How to remove yellowness from hair? The question that almost every blonde asks herself, striving to get the perfect hair color without warm shades. There are many options for dealing with yellow hair, but to choose your own, you must first find the cause of its occurrence. Of course, each case has its nuances, but the most common causes are:
1) Violated painting technology
This reason is the most common. If you dye your hair with a professional colorist, in this case, the risk of yellowness will be minimal. Remember that even a slight violation of the technology can cause an undesirable effect.
2) Hard water
Hard water containing impurities from salts or metals can cause an unpleasant yellow-red hue. When washing off the paint, water easily gets into open scales and interacts with chemicals, resulting in yellowing.
3) Poor quality of paint
Entrust the coloring of your hair to a professional who is well-versed in the formulas and the interaction of chemicals. Suppose you decide to dye your hair blonde on your own. In that case, we advise you to consult a hairdresser and learn more about the peculiarities of the procedure at home. Your result depends on the quality of cosmetic products by almost 90%, so choose products from professional lines, the formulas of which are rich in micronutrients.
How to get rid of yellowness after dyeing at home?
If the dyeing procedure was not quite successful, and the hair has acquired a yellow tint - do not rush to get upset because we know how to solve this problem at home. There are a large number of products whose action is aimed at painting over problem areas and giving the curls a uniform color. The most popular means for neutralizing yellowness is shampoo. Toning shampoo with a purple tint is designed to neutralize unwanted yellow pigment. It will provide blondes with the desired pure natural color.
If you regularly lighten your hair, you know that careful care is needed for bleached strands. The reason is that solid oxidants are used for bleaching, which harms the hair structure and can significantly spoil its appearance.
Vitael Specialist Anti-Yellow Shampoo for blondes is specially designed to provide quality care for light, bleached and gray hair. The product guarantees gentle cleansing and effectively neutralizes the unpleasant yellow tint that appears on the strands. The ingredients included in the formula maintain a cool tone and protect the brightness of the shade of colored hair for a long time. Anti-Yellowness Shampoo is an indispensable product if you are the owner of white, highlighted, or dyed hair. It is also perfect for use after bleaching procedures.
The cosmetic product protects hair from the aggressive effects of external factors that cause the yellowing of strands. Rice proteins included in the formula increase the elasticity of the strands and strengthen the hair fiber, preventing split ends and breakage. Active ingredients strengthen hair follicles, give the desired volume, and make curls silky and shiny.
How to prevent the appearance of yellowness?
- Postpone the coloring procedure for 14 days if you have just done a long-term straightening or other method using chemicals;
- We recommend bleaching dark hair in salon conditions;
- Delay the dyeing procedure if the strands were previously dyed with natural dyes. The best option is to wait until the hair grows back completely;
- After bleaching, you need to fill the "empty areas" with tone because, due to the high porosity, the strands can be saturated with any substances from water or air;
- Smooth the structure and close the cuticle. To do this, choose masks that include purple or blue pigments because they prevent the appearance of yellow shades.

In addition, we recommend that you refrain from hot styling in the first few days after dyeing and try to do this procedure as little as possible. Hair dryers, irons, or curling irons are very harmful to hair, which is already weakened and sensitive. Not the best option would be styling cosmetics because they may contain alcohol in the formula, so carefully study the composition when buying cosmetics.
Yellowness after bleaching can occur for many reasons, ranging from lack of knowledge about dyeing (discoloration) to improper preparation before the procedure or the choice of shade. You can quickly get rid of yellowness with the help of professional cosmetics, as well as folk remedies. If nothing helps to eliminate the unwanted shadow, then the best option would be to contact the salon and find out why.
