When you need to get rid of those yellow tones in your hair, using too much purple toner can cause purple hair.It is easy to solve and is very common.If you want to prevent hair damage, you should start with the least damaging color correction technique.If your hair is bright purple, you can skip to stronger stuff like a bleach wash.
Step 1: Minor staining can be removed with a clarifying shampoo.
If your hair is light in color, you may want to use a clarifying shampoo.If you want to rinse out the clarifying shampoo, apply it to your hair and lather it up for a few seconds with your fingers.Make sure you get rid of the tint by repeating this few times.Clarifying shampoo is used to remove oil.It is so effective because it is a lot stronger than a regular hair product.Clarifying shampoo can make your hair dry.You can do a deep-conditioning treatment or follow it with a hydrating conditioner.
Step 2: If clarifying shampoo doesn't work, use dish soap and lemon juice.
Apply Dawn dish soap to your hair and scalp.Work from the roots to the ends to rinse it out.Then, squeeze the juice from half a lemon onto your hair, and massage it in with your fingers.Allow the juice to sit for a short time and then rinse your hair with warm water.Dawn is known to be gentle.Clarifying is a process that removes everything from your hair.It is even stronger than clarifying, so it is important to use a hydrating hair mask.
Step 3: To get rid of purple staining, apply a commercial color cleanser.
A commercial color removal product is the way to go if clarifying is not enough.Apply the kit to your hair according to the instructions on the package.Once your hair is saturated from root to tip, stop applying the mixture.It can be damaging to hair if you use color removal because it has mild bleaching agents in it.Similar to a boxed hair dye, mix the 2 chemical agents together, saturate your hair with the mixture, let it process for a specific amount of time, and rinse it out thoroughly.If you have short hair, you won't need to apply all of the kit.You may need 2 kits to saturate your hair if you have long hair.You can buy a kit at beauty supply stores.If your hair is discolored, you may want to use a color removal product.
Step 4: Extreme cases of over-toning should be washed with a bleach wash.
In a large bowl, mix 10 volume developer with bleach powder.Add an equal amount of the bleach mixture to the regular shampooing and put it into your palm.You can massage the mixture into your hair and let it sit for 1-2 minutes before rinsing it out.The stronger the bleach mixture is, the stronger your hair will be.Bleach washing is the most damaging technique, so only use it in severe cases.A bleach wash will remove the purple tint from your hair.Don't leave the mixture on your hair for more than a few minutes since it's really strong.
Step 5: Don't let purple toners sit on your hair for too long.
Be sure to read and follow the product instructions for purple shampoos and conditioners because they come in a range of strengths.It can be tempting to let your hair sit for a while, but applying too much and letting it sit too long are the most common causes of over-toning.After washing your hair, give it a good rinse.If you don't thoroughly rinse your hair after application, it's another way to get lilac-tinted hair.
Step 6: Limit how often you use purple.
The product instructions should be read.Tone hair/conditioners should not be used because they are too strong.Depending on the strength of the product, most products suggest applying every other wash, once a week, or once every few weeks.
Step 7: Wait 1-2 weeks after coloring before using purple sulfate.
If you just dyed your hair blonde, you don't need to use a purple conditioner right away.After a few weeks, your original toner will start to fade.Once you see the yellow tones creeping into your hair, it's time to start using your purple shampoo and conditioner.If you aren't sure when to start using purple, mixing a little bit in with your regular hair product is a good way to avoid using too much.
Step 8: To correct yellow tones, use a purple hair product.
Yellow tones in your hair can only be mitigated by the purple pigment in toners.If you try to cancel out red and orange tones with purple, you may end up making them even warmer.If you have orange hair, use a blue cleanser andconditioner.There is a green cleanser that can be used to correct red undertones.If you have yellow and orange hair, look for a purple hair wash that has blue color added to it.
