Fairy 24
The Tooth Fairy Legend
In the 1902 J. M. Barrie's novel The Little White Bird, in a chapter about Peter Pan, a story about the origin of fairies appears. Barrie who also created the Tinkerbell character, wrote, "…when the first baby laughed for the first time, its laugh broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies."
Fairies, also known as fays, feys, faerys, faeries and collectively as fae, wee folk and good folk are tiny, humanoid, supernatural creatures. Sometimes winged and often mischievous, in many cultures fairies are also known to possess magical powers. Sometimes the term 'fairy' is used to describe any magical creature, including goblins or gnomes: at other times, the term only describes a specific type of more ethereal creature. Their origins are unclear with some sources describing them as some form of angel, others as a species completely independent of humans or angels while others still believe they represent the spirit of the dead.
Among all the folklore that surrounds fairies, it is difficult to pinpoint exactly when and where the Tooth Fairy legend began. In early Europe, a child's lost baby tooth was usually buried and some believe that the Tooth Fairy evolved from the tooth mouse depicted in "La Bonne Petite Souris" (The Good Little Mouse), an 18th century French language fairy tale. In the tale a mouse changes into a fairy to help a good queen defeat an evil king by hiding under his pillow to torture him and knocking out all his teeth. This combination of ancient intercontinental traditions has evolved into one that in one form or another is present almost worldwide.
For example, in Spanish-speaking countries, the Tooth Fairy is in fact a character called Ratoncito Pérez, a little mouse created around 1894 by the priest Luis Coloma. Coloma was asked to write a tale for eight-year old royal Alfonso XIII, as one of his teeth had fallen out and Ratón Pérez appeared in the tale of the Vain Little Mouse. In Italy also the Tooth Fairy (Fatina) is often substituted by a small mouse and in France this character is called La Petite Souris (the little mouse).
From certain parts of Scotland comes thetradition of the Fairy Mouse: a white fairy rat which purchases the teeth with coins. In some Asian countries, such as India, Korea and Vietnam, when a child loses a tooth the usual custom is that he or she should throw it onto the roof if it came from the lower jaw, or into the space beneath the floor if it came from the upper jaw. While doing this, the child shouts a request for the tooth to be replaced with the tooth of a mouse. This tradition is based on the true fact that the teeth of mice go on growing for their whole life, a characteristic of all rodents. In Japan, a lost upper tooth is thrown to the ground and lower teeth straight up into the air; the idea is that incoming teeth will grow straight.
Regardless of their origins, children the world over have a fascination with the Tooth Fairy and with all types of fairies. From the Cicely Mary Barker Flower Fairies book first published in 1923, to today’s Disney Fairies of Pixie Hollow, fairies have a timeless and universal appeal.

Answer:
You can do one of two things, to remove most of that dye.
1. By using Tide detergent with shampoo

or
2. By shampooing you hair mix with a bit of Dawn.

Here's an example what hair stripping will do to your hair.
It is worst than hair dyes. "I accidentally dyed my hair this awful black, stripped it, and now it is this crunchy crispy mess!"
Hair strippers are chemical treatments which are intended to strip out artificial color pigment with less risk or damage to the hair. The chemicals used are called reducing agents.
Certain 'metal' strippers containing sodium sulphoites are sold for reducing hair dyed with metallic dyes, as these dyes react violently with tint stripper containing hydrogen peroxide-the subsequent reaction may cause so much heat that the hair gets dissolved.
Google hair dyes & cancer also. There are those who tan & smoke all their lives & do not get cancer, but there are those 2nd hand & 3rd hand smoke who do and are currently on oxygen because they can't breath or have cancer. Same with hair dyes.
Here's a new article I found re: henna, which is supposed to be better for you than reg. box dye. It's a good read!

I know hair. I have over 4 decades of hair know-how. I have silky, shiny, soft, smooth very healthy hair down to my knees. Previously damaged by perming & dyeing in the 80's & 90's. I've known people in their 30's whose hair stopped growing from ironing their hair in the 70's.
