Does a prolonged solvent soak remove coloring conditioner from the hair (Back2natural for example)?

Does a onged solvent soak remove coloring conditioner from the hair (Back2natural for example)? C22 for example. I actually use Hairdirect's citrus smelling solvent.

I would do a test on a single lock of hair to test.

You should not be soaking the entire system in the solvent, just the areas of the base that need it, and that should just hit the knots and maybe a couple of mm more up the hair shaft, but not the entire length of the hair.

That would need a very specific box that's exactly as wide and has height, so the hair doesn't fold back downwards. Unfortunately don't have that and it's quite soaked, not 100% of it though. Where would I get such a box? With customizable dimensions.

I don't have a box... I just lay the system flat. The C-22 doesn't soak through all of the hair, you are using too much of it.

I find this post very encouraging. He soaked in Autoglym which is probably the harshest of solvents used here, if nooone uses acetone, for 2 weeks and looked the hair under the microscope: no change.
