After the stripping of the hair is achieved the person will most likely need to redye the hair with another type of dye to go over the areas that weren't stripped all the way.

There are some products out there that might take a bit of the coloring out. Going to a local beauty supply shop should know what options are available and what type of product will help see the best results for the hair dye.
