Use a toner after bleaching.
Dark hair often ends up with orange or yellow tones after bleaching. The right toner will cancel out these brassy tones and makes your hair closer to platinum or white blonde.
If your just-bleached blonde hair looks yellow, don't worry—you can fix it with toner! Toners have ammonia in them, which is pretty harsh on hair. Since bleach is also quite damaging, try to wait 2-3 days after bleaching before you tone your hair to avoid extra stress on your strands.
Blue cancels out yellow on the color wheel. Because they are blue based, they are particularly effective at neutralizing any yellowness in the hair. Aim for level 6 to 8 if you are looking to down down brassy hair. For extra strong "yellow killing", we recommend that you squeeze in some Ash Blue Additive.
A yellow tinge in bleached blonde hair may be due to an application error or due to an unsuitable product choice. The yellow tinge often shows up because the bleach is rinsed out too early. Many women will watch the color changing while the bleach does its work.
The best way to combat unwanted yellow tones is by using purple shampoo. This product may be a blonde's best friend, but those with gray hair can use this too.
It features crushed violet pigments that neutralize style-ruining brassy and yellow tones. Hair stylists often tone bleached or blonde hair to neutralize brassy yellow and orange tones on bleached hair with a purple color. Purple shampoo is a great at-home solution for toning hair and preventing brassiness.
Bleaching makes your hair pale yellow, not platinum blonde. To achieve a platinum blonde look, you need to use a toner on freshly bleached hair to make it white. To make it look pure white, you need to use a neutralizing toner.
Use the Blondify Natural Ash Blonde (blue based) to get tone yellow and yellow-orange hair and get to ash blonde. Use the Blondify Natural Violet blonde (purple based) to get light yellow and get to cold ash blonde or white blonde.
White Toner deposits semi-permanent blue-based color into bleached strands to neutralise brassy yellows and create a pristine icy blonde finish or a first layer for cool, sharp color on top. Our gentle, ammonia-free White Toner works best on pale yellow bleached blonde hair (any type!)
There's two reasons why your hair is still brassy after toning or colouring. Either the undertone of the toner/colour is wrong, or the product is too light for you.
Unless your hair is naturally at a level 10 blonde, you will need to bleach your hair before you can make it all the way to silver; there is simply no way around it. Lightening is a very precarious process. That is why we recommend leaving this essential step to the professionals.
Ash Blonde 7.1and Dark Blonde 6.1 and Light Deep Ash Brown 5.11 are the ideal go-to colors for toning down orange hair. For extra strong "orange killing", squeeze in some Ash Grey Additive.
If your hair is blond, grey, or white, use an apple cider vinegar rinse or a baking soda-hydrogen peroxide paste. Once you get the yellow out, you can prevent it from returning with a few changes to your personal care routine.
Apple cider vinegar is a versatile and affordable solution for neutralizing brassy hair tones, leaving your hair looking fresh and vibrant. It works by balancing the pH level of your hair, sealing the cuticle, and eliminating unwanted brassiness.
Well, the answer is yes! Baking soda is a versatile and natural solution that can help eliminate unwanted yellow hues in your silver hair. By neutralizing the brassy tones, it not only helps to restore your hair's natural color but also leaves it looking shiny and healthy.
When deciding how to tone yellow hair to ash, try using a violet shampoo first. As purple is the opposite of yellow on the colour spectrum, the shampoo's purple pigment draws out the yellow brassiness from your blonde, neutralises those unwanted tones, and makes your colour look cooler, healthier and more vibrant.
Toning is the process of removing brassy tones and overall correcting your hair color to the actual color you desire. Toners for hair can take bright yellow or golden hues to a more natural-looking dusty, ashy, or platinum blonde, such as with purple shampoo.
We'll say it once more: bleached hair will eventually turn yellow. However, that doesn't mean you have to let your hair turn yellow. With regular hair salon visits, you'll never see a strand of yellow in your hair. We recommend visiting every 6-8 weeks for optimal maintenance results.
Fade To Grey Toner deposits strong steely grey tone into bleached strands to neutralise brassy yellows and create a cool, slatey finish or base for dark ashy colours.
Purple shampoo doesn't remove the yellow color but is designed to tone down the yellow in gray and white hair. It tones the color in your hair from warm tones (yellow) to cool (silver). Purple shampoo is only a temporary solution for yellows in your gray hair.
Both silver and purple shampoo are designed to neutralise yellow and brassy tones in blonde, silver and grey hair. If you've used either one, you'll have noticed that bright purple hue when you pop the lid and squeeze.
