We’ll look at a number of efficient ways to remove yellow tones from blonde hair in this post so you can keep your hair looking gorgeous, cool, and bright like you always wanted.

Intro

I’ll be honest right away: I’ve never been blonde. Even in all the years of careless experimentation with my own looks. merely because I know it won’t work for me. However, I’ve always envied blondes, whether they’re naturally blonde or have bleached their curls, because, really, does it really matter if it’s pretty?

Some people get the luxury of blonde from nature, but brunettes, brown-haired women and girls with light brown hair are ready to spend time and effort to create and maintain it. They know for sure: the lightening and toning procedure is long, complicated and requires, firstly, angelic patience, and secondly, the highest professionalism of the salon master. And it is especially offensive when, after just a few days, unwanted yellowness appears on the brand new gorgeous blonde. Today we will look into the causes of the problem, find out whether it can be avoided and how to remove yellowness from bleached hair at home if it does appear.

Many blondes battle with unwanted yellow tones in their hair after bleaching, but there are easy fixes to get that clean, blonde look back. The yellowness can be eliminated by using purple shampoos, toners, and hair masks made to counteract brassiness. Keeping your blonde hair looking bright and healthy also requires proper aftercare practices.

Why yellowness appears after bleaching or dyeing

Brunettes are concerned about reddish undertones; light-haired women frequently experience redness. Additionally, light blondes find that yellow hair color gives them a headache because it only shows up on shades that are higher on the lightening background scale and have an undesired yellowish undertone.

• Errors in coloring technique. It is enough to choose the wrong lightening powder or mix it with the oxidizer in the wrong proportion. That is why SalonSecret experts recommend coloring in a salon with an experienced hairdresser-colorist specializing in pure cold shades of blond.

• Insufficient bleaching. Yellow hair after bleaching is normal, subsequent toning should neutralize the yellowness. It didn"t work? It looks like the bleaching powder didn"t do the job, there was too much natural pigment left in the hair.

• Color conflict. The cosmetic pigment of the previous coloring has not yet had time to wash off, and the new dye is already competing with it for the right to take its place on your hair. As a result, an unpleasant effect of a "dirty" shade may appear. Stylists try to neutralize the old pigment before coloring or directly during the procedure.

• Inaccurate choice of toning product. The bleaching composition "opens" the background of bleaching – the dye "covers" it with a new beautiful shade, consisting of several precursors (pre-pigments). If the precursors do not match the background of the hair bleaching, the color will remain yellow. Pros carefully choose what compositions to work with and what to dye yellow hair after lightening.

• Lack of maintenance care. Cold blond begins to lose its snowy aura after the first hair washing ritual. Without a home neutralizer – shampoo or mask with pigments – yellowness will make itself known, unfortunately, too soon.

Fascinating fact: tiny copper particles from tap water can cause color distortion during the dyeing process by slowly building up inside the hair shaft. Copper neutralization in a beauty salon is handled by a high (10%) concentration of glycoamine sprayed on Metal Detox. Metal particles are bound by an effective chelating agent.

To alleviate the "copper" factor ahead of time and support your stylist, switch from your regular care routine to L’Oréal Professionnel’s Metal Detox line. By doing this, your chances of having a flawless, uniform blond hair without any unwanted nuances will increase.

How to dye your hair and avoid yellowness

It is always preferable to avoid an issue; for instance, review the SalonSecret experts’ advice prior to the procedure. There is only one suggestion, though, and that is to locate a specialist at the closest beauty salon with an impressive portfolio.

The specialist will take on the most stressful moments:

• conduct diagnostics and select a lightening agent – strong enough for your hair;

• thoroughly cleanse the base from natural pigment and the results of previous coloring, but try to reduce the risk of chemical damage to the hair to a minimum;

• mix shades of dye for toning in such a way that the color of the coloring turns out clean and vibrant.

How can color flaws be fixed, and what should you do if your hair turns yellow after being completely bleached or lightened? We are just about to get into this situation, so don’t switch.

How to remove yellowness from hair after coloring, if it still appears

Purchase purple shampoo, or schedule a re-toning appointment at the salon? Experts offer advice on how to get rid of yellowing in hair after coloring and explain why certain techniques don’t work.

Shampoo that removes yellowness from hair

Shampoo that neutralizes with direct action Violet pigment has almost no resistance to ineffective coloring. However, when it gradually begins to wash off and turn yellow, this product will support a successful color. Among the expert "violet" shampoos.

Therefore, Silver by Matrix — adds a silvery sheen to cold blonde and naturally gray hair, and effortlessly corrects unwanted warm undertones after lightening and highlighting.

L’Oréal Professionnel’s Chroma Crème conditions hair and gives it a smooth finish while evenly eliminating yellowish tones.

Biolage’s ColorLast Purple restores the original purity of cold blonde hair while providing it with the best nutrition possible.

L’Oréal Professionnel’s Silver shampoo, which contains magnesium and violet pigments, is intended to give naturally gray hair and lightly colored hair back their color and shine.

Hair tinting, toners and tonics

Home cures that are tonic also neutralize. However, it’s unlikely that coloring technology errors will be fixed. Expert acid toners are stronger and produce a longer-lasting effect. For instance, the effects of the toner Matrix Tonal Control procedure can linger for up to six weeks. Color hackers from the brand advise toning refreshes as needed, ideally using the same colorist who created your coloring shade.

For toning delicate, sensitive hair, masters use dyes with an acidic pH that don’t contain ammonia. Tonal Control from Matrix and Dia light from L’Oréal Professionnel act gently and leave a radiant finish without raising the tone level, that is, without lightening.

Repeated gentle coloring with an alkaline dye

Another easy method for eliminating yellowing in hair after lightning. For your color, the master will choose a mild dye and create a custom blend of shades. It is not the master’s responsibility to obtain additional unexpected shades while neutralizing color. For instance, gray, purple, blue, or greenish.

Let me remind you that dyes containing ammonia should be avoided because bleached hair is always weaker. The formula’s compassionate ingredients are a huge plus. Your colorist has two options: SoColor Sync, a persistent alkaline dye that acts as a protective bonder in the composition and neutralizes any lightening background, or INOA, a permanent dye that has a good tolerance and increases scalp sensitivity.

Tinted balms and masks for yellowness

The most concentrated "purple" shampoos are typically their closest relatives. If you are careful with the shade, they will handle mild yellowness just fine. Take into consideration three somewhat different-characterized home helpers as an example.

Matrix’s Mask So Silver intensely neutralizes yellow in even the palest shades of blond hair while nourishing it.

Conditioner ColorBalm "Earl Gray" from Biolage is a product for fans of cooler hues that has a hint of ash. Karine Kotova, our expert stylist and colorist, believes it’s perfect for hair that’s been lightened with a complex coloring technique.

Conditioner ColorBalm "Lavender" is an intense way to achieve a lavender hair color in ten minutes while masking an undesired warm undertone.

Tint balms with cold undertones and masks that block yellowness are not long-lasting. Based on such treatments, stylists recommend developing a comprehensive regimen to combat yellowing: once a week, switch back to the "purple" shampoo and bolster it with a mask.

Repeated lightening

Not a single shampoo, tonic, or mask at times. Let’s attempt to tackle the issue logically and come up with a creative solution.

Scenario #1: On the coloring day, there was yellowness. More accurate information can be obtained from a professional stylist, and the preliminary conclusion is inadequate lightening. In this case, toning (covering the failed color with a darker shade) must be done and one to two months must pass. If your stylist determines that the hair is ready for strong chemical intervention, then relightening will rid the blonde of yellowness.

Scenario No. 2: After dyeing, yellowness developed. It is too late to introduce home neutralizing agents at this time; they ought to have started receiving care right away. It’s now up to you to either wait for the stylist’s next appointment or view the issue as an endless opportunity to experiment with home toning in unusual shades.

It can be challenging to achieve the ideal pure blonde look after bleaching, particularly if persistent yellow tones start to show. But you can achieve the cool, clean blonde look you’re going for with the correct products and techniques.

For every shade of yellow, there is a solution, ranging from professional toners to purple shampoos. The secret is to know what suits your hair type the best and stick to a regular regimen.

Recall that gorgeous blondes need a little extra maintenance, but with the appropriate strategy, you can keep your hair looking vibrant, youthful, and free of undesired brassiness.
