I used to use dish soap in high school to strip out hair product
(gel, hairspray, etc). It works WONDERS on getting that goo out. But
you do have to condition- it strips every little bit of your hair's
natural oil.
If I were to do that today, being the hippy I have grown into, I
would positively use a natural dish soap and Jojoba oil to
condition. Most dish soaps use sodium lauryl sulfate- a normal
cleaning agent which is very rough on hair and skin but does wonders
to the soap scum in my tub. I have since sworn off SLS in my
shampoos and usualy resort to the coconut based SLS for cleaners.
Will it work for hair dye? Possibly. I have never used it for such-
I can only vouch for its ability to get out layers of hairspray
required for a play or 80's hair.

then
