Prevent the appearance of yellowness on the hair
Of course, it’s easier to prevent it from happeningyellowness, rather than getting rid of it. But how to do it? It is best to properly prepare for the lightening process in advance and minimize the likelihood of an unpleasant yellow tint. And the first step is to assess the overall appearance of the hair. If your hair is prone to brittleness, dryness and split ends, then before lightening it, you need to carry out a set of restorative procedures - this will help to avoid disastrous consequences in the future. To do this, use medicinal masks and conditioners, sprays and shampoos. It is best to buy such products in pharmacies. Do not forget that if you have recently had a perm, then it is better to wait with lightening for now. The hair has experienced a kind of stress, after which it needs time to recover. Three to four weeks is enough. When planning to lighten your hair, take into account its natural color. In general, dyed hair is quite difficult to lighten - the likelihood that it will turn yellow or red is too high. Here it is very important to consult with a hairdresser and find out what kind of paint is needed specifically in your case. Now about the rules of lightening. The paint is applied first from the back of the head, because this is where the coloring is slower than in other areas. After that, the middle part of the head is dyed, and the temples and bangs - at the end. If you lighten your hair yourself, then apply the paint as quickly as possible. Remember that the coloring should be uniform so that the head does not turn out "spotty". Usually, the roots are processed about twenty minutes after the middle part of the head has been dyed. This is if the lightening is done for the first time. If it is repeated, then first we dye the roots, and then the rest of the hair. There is no need to intensively dye the roots - with excessive lightening they can be seriously damaged. Following such simple advice, you will insure yourself against the appearance of yellowness on your hair. The correct choice of a lightening or coloring product is also important. You should not save money here. The quality of the paint depends on many factors, the first of which is the manufacturer of the cosmetic product. Give preference to professional brands, not cheap cosmetics of unknown origin. In addition, it is necessary to remember that the lightening agent only bleaches the hair, but the paint is designed to simultaneously bleach the hair and give it the desired shade. Today, there are also special tonics on sale, the purpose of which is to rid the hair of yellowness after bleaching.
Stages of the procedure of lightening of hair
Now let's look at how to do it correctlyhair lightening, as the final result also depends on it. The main advice is not to wash the stripes before dyeing. When applying the lightener to your hair, divide it into four parts. The first parting is from ear to ear, the second - from the middle of the forehead to the middle of the neck. First, apply the lightener to the back of the head, as mentioned earlier. After that, apply the dye to all the partings. It is better to apply the lightener to the temples and the area above the forehead at the end of dyeing, because there are the thinnest and weakest hairs that lighten quickly. The thicker, denser and fuller your hair, the smaller the strands to which you apply the lightening products should be. This will allow the cosmetics to be absorbed into each hair. Otherwise, the dyeing will be uneven. If you are bleaching for the first time, then you must first apply the product to the hair itself, holding the dye for twenty-five minutes, then apply it to the roots (literally three centimeters) and hold for another ten to fifteen minutes. Try to dye the ends of your hair as little as possible to prevent them from drying out and splitting. Lighten your hair no more than once a month.
Get rid of yellowness
If the yellowness does make itself known, thenyou need to know how to deal with it. The first method is to use a special shampoo, which, due to the components in its composition, allows you to remove the unpleasant yellow tint from your hair. This shampoo combines the functions of both a shampoo and a tonic. Your task is to choose a coloring agent of the desired shade. In order to achieve the maximum effect, it would be a good idea to consult a specialist when choosing a tonic. There are cases when you need to remove the yellow tint from dark-colored hair, but doing the same with light hair is much more difficult. You can add a toning shampoo to the one you used before. The proportion is 1:3. This composition is softer, and you only need to keep it for a couple of minutes. Hairdressers advise choosing a tinting shampoo to opt for shades such as pearl or ash - they are the most natural. Do not forget that you should not keep such a shampoo on for too long, otherwise the hair will acquire an even more incomprehensible, unnatural shade. There are also folk remedies that have proven themselves to be no worse than professional cosmetics. A honey mask is the first option. You will need only one component - honey. Choose linden or flower. Honey is applied to the hair for ten hours, so it is advisable to do this procedure in the evening so that you have enough time - in the morning, the honey can be washed off. Put a polyethylene cap on your head. In addition to the fact that honey allows you to remove yellowness, it strengthens the hair structure, making it shiny and soft. You can also get rid of yellowness with the help of onion peel. You need to prepare a decoction of a fairly high concentration. Just like in the first case, apply it to the hair and leave it on overnight. It cannot be said that this remedy copes well with yellowness of hair, like shampoo or honey; however, if the problem is not too serious and the yellowness is insignificant, onion peel will show its effect. In addition, it is useful to rinse your hair with a healthy and strengthening chamomile decoction several times a week after washing it with regular or tinted shampoo. It lightens both dyed and natural wheat or light brown hair, giving it a healthy shine, softness and silkiness. As you can see, getting rid of yellow hair is not as difficult as it may seem. But it is easier to prevent such a problem than to try to get rid of it in every possible way later. By taking care of your hair and providing it with the right and competent comprehensive care, you will ensure that your light hair will always remain an object of admiration for others!
