How to tint the yellowness after clarification?
One of the most common problems encountered by the fair sex after lightening curls is the appearance of yellowness. An undesirable effect may appear due to various reasons, among which are the use of low-quality formulations and a violation of the time regime of the procedure.
Peculiarities
Unfortunately, in most cases, after bleaching, an unwanted yellow tint appears on the hair. In the fight against this unpleasant phenomenon, both special formulations and folk methods will help. Sometimes ladies even decide to dye their hair back in a darker shade.
Among the main reasons for the appearance of yellow in clarified curls, the following can be distinguished.
- The hair dye contains ammonia.
- Powerful pigmentation that occurs in dark-haired women.
- Violation of the temporary regime of the procedure.
- Low quality coloring composition. Inexpensive paints in most cases will not be able to turn dark strands into light ones. Not only will they not be able to help achieve the desired result, but they will also pretty much spoil the hair.
- Poor quality of water used to rinse hair after dyeing.
- Illiterate clarification technique. This happens most often with dark hair. Discoloration of dark chestnut and dark blond strands is carried out in several stages. Strands will not become light from one procedure.
- Ignoring the recommendations for preparing hair for lightening can also lead to undesirable effects. An inexperienced girl may not have enough professionalism for a sufficiently high-quality lightening. Therefore, before the home staining procedure, it is recommended to contact the professionals for help or advice.
It is possible to tint the yellowness after lightening with compositions containing a purple pigment.
You can prevent yellow strands by following a few simple guidelines.
- Only healthy curls can be lightened. Initially, you need to get rid of split hairs, since in this case the lightening composition will lie unevenly. As a result, the roots will have one color and the tips will have a different color.
- A couple of weeks before dyeing, do not perm and other similar procedures.
- Representatives of the fair sex with dark hair will, in any case, get a yellow tone after lightening. But in order to minimize the danger to hair after dyeing, it is recommended to consult with a colorist who will select a high-quality dye.
- When choosing a coloring agent, it is better to consult with experienced colorist-stylists who know everything about their properties.
- It is recommended to give preference to paints that do not contain ammonia. In this case, a very light tone may not work, but there will definitely not be yellowness.
- The clarification process should be carried out in several stages. The procedure is followed by toning.
In order to avoid unpleasant consequences in the form of yellowness, you should know some lightening rules.
- The lightening composition is applied starting from the back of the head, since this part of the head is discolored for the longest time. This is followed by the front part and only then - the temporal zones.
- Before lightening, it is necessary to remove pigment from colored hair using a remover.
- Staining should not be carried out for very long. You can adhere to the following recommendation: initially the middle part is stained, and after a few minutes - the roots. The dye should be kept on the hair for no more than 15 minutes. The coloring composition is washed off with special products for colored hair.
- If this is already a re-clarification, the process should begin with regrown roots. The coloring composition should be used more often than once a month.
Special means
Today, various products are available that help eliminate yellowness after discoloration. However, none of them can still guarantee the complete removal of the yellow color from the curls, since each girl has a different susceptibility to different colors. Therefore, it is necessary to experiment with the compositions, but not particularly get carried away with it.
"Silver Shampoo" with the content of violet pigment helps to neutralize yellowness and enhance the light tone. Such formulations are sold in many cosmetic departments marked with Silver shampoo. Despite their high efficiency, they have one significant drawback - when overexposed, the curls are painted lilac. Special shampoos not only neutralize the yellowness of the hair, but also strengthen and protect the curls.
The price range of such drugs is an order of magnitude higher than the cost of conventional shampoos, but the effect is much stronger.
You can paint over the yellowness at home using special tonics and pearl, pearl balms. They also contribute to the toning of the strands, but their price is relatively low. This is due to the fact that the effect of tinted curls will not last long. It is worth washing your hair a couple of times, and the yellowness will return again.
When using tint balms, in order to avoid aggravating the problem, you must follow these recommendations:
- for applying a sufficiently small amount of the composition;
- strands should be slightly moisturized;
- the composition should be washed off after a couple of minutes, the maximum time is 4 minutes;
- hair must be rinsed thoroughly and with plenty of water;
- for weakened hair, a nourishing mask is applied after the procedure.
By following these tips, you can get healthy and beautiful curls.
- To correct hair color, it is not enough to use special formulations. It is also necessary to rinse your hair correctly.Experts recommend using only clean filtered or carbonated water for this. A good result can be achieved by adding rhubarb tincture or squeezed lemon juice to the water.
- In addition to the factory-made formulations, it is recommended to make various masks that are considered highly effective. They will not only remove unpleasant yellowness, but also enhance the color.
All of the above tips to one degree or another will help with incorrect lighting. However, each person has their own characteristics, therefore, such procedures may have to be repeated more than once.
