remove the last bit of residue or stain on the hair (or to get color
out immediately) make up a small batch of bleach mixture and add it to 2
tablespoons or so of shampoo in a cup. Stir it up.
Shampoo your
hair with this mixture, "kneading" the hair. Start at the roots and work
your way down to the end, and then back up.
You should see the color disappear right before your eyes.
Black hair dye is a special case.
It's
very hard to remove black hair dye from your hair completely,
especially if it's permanent. Better to let it grow out and not bleach
it. Bleaching with chemicals damages the hair it may make it so stretchy
and thin that it comes out in your comb.
Likewise if black hair
dye stains skin or fabric. The best way is to prevent it from staining
in the first place by applying Vaseline around the hairline before
dyeing.
If black hair dye stains fabric then using detergent and water quickly is a good idea - otherwise dry cleaning may be required.
Black
hair dye stains can also be removed by rubbing cigarette ash over the
stained skin, dipping milk in cotton balls and rubbing over the stained
area, rubbing on WD-40 or even nail polish remover or hair spray.
