Bleached hair requires special care using professional shampoos and masks. Over time, cool-toned hair may develop yellowness, but using a neutralizing shampoo will help avoid this problem.
Causes of yellow hair
When lightening your hair, it can be difficult to achieve platinum shades due to the persistent yellow pigment. The blonde palette can be obtained by dyeing light hair or lightening dark hair. In both cases, unwanted yellowness may appear.
Possible reasons for this problem:
- hair bleaching is not brought to the required level;
- use of 9% and 12% oxidizing agents for coloring;
- the hair was not tinted after bleaching;
- improper care for colored hair (sulfate-free shampoos, masks, sprays).
Sometimes, to obtain the desired shade of hair, repeated lightening is performed with low percentages of oxidizing agent. Neglecting this recommendation leads to rapid washing out of the dye. If hair bleaching was carried out using aggressive oxidizing agents, the hair structure will be too porous to retain dye molecules for a long time.
After bleaching, the hair must be tinted so that it looks well-groomed and shiny. Proper care of light strands is an important aspect of the fight against unwanted yellowness.
How to remove yellow hair color: methods and secrets
If your hair color begins to change from cold to warm, you can stop the changes in two ways:
- tinting with dye or balm;
- using shampoo and mask with blue or purple pigment.
Hair tinting after bleaching gives a more saturated color and strengthens the hair structure. After tinting your hair with dye, you must apply a balm to fix the color. In order to avoid the appearance of yellowness in the future, you should initially use silver shampoos and balms for blonde hair.
How to choose a shampoo or tonic with a suitable composition: required components
To eliminate warm hair tints, it is recommended to use a tint shampoo and conditioner of the same brand. Comprehensive care and periodic hair tinting will help maintain the original color for a long time.
You should choose shampoo and conditioner containing pigments of the following colors:
- silver (with a slight manifestation of yellowness);
- purple (with a more pronounced yellow tint);
- blue (with reddish highlights).
The product label may be marked “Anti-Yellow” or “Silver”. The presence of plant components in the composition will have a beneficial effect on the condition of bleached hair. It is better to choose high-quality professional cosmetics than to later neutralize the consequences of using cheap shampoos.
Rules for using anti-yellow hair products
You can use the yellow hair neutralizer by carefully reading the instructions on the label. Improper application of shampoo can cause blue or purple streaks to appear on your strands.
You need to know in what form the neutralizer is applied to the hair and how long it needs to be left on. In many cases, the product must be diluted with shampoo, conditioner or water so that the color is evenly distributed throughout the hair.
Preparation
To prepare your hair for the procedure of neutralizing yellowness, you should comb it thoroughly and wash it with regular shampoo. Ideally, you should wash your hair with softened, filtered water. Do not apply a hair mask before using the neutralizer.
Usage
After reading the instructions on the label, you need to bring the neutralizer to the required consistency. Next, the product is distributed over the entire length of the hair and left for a couple of minutes. When using for the first time, it is better not to keep the neutralizer for too long. This will allow you to evaluate how quickly the hair absorbs the pigment.
Then you need to thoroughly wash your hair in warm water and apply a nourishing mask. The use of restorative and moisturizing preparations is important to fill the structure of bleached hair.
How often should you use a hair neutralizer?
Hair yellowing neutralizer should not be used every time you wash your hair. In most cases, it is enough to apply it to your hair once a week. In the first stages of using tinted shampoo, repeated use is possible in order to achieve the required cool shade. It is worth understanding that the neutralizer will not be able to tint a pronounced red color.
Contraindications for use
Tinted shampoos and balms with the Anti-Yellow effect are intended only for light blondes.
The yellowness neutralizer cannot be used on hair of the following shades:
In some cases, tint shampoo can be used on ash-blond hair when washing out the ashy shade. On dark hair, the neutralizer will most likely not give any tint.
This product is not recommended for use on hair that is too damaged, as it may result in a pronounced blue or lilac tint.
This happens because the structure of brittle hair is very quickly filled with coloring pigments.
Is it possible to achieve results the first time?
You should not expect that your hair color will clearly change after the first application of a tint mask. Such funds often have a cumulative effect. The result can be seen after 3-4 applications.
Much depends on the type of hair: dry hair dyes faster, oily hair needs more time to absorb the pigment. When applying the product to damaged hair, it is not advisable to leave it on for longer than 1-2 minutes.. The main factors on which the elimination of yellowness depends are the quality and type of hair.

How to remove yellowness from hair:
The desire to achieve platinum blonde and other cool shades often ends in failure. Yellowness and red tints at the roots spoil the appearance and mood of blondes. Cosmetic companies have taken this problem on board and created separate product lines for yellow hair. Tinted hair balm (tonic) is one such option. He copes with the defect without any problems and gently cares for bleached strands.
Why does hair turn yellow?
Curls that turn yellow after bleaching are a common and not so pleasant phenomenon. What causes the appearance of an unsightly defect? There are several options:
- Low-quality or expired paint was used for painting;
- During lightening, violations of the dyeing technology were committed; the rules for applying the dye to the strands were not followed;
- You saved on the coloring composition, and your hair turned out poorly;
- The paint was overexposed or, conversely, washed off ahead of schedule;
- Coloring was performed during menstruation or for diseases associated with hormonal imbalances in the body;
- If before lightening the hair was dyed, and after that the old pigment was not washed off;
- Inability to care for bleached strands, for example, rinsing with running water with rust particles or using shampoos with oils that can tint the hair;
- Your hair is often exposed to ultraviolet radiation, tobacco smoke or harmful gases in the air.
- If you have naturally dark hair color, then after one coloring you rarely get the desired effect. The fact is that your own pigment is so strong that you can’t get rid of it right away. Remains of pigment mix with paint particles and give an unpleasant yellowness. Therefore, if you are unsure of your own abilities, do not have sufficient experience and skills in matters of coloring, it is better not to experiment, trust the professionals.
Advice. Dry and brittle hair does not dye well and can become completely lifeless. Therefore, a month or two before the planned transformation, take care of nourishing and strengthening your hair, regularly apply healthy masks with a moisturizing effect.
Correcting yellowness with a tint balm
Tinted hair balm is an excellent option for correcting the tone of your hair. It does not affect the structure of the hair, but only envelops it from the outside. The product does not contain ammonia or hydrogen peroxide particles, so its use does not harm colored hair. In addition, it contains a large number of plant extracts and essential oils, and after using the product, the strands become softer, more silky and protected from ultraviolet radiation.
But the tonic has one drawback - it is unstable and loses intensity with each wash. even to the point that you shouldn't be exposed to rain or go to the pool.
Some brands of tint products are recommended to be used constantly, with each wash, in order to maintain the intensity of the shade at the proper level.
In recent years, in home coloring, girls have preferred Tonic shampoos from Rocolor.

Subtleties of using tonics
Using balms against yellow hair will not cause any difficulties or problems. But to limit yourself from unexpected results and guarantee an amazing effect, the advice of professionals will come in handy:
- Apply the product only to clean curls, as opposed to paint;
- Do not use soap or shampoo to remove tonic residue from strands. To avoid washing out the color, you only need clean water;
- The higher the concentration of tonic, the richer the shade will be. But don’t overdo it, balms for yellow hair are usually blue, purple or silver in color and can leave a residual tint on the strands, turning you into a Malvina or a gray-haired woman;
- Before applying the tonic to your hair, you need to dilute it with conditioner, regular shampoo for washing your hair. Recommended proportions are indicated in the instructions for the cosmetic product.
- Keep the instructions even when the product runs out. It will be useful in the future when you decide to change the dye or tonic, and will prevent a possible conflict between the compositions.
Advice. You don't need to keep the tonic on your hair for a long time. Apply it and wash it off after 2-5 minutes, otherwise the curls will turn purple.
Purple (anti-yellow) shampoos are also suitable for combating yellowness.
