I thought those cheap color removers from the beauty supply store were a total scam.

A client came in with a box dye disaster, her hair was this weird orange from a black dye job. I grabbed a $5 color remover packet as a last try before a full bleach. It actually pulled most of the pigment out in 20 minutes, left her hair in way better shape than I expected. Now I keep a few on hand for corrections. Has anyone else found a budget product that actually works for color correction?

That one time it fried my cousin's hair to a crisp.

Was that from a home perm kit? Those old ones were brutal, @the_adam. I can still smell the burnt hair smell from my aunt's kitchen disaster. Some memories stick with you for all the wrong reasons.

Wait, to a crisp? Like actually crispy? That's way worse than just a bad perm.
