But everyone’s hair is different, and sometimes hair doesn’t seem to want to lighten. You end up with bleached hair that looks more copper than yellow or white.

Now you’re left all alone trying to figure out how to remove copper tones from bleached hair, but don’t fret. We’ve got your back.

Why Does Bleached Hair Become Copper?

There are so many different shades and pigments in natural brunette hair. In many darker colors, orange and red are common undertones.

So, when bleaching your hair, sometimes the bleach doesn’t lift all the pigment out and you’re left with copper instead of canary yellow or white blonde.

Even if you follow the instructions on your bleach exactly, you can still end up with this issue. Even professional stylists sometimes find it difficult to get their clients’ hair to fully brighten without going copper.

However, if your hair is copper after bleaching it doesn’t mean it’ll stay looking this way forever.

You just need to know how to remove these unwanted copper tones from your bleached hair so you can go blonde without the orange hues showing through.

How to Remove Copper Tones from Bleached Hair Without Causing Damage

Unfortunately, a lot of people just want to bleach their hair again right away, and this will cause a lot of damage to their hair. Instead, take the advice below to try and even out the tones in your tresses.

Neutralize the Color

After you bleach your hair, your cuticles are usually very susceptible to being dyed and toned. So, you can wash your hair with a toned shampoo to try and fade or remove the coppery pigment.

To neutralize copper, you’ll want to find a color that’s the opposite of orange.

Checking out a color wheel will show you that blue and purple sit on the other side of the orange, so get shampoos in these shades.

More yellowy copper tones are best removed from bleached hair with blue-toned shampoo and conditioner. Brassier, orangey copper can be gotten rid of with purple.

Simply give your hair a quick wash and condition with these toned products, and you should find that most of the unwanted pigment lifts.

Sometimes it will take a few washes over the course of a week or 2 to work, but rest assured, neutralizing the color does wonders.

Use an Anti-Brass Treatment

You may be able to find anti-brass cleansers that you can wash your hair with. You apply the treatment when your hair is wet, lather it, and leave it to sit for around a minute.

Rinse it out just as you would if it were regular shampoo, and then use the treatment a couple of times a week.

Washing your hair with this cleanser three times a week works best when you’re waiting to apply your dye over the bleach.

Try Clarifying

If you don’t have an anti-brass cleanser available near you, try a clarifying shampoo instead.

Clarifying shampoos are pretty harsh on your hair, so please be careful not to use too much of it after you’ve bleached your locks.

Using a clarifying shampoo is how you can remove chemicals, oils, and copper tones from bleached hair.

Try not to use clarifying shampoos too often, even on non-bleached hair, though, as they can be damaging if used frequently.

Try a Glaze or Gloss

It can take a while for a hair glaze or gloss to work, but they can help get rid of copper in hair that’s been bleached.

They can also reinforce your desired tone as well as make your hair smooth and shiny.

Glazes and glosses are usually applied after you’ve dyed your hair your desired color, but they can be worn on bleached hair, too.

Using a glaze or gloss is especially a good idea if you don’t apply your dye right after your hair is bleached.

For example, some people’s hair becomes quite damaged from the bleach so you may have to wait a few weeks before the actual dye treatment is applied on top.

Go Dark Again

It’s not always easy to go from dark hair to light. Some natural brunettes find it can take six months to a year before they can go fully blonde.

If you’ve bleached your hair and found it’s come out full of copper tones, then how you can combat it by going dark.

You don’t have to dye your hair as dark as it is naturally. However, a medium to light brunette shade may be best to wear for a couple of weeks.

Wait at least eight weeks before you attempt to bleach your hair again. You might find that this time it has fewer copper tones.

Repeat the process as needed. Essentially, bleach your hair, and go two or three shades lighter with your dye every time.

Eventually, you’ll be able to lighten your hair enough with no coppery tones so you can go icy blonde if you wish.

Try Bleaching Again

Bleaching your hair too many times in a row is incredibly damaging.

You’ll end up with fried hair, split ends, and hair that just breaks off when heat is applied if you try this too often.

However, you can bleach your hair two times in a row without dying in between if you’re careful.

This doesn’t mean you can bleach your hair twice on the same day. No way! You’ll totally fry your strands.

Wait a week, but two weeks would be best, then bleach your hair again. From there you can start working your way towards blonde.

Rinse with Apple Cider Vinegar

If none of the steps above work, and you don’t want to bleach your hair again, then consider apple cider vinegar. It contains acids that can neutralize the copper tones in your hair.

The acids are also good at stripping unwanted pigments such as the orange ones causing your problem.

Wash and condition your hair as you would normally, then rinse it with an apple cider vinegar mixture where it’s 2 cups of water to 1 cup of vinegar.

If you want it to be even more effective, use blue or purple food coloring in the apple cider vinegar mixture to help neutralize the unwanted tones in your hair.

You can repeat this once a week or once every two weeks as needed.

Tips on How to Prevent Bleached Hair Turning Copper Later

If you’ve bleached your hair, it looks fine, and now you have to wait a few days before you can dye it, it may still end up turning copper. There are a couple of things you can do to prevent this from happening.

Avoid Sun Exposure

The sun can easily warm up your bleached hair and it may be how you accidentally bring out copper tones you wish to remove.

Hide your hair up under a hat or a head wrap if you want to go out for long periods in the sun. Also, use a UV protection spray daily.

Filter Your Water

Many people have hard water in their showers. Get a filter for your showerhead to soften the water and remove the minerals that can create an orange hue in your locks.

Don’t Go Swimming

Both chlorine and salt can cause oxidization in your hair. It’ll be even easier for your hair to develop an unwanted color shortly after bleaching.

If you want to go to a swimming pool or have a dip in the ocean, keep your head above water and use a rubber swimming cap.

Don’t Use Heat Styling

If you want to curl your hair, use heatless overnight methods. If you have curly hair and you want to straighten your curls, please avoid doing so as much as you can until you can cover the bleach with dye.

Some heat tools can leave behind orange and yellow tones, especially on bleached tresses.

Luckily there are lots of ways you can learn how to remove copper tones from bleached hair. You should also apply the tips to help prevent the unwanted colors from showing up after your bleaching session.

In a couple of weeks to months, you’ll be able to lift all the undesirable pigment right out and dye your hair the blonde shade you desire.

Unfortunately, whether you’re an all-over blonde or just have a few highlights, blonde and other light tresses can turn brassy.

Below you’ll learn how to remove brassy tones from highlights and prevent them from occurring in the future.

What Creates Brassy Tones in Hair?

When your light highlights come out too warm and brassy, it’s because your hair is oxidized. The bleach used to lighten your hair deposited a color that you don’t want on the strands.

Sometimes it’ll take a few days or weeks before the brassy tones start showing through the dye. In some cases it’s inevitable, but then others, the brassy tones are totally preventable.

How to Remove Brassy Tones from Highlights

Unfortunately, sometimes brass shows up in your locks even if you do your best to prevent it. You’re not out of luck. It’s not too difficult to remove brassy tones from highlights.

Use Purple Shampoo

Brassy colors are usually orange-toned, and purple is the opposite color of orange. Washing your hair in purple-toned products will help neutralize the brass and even out your color.

Look for highly pigmented products, as only slightly tinted products won’t be as effective.

You can use this purple shampoo and conditioner full-time or just once a week for upkeep.

Use Shampoo Formulated for Dyed Hair

Purple shampoos are typically safe to use on colored hair. However, if you don’t want to use purple shampoo, at the very least use a shampoo made for hair that’s been dyed.

Color fades fast if you don’t use shampoos designed to protect and preserve the pigment in your strands.

Asking your stylist to recommend a good shampoo and conditioner for you is always the best bet.

If you’ve dyed your hair at home, then do some solid research before you choose products.

Keep the Water Cool 

Rinsing out your hair with cooler water can help remove and prevent brassy tones from occurring.

It’ll stop your hair from fading and the lack of heat will help you avoid the warm tones you really don’t want in your highlights.

Adding a filter to avoid hard water in the shower will also help prevent brassy tones from showing up in the future.

Use Clarify Wash

If purple shampoo and rinsing with cool water isn’t doing the trick, they consider a clarifying wash.

Clarifying shampoos have tons of sulfate in them. Although this is bad for your regular hair, it’s good when you want to remove brassy tones from highlights.

The sulfate will strip your hair of oils, chemicals, and pigment.

At most you should be clarifying once a month, and use the other methods to prevent unwanted colors the rest of the time.

Look for Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar can be a little less harsh than clarifying shampoo, and it’s often more readily available if you don’t have clarifying shampoo near you.

Mix a cup of apple cider vinegar with 2 cups of water, and use it to rinse out your hair after you’ve shampooed and conditioned normally.

You should do this treatment once every two weeks to make sure it doesn’t harm your hair, but you can do it once a week if the brass is particularly stubborn.

Start from Scratch

Sometimes the unwanted tones in your tresses are just too stubborn, and you need to start from scratch.

Bleach the highlighted parts of your hair, or have your stylist do it for you for best results. Then an ashy toner can be applied to fully remove the warm copper pigments you don’t want in your highlights.

The toner may be applied multiple times before the hair is highlighted again.

Then, follow the preventative measures below to stop the brass from coming back.

How to Prevent Your Highlights from Turning Brassy

Pick an Appropriate Color

Cooler-toned colors are less likely to turn brassy, so consider getting ashy highlights. There will be fewer red and yellow hues to create the undesired effect.

Avoid Too Many Chemicals

Avoiding chemicals such as chlorine and even elements like salt will help stop your hair from oxidizing and bringing out the brassy tones.

Oxidation is when brassy tones show up in brown hair or blonde or in bleached highlights.

Avoid the Sun

Protect your hair with a UV spray and hide it under a hat if you’re going out in direct sunlight.

Sunlight can warm up your hair and it can also cause UV damage that creates the unwanted tones.

Avoid Sulfate Shampoo

Sulfate is pretty hard on your hair and it can strip natural oils and chemicals out of the strands. It can also take some of the pigment away, revealing brass in the lighter parts of your tresses.

Everyone with dyed hair should avoid sulfate-based shampoo unless you’re specifically doing a clarifying wash.

When you’re trying to figure out how to remove brassy tones from highlights it can seem daunting. You really don’t want to damage your hair, and going back to dark simply isn’t an option.

Luckily, neutralization, stripping the pigment out of your hair, or starting from scratch can be incredibly effective at keeping your hair nice, blonde, and cool.

If you’re ever in doubt, consult your stylist to see which of our tips will work best for you.

Getting a different tone than your desired hair color isn’t uncommon, and sometimes bleached or dyed hair will turn pink. The good news is it’s not unfixable, either.

So if you’re left wondering how to remove pink tones from hair, then look below because we’ve got the answer for you.

Why Did Your Hair Turn Pink?

Chances are that if your hair turned pink, you’re a brunette and you bleached it.

You didn’t do anything wrong while following the instructions to bleach your hair. There’s no need to worry about that.

Your hair color is simply difficult to bleach because it has natural red and purple undertones.

These undertones can lead to pink tones being left behind when you remove the natural color from your hair.

If you’re planning on dying your hair light brown, then the pink tones won’t always be visible when you apply the new color.

However, if you want to go blonde, especially silver or ashy blonde, then the pink will probably show through as an unwanted hue discoloring your desired shade.

There are several other reasons for hair to turn pink.

• Sometimes, people try to dye their hair one color, and it turns out pink. This can happen if the hair wasn’t lightened enough before the dye was applied, or if a red or purple dye fades over time.
• Chlorine can sometimes give light-colored hair a greenish tint, but it can also interact with dyes (especially red ones) to give hair a pink hue.
• Some shampoos, conditioners, and other hair products can leave a pink tint in the hair, especially if they’re meant to enhance red or purple tones.

There’s no need to worry, though, because there are many easy solutions to this little problem.

How to Remove Pink Tones from Hair

First of all, if your hair has turned pink after toning, dying, or bleaching it, don’t dye it again straight away.

Specially bleached hair needs moisture and proteins before it’s bleached again. Take a few days to remove the pink tones by following the steps below.

Do a Good Clarifying Wash

Sometimes the pink pigment left behind in your hair isn’t that strong.

A clarifying wash can remove some of the pigment so that the pink isn’t noticeable when you apply dye or toner over your bleached tresses.

You’ll want to use a clarifying shampoo with lots of sulfates in it, as these are what strip your hair of pigments, oils, and chemicals best.

Don’t forget to take care of your hair by deep conditioning or using a hair mask after you clarify. Sulfate-heavy shampoo can fry your strands.

Bleach Again

Before you reach for the bleach, stop! Under no circumstances should you bleach your hair twice on the same day. Ideally, don’t even bleach your hair twice in the same week!

Wait at least two weeks before you bleach your hair again. A second bleaching session may be all you need to turn your hair white instead of pink so you can apply your desired color on top.

Leaving the bleach on a little longer than the instructions say is inadvisable, by the way, as you may damage your hair. So don’t be tempted if you think it’ll help!

Tone It Out

Applying a toner after you bleach your hair can be effective enough to decrease or remove pink tones from your hair.

Can I Tone My Hair Twice?

Neutralizing using a dye designed to neutralize colors or using a toning shampoo can also help you.

To remove pink tones, you’ll want to use green. There’s a variety of green shampoos and conditioners available that you can buy.

But if you have a lot of very strong pink, then shampoo and conditioner won’t be that effective, so tone your hair with green dye or toner instead.

After using the green toner or shampoo and conditioner, then you should be left with an ashy blonde color.

Dye Your Hair Darker

When you bleach your hair you usually want to dye it a nice light blonde. However, not everybody can go straight from brunette to blonde in just one session.

Consider dying your hair a medium tone of ashy brown. Wait around four weeks then bleach your hair again.

This time, there should be no pink tones left behind as there are no pink, purple, or red pigments used in ashy hair dye.

Now you can dye your hair the lighter shade that you desire and there should be no pink showing underneath.

If a little pink still shows through, then use neutralizing shampoos. They should get rid of the problem easily.

So, that’s how to remove pink tones from hair if they’ve been left behind after you bleach it.

Neutralizing the color and stripping as much of the unwanted pigment as possible will help you considerably in reaching your hair goals.

5 Ways to Remove Purple Tones from Brown Hair

As always, consult a professional if you think something has gone too wrong to fix at home.

The post How to Remove Unwanted Pink Tones from Hair? appeared first on Hairdo Hairstyle.

Well, the first thing you should do is calm down and don’t panic. Your hair isn’t ruined. You can fix this problem.

Brunette celebrities have made brown hair popular among people. They are the reason lots of people are dyeing their hair brown. Even people with the most desired blonde hair are also dyeing their hair brown.

If you don’t know how to remove purple tones from brown hair, then you’re definitely in the right place, because we’re going to teach you what to do and why this happened. 

Why Do Purple Tones Occur in Brown Hair

Brown is a tricky pigment to make. There are lots of different colors that go into it, such as red and purple.

Brown hair, chocolate brown tones to be particular, have a purple base, and neutral browns usually use violet as their base color.

These hues show up very well on bleached hair, so if you’re trying to go from blonde to brown, then you may end up seeing purple shining through.

Various factors can contribute to brown hair developing purple tones. One common cause is the use of purple shampoo or conditioner.

These products are primarily designed to neutralize brassy hues in blonde and highlighted hair. However, when used on brown hair, they can sometimes leave a purple tint behind.

Another potential cause is the application of hair dye containing purple pigments. Certain hair dyes carry purple pigments to create cooler or ashier tones.

If your hair is already dark or if you use an excessive amount of dye, the purple pigments may remain, thus giving your hair a purple shade.

Sun exposure can result in hair fading and becoming damaged, which can lead to the emergence of a purple tint in brown hair, particularly if the hair has previously been dyed or highlighted.

Hard water, with its high mineral content, can also result in hair appearing dull and lifeless and can contribute to a purple tint in brown hair due to mineral buildup on the hair and scalp.

It’s very difficult to go from blonde to chocolate brown without your hair going purple, but if you’ve accidentally ended up with a hair color you don’t want there are ways to fix it.

How to Remove Purple Tones from Brown Hair Quickly

Neutralizing your hair and removing unwanted pigments are the best ways to remove purple tones from brown hair.

Following the methods below should fix your hair scare in no time.

Color Your Hair Yellow or Orange

Do you know how a lot of blondes tend to use purple to neutralize yellow and orange tones in their hair? You can do the opposite.

If you have purple in your hair that you want to remove, then toning or dying your hair is an easy fix.

Ideally, you should wait a week before you dye your hair a different color, then wait another week before you attempt to go brown again. This is to minimize the damage done to your hair.

So which colors should you choose? Well, select yellow for removing dark purple and orange for getting rid of light shades like violet.

Check out Pigmented Shampoo and Conditioners

Purple, red, and blue-toned shampoos and conditioners are by far the most common when looking for pigment in hair wash products.

However, it is possible to find shampoo and conditioner with yellow or orange tones.

If you only have a small issue with your hair turning purple, then a couple of washes and some upkeep with toned shampoo and conditioner should do the trick.

Check online or ask a stylist for yellow/orange toned shampoos as these will be very difficult to find in stores.

Use Some Vinegar

If your brown hair has a purple sheen to it, then shampoo and condition your hair as you usually would. After that, you’ll want to rinse your hair out with some apple cider vinegar.

Try a 2-to-1 ratio where you use 2 cups of water and a single cup of apple cider vinegar. There’s no need to leave this in your hair. Just make sure it rinses all the way through.

If that doesn’t seem to be strong enough, then try using equal parts of water and apple cider vinegar. Add a tablespoon of oil to thicken the consistency slightly.

Leave this mixture on your tresses for 10 minutes before you wash it out, and it should’ve worked better.

The reason apple cider vinegar works to remove purple tones from brown hair is because it contains acid. Because of how harsh it is, you should only use this treatment once every two weeks. If you deep condition your hair in between, then you may be able to use it once weekly instead.

Try a Baking Soda Mixture

Baking soda is another household item that can often help you fix mistakes when dying your hair.

Get a cup and a half of water, then mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda in.

Apply the baking soda/water paste to wet hair, and let it stay on the strands for 10 minutes.

Rinse your hair out with water, but don’t shampoo or condition it. Then, repeat this every three or four days until the purple is gone.

It’s safe to do this a couple of times a week because baking soda isn’t acidic.

It’s an alkaline substance, so it’s good at neutralizing unwanted tones without causing as much damage as apple cider vinegar.

Consider Tomato Sauce

This may sound very strange, but tomato sauce applied to the hair is how you can remove blue-violet purple tones from brown hair.

Massage it into your head and make sure to do this in a ventilated area. It smells so strong!

Wrap your head in plastic for an hour, then wash out all the tomato sauce with shampoo.

Figuring out how to remove purple tones from brown hair is scary. You don’t want to damage your hair or accidentally dye it another incorrect color.

However, it’s usually a simple process and you can get rid of the unwanted tones in it within a week or two.

Consider this a learning experience so that if you want to go from blonde to chocolate brown next time, you’ll know to choose an ashy, medium brown first!

The post 5 Ways to Remove Purple Tones from Brown Hair appeared first on Hairdo Hairstyle.

People often go to great lengths to remove these unwanted tones, and they end up damaging their hair in the process.

Sometimes adding the blonde hair color over brassy bleached hair is enough to work. Other times, the unwanted tones remain even after the final color has been applied.

Don’t worry, all hope is not lost. We’re going to teach you how to remove brassy tones from blonde hair in several different ways.

How to Remove Brassy Tones from Blonde Hair

Some of these tricks should be done by a talented stylist, but there are other things you can do at home to help keep the brass at bay.

1. Choose Your Color Wisely

While having a full head of single-shade blonde hair can be tempting, sometimes it’s a better idea to spice it up with highlights and lowlights in different blonde tones.

Getting a few darker blonde tones over the brassy areas can help disguise them.

You may also want to consider a balayage. This highlighting style can bring a lot of life to your hair, and it helps different shades blend in really well.

Try not to go lighter than two tones above your natural color to prevent you from needing to figure out how to remove brassy tones from blonde hair again in the future.

2. Keep Your Hair Sun-Protected

The sun is unfortunately good at bringing out warmer tones in people’s locks, so you’ll need to keep your tresses protected from UV rays.

Plus, the sun can cause your color to fade and dry your strands to dry out.

If you’ll be going out in the bright summer heat, then consider wearing an updo and tucking your hair under a hat or bandanna.

Adding a UV protection spray is also ideal not just in summer, but day to day.

3. Keep Your Showers Cold

It’s understandable that after a long day you may want to hop into a warm and relaxing shower, but this is detrimental to the quality of your hair color.

Hair is very sensitive to heat, even when that heat comes from water. Your hair will look shiny and glossy if you rinse it with cool water instead.

It would be a good idea to wear a shower cap so you can enjoy a warm shower, but then turn down the heat and remove the cap when it’s time to rinse out your hair.

4. Stay Away From Chlorine

It’s always best if your hair is around as few chemicals as possible, and chlorine is one of the worst for your locks. It’ll remove natural oils from your hair, leading to split ends, breakage, and a lack of shine.

Damaged hair becomes brassy more easily, so you’ll want to keep your locks in top condition.

If you want to go swimming, then wet your hair with regular water before you get in the pool. Wash your hair after you get out, and apply liberal conditioner to keep your follicles soft.

5. Seal In Your Colour

Visit a hairstylist who always seals hair color in during coloring sessions.

There’s a sheer glaze that they can apply to your hair after they finish coloring it. This will help prevent your hair from fading for a little longer, and it’ll also keep the brass away.

6. Refresh Your Hair with Gloss

When wondering how to remove brassy tones from blonde hair, you should know keeping your blonde color fresh is always effective.

Consider buying a color-refreshing gloss to help neutralize unwanted tones and brighten up the blonde shades in your tresses.

Ask your stylist which brand they recommend for you, as they’ll know your hair and its needs best.

7. Use Color Correcting Products

Many blondes choose to use purple shampoo even if they aren’t dealing with brassiness. It can be used to remove brassiness in light brown hair also.

You see, violet is on the opposite side of the color wheel to yellow. This is why it cancels out any warm tones you don’t want in your hair.

Purple shampoo is the most common product to use, but you can also find purple conditioners and hair masks to help you further.

8. Start Deep Conditioning

Not every hair type needs deep conditioning, so ask your stylist whether or not they think deep conditioning would be good for your hair. If the treatment is suitable, then start deep conditioning once a week.

Use a specially curated deep conditioning hair treatment or mask and keep it on your hair for 20 minutes before washing it out.

If you have particularly thick, wavy, or curly hair, then hold your hair in your hands while you run the water over it to keep some of the conditioner in your hair as a leave-in.

9. Wash Your Hair Less

Everyone is different, and there may be some people who need to wash their hair every day to keep it looking good. However, most people can get by washing their hair only 2 to 3 times a week.

Using dry shampoo that’s safe for colored hair can get you by between washes if your roots look a little greasy.

If you have curly, wavy, a very thick hair, then you could consider conditioning your hair in between washes, but minimize shampoo.

10. Get a Water Filter for Hard Water

Hard water is terrible for your hair and can strip it of its natural oils, leading to brassy tones in blonde hair.

Investing in a filter for your showerhead to avoid hard water will do both your hair and skin a lot of good.

11. Use Color Protect Products

Finally, if purple shampoo doesn’t seem right for you, then look into color-protective shampoo.

Ideally, the product you use should be silicone and sulfate-free to keep your hair its healthiest and your color its brightest.

Your stylist will probably have a recommendation for a shampoo that’s best for you.

Learning how to remove brassy tones from blonde hair can seem daunting because there are so many different things you can do.

Once you start applying these to your routine, then you’ll find keeping your locks lovely and blonde is easier than ever.

When trying to find out how to remove yellow tones from blonde hair it can be a struggle, and you might feel like there’s no hope and you have to get your hair redone.

However, you can figure out why your hair has turned yellow, and you can remove the color from it both at home and with the help of a stylist.

What Causes Blonde Hair to Develop Yellow Tones?

Some things your hair may turn yellow are highly preventable, but others are just a natural part of the coloring process. However, learning what causes the issue can help you prevent it.

Pigment Showing Through

Stylists often apply a glaze or gloss to your hair when you’re going blonde. This helps hide the natural yellow element of the pigment that makes your hair color.

The gloss or glaze begins to fade with time, causing your hair to yellow. If you don’t get regular touchups on your color, then the yellow may begin to shine through.

Environmental Damage

Unfortunately, the environment isn’t a friend to dyed blonde hair. Smoke and air pollution can yellow your tresses.

Swimming in chlorine can also cause yellowing to occur, and it can bring out green tones in your locks.

Wear a swim cap, install a water filter in the shower, don’t let people smoke in your house, and use heat protection sprays as often as you can.

Heat Damage

Heat is often used to style hair but it’s not a friend to hair dye. If you leave heat tools on your strands for too long, that can create a yellow tone.

Always use a product designed to help shield your hair from heat. Plus, use high-quality tools that won’t cause too much damage.

Incompatible Products

Not every product is designed to work well with blonde hair. Some hair sprays, styling gels, and shampoos and conditioners can leave yellow deposits.

Try changing your products if you suspect the things you’re using are discoloring your hair.

How to Remove Yellow Tones from Blonde Hair As Safely As Possible

Some of these methods to correct your hair color are a little drastic, but others offer a gentler solution to the unwanted tones. Which is best for you will depend on your situation and preferences.

Use Purple Products

Purple and yellow are opposite colors, so purple should cancel out yellow tones.

Purple and violet products are by far the most common types of shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks used by blondes.

You don’t have to use the purple shampoo every time, but using it at least once a week will help stop yellow from coming through.

Tone Your Hair

If shampoos and conditioners aren’t strong enough for you, then get a permanent toner and put it to work.

They can turn canary yellow hair into the beautiful, icy blonde tresses of your dreams.

If your hair is dull, toner will revitalize the stunning blonde shade until it looks as good as it did when freshly dyed.

You can tone your hair at home, but if you’re inexperienced with toning, then going to a professional for your first time would be a good choice.

How Long To Leave Toner On Your Yellow Hair?

Don’t forget to ask for tips so you can do this on your own at home in the future!

Try Bleaching

Yellow tones are usually some of the easiest to neutralize and cover up, but sometimes they’re just too strong to fully remove with the methods above.

If the treatments above didn’t work for you, then you should just start from scratch.

Bleach your hair to remove all pigments in it. Yes, this will remove your nice blonde shade too, but it’s worth it to get rid of the unpleasant yellow.

Now you can dye and tone your hair any shade you like.

If you’re doing a drastic color change, like from dirty blonde to silvery blonde, then it would be a better idea to get professional help.

Go Darker

If you’d rather not bleach your hair, then consider wearing a darker color for a while. A few months of a darker color can totally shave up your look.

A darker shade of blonde can hide the yellow, and some shades are dark enough to stop going yellow entirely.

Going darker stops you from needing to bleach your locks. You can always go lighter again in a few months when your hair has grown out and healed a little from bleach damage.

Now you know how to remove blonde tones yourself, but going to a professional is always an option if you’re struggling with it at home.

Professional help is also best if you’re worried about damaging your tresses.

However, blonde is one of the trickiest colors to deal with as there are several issues that may arise. One common problem is the hair turning green.

This leads to people needing to figure out how to remove green tones from blonde hair, but don’t worry, it’s a lot easier than you think. You may not even need professional help to get the job done.

Why Does Blonde Hair Turn Green?

Some people who favor unique shades may be trying to go from green hair to blonde hair.

However, some people who’ve never touched green in their life might find themselves dealing with a green tint that seems to have come out of nowhere.

The blonde hair turns green due to copper found in swimming pools. The copper mixes with chlorine and becomes oxidized, then it binds to your hair strands.

The green color will be stronger or harder to remove the longer you spend in the pool water.

1. Do a Clarifying Wash

Get yourself a clarifying shampoo. These are full of chemicals, such as sulfate, that totally strip your hair of chemicals and even its natural oils.

You really should avoid clarifying too often as it can damage your hair and fade its color. However, a quick wash should get rid of most or not all of the green.

Condition well or do a hair mask when you’re done to return moisture to your hair follicles.

2. Do an Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse

Acidic substances are always effective at getting rid of chemicals in your hair. How the acid works is by neutralizing the unwanted green tones in blonde hair to remove the tint and restore your color.

Use a 2-to-1 ratio, so 2 cups of water and 1 cup of apple cider vinegar for example.

Shampoo and condition your hair as normal, then rinse it with the apple cider vinegar mixture.

3. Get a Toning Conditioner

One of the easiest tricks in the book when correcting hair colors is to use toning products. Red and pink are opposite green on the color wheel, so that’s what you use.

Get yourself a red/pink-toned shampoo and conditioner set and use these to wash your hair.

If you can find any designed for removing brassy colors in your hair, then consider these. They also work to remove green tones from blonde hair.

4. Get Your Hair Dyed Blonde Again

Sometimes the green is simply too strong to fully remove, so you may just have to get an all-over color treatment.

Ideally, you should use professional-grade color products if you do this at home, as box dye is incredibly damaging to your hair.

Sometimes trying to dye the blonde directly over the green will still leave green tones showing through. So, getting an all-over color a couple of shades darker than desired should do the trick to hide the green.

You should wait about a month before attempting to go lighter again so your hair has time to heal. But don’t worry, soon you can return to all your favorite shade of bright blonde.

5. Seek Professional Help

You may be able to purchase professional-grade hair products, but that doesn’t mean you know which ones to get.

Visiting a stylist who can evaluate the tones in your hair is best in some instances.

The stylist will likely apply ashy toner multiple times, and this will show you how to remove green tones in your blonde hair in the future.

Purchase the same toner your stylist used so you can do this treatment at home if the problem occurs again.

6. Try Some Bleach

If you can’t afford a stylist and you don’t want to dye your hair darker, then you may wish to bleach it instead.

You should avoid bleaching your hair as much as possible as it’s horribly damaging.

But bleach really is your only option if nothing else is working and you need to get the job done at home. Be very, very careful and follow the instructions exactly.

Once your hair is bleached, then you can dye blonde over it. Condition your hair well or do a hair mask when you’re done.

Once you know how to get remove green tones from blonde hair then you can repeat the steps in the future if this problem happens again.

There are simple and effective ways to remove red tones from your blonde hair without visiting a salon.

Learning how to remove red tones from blonde hair will help you considerably when making drastic hair color switches in the future.

Tips For Removing Red Tones from Blonde Hair

Preparing your hair and using solutions to strip it of pigment are best when looking to eliminate red undertones. All the methods below can help you with this.

1. Do a Clarifying Wash

Before heading to the salon, apply a sulfate-heavy clarifying shampoo to dry hair and leave it to sit for 10 minutes before you wash it out. This will help get rid of product buildup, mineral buildup, and color.

It won’t fully strip your hair color, but it will help break down a lot of that red pigment in your cuticles and make it easier to cover up when you or your stylist apply another shade on top.

Clarifying shampoos can also help if your stylist has already done the work but there are still red undertones in your new blonde look.

Blonde is already very light, so it’s a hard color to strip if you use a clarifying product. Red, on the other hand, can be faded.

When it fades it often turns into a warm blonde color that will blend in with the rest of your new look.

If you’re going for an ashy blonde shade, then you might have to be warm for a few weeks after the red fades out until you can have your ashy blonde treatment completed.

2. Use a Green Toner

When choosing a stylist, ask them if they have green toner they can use when mixing up your hair dye.

If you take a look at a color wheel, you’ll find green sits on the opposite side to red. This means green tones will cancel out red ones, so blonde will go down on top without the red showing through.

If coloring your hair at home, then opt for a green toner when selecting your products.

However, if your red has faded to a more orange shade, then you should opt for a purple or blue toner instead.

Knowing which colors neutralize other tones is key when learning how to remove red tones from blonde hair.

3. Use Toning Shampoo or Conditioner

Sometimes using toner while creating your color can help considerably, but it won’t always remove red tones from blonde hair completely.

In these instances, you should use toning shampoo and conditioner. Remember, use green toner when trying to get rid of red.

Leave the shampoo, and then the conditioner, on for two or three minutes before you rinse them out.

It would be a good idea to do this toning treatment the last time you wash your hair before your dye session to go blonde. Then, use the toning shampoo and conditioner for the first wash after your dye job.

4. Utilize Some Baking Soda

Baking soda works wonders for a variety of things. It’s a strong alkaline substance so it’s often used to clean and strip unwanted chemicals on a variety of objects.

It also works to strip pigment out of your hair follicles.

Create a solution of equal parts warm water and baking soda. This should form a paste when stirred.

Apply it to your hair everywhere there’s a red tone you wish to remove, and leave it in for 15 minutes.

Rinse thoroughly to ensure you get all of it out, as it’s damaging if left in too long. This will dry your hair out, so condition it generously when you’re done.

5. Grab Some Vitamin C

If you have any vitamin C tablets lying around, then you can use them the same way as baking soda.

Crush them up into a powder and add water to create a paste. Then, follow the steps above that you’d follow if you were using baking soda.

6. Go Dark Before Going Blonde

As red is so difficult to cover up with light shades, you may temporarily want to dye your hair a darker color such as brown.

You don’t have to go too dark, but make sure it’s dark enough to hide the red. It’s a pricey but effective solution when figuring out how to remove red undertones from blonde hair.

Wear your new hair color for a minimum of two weeks, but ideally, for around a month before you start going blonde again.

It’ll be much easier to go from brown to blonde, as brown pigments are easier to cover up.

7. Mix Your Dyes

If you don’t have the time to wear a darker hair color for a month, then you could try a variation of the method above.

When dying your hair, cover up the red tones with brown, blue, or even green. Let it develop for a few minutes, but don’t leave it on so long that it actually dyes your hair.

Instead, you’ll simply want to see the red tones fade into more of a yellow or blonde color.

Quickly wash away this dye and continue dying your hair blonde as you normally would.

Be very careful when using this method, as using a dye that’s too pigmented or leaving the dye on too long may dye your hair an unwanted color.

Red really is a tough pigment to remove, but there are lots of different ways you can strip your hair or neutralize the vibrant tones you want to get rid of.
