Many blondes can tell you all about it, but older ladies with white hair also fear it: the yellow tint. In fact, white and blonde hair is particularly prone to appearing yellow. The yellow tint can have two causes. In many cases, it is an error in the application of the bleach. In addition, choosing the wrong base color is often to blame. Even rinsing several times after coloring doesn't help. You can either conceal yellow hair with a knitted hat or a baseball cap - or you can rely on our SOS tips.
THE DANGER OF BLEACHING - THE YELLOW TINT
You have chosen exactly the shade of blonde that suits you and your hair type. You let the bleach take effect - but after rinsing the bleach out, your hair looks strangely yellow. A disaster! Sometimes it is because the bleaching agent was not allowed to take effect long enough. Maybe because there was not enough time or because it was not applied correctly. Has this ever happened to you: You have applied the bleach and quickly look during the bleaching process to see how the hair tone has already changed. If the hair does not look blonde, but yellow or orange, you can be quite shocked. But then washing the bleach out is a mistake. Because it is in the nature of things that the lightening process during bleaching goes through several stages, such as orange, brown and yellow. The color gradations during the bleaching process can be very strong, especially with darker hair. This is because the individual color pigments are first pulled out of the hair during the lightening process.
OUR TIP:
Did you rinse out the bleach too early? Then you can counteract a possible yellow tint by using the same product to make up for the missing exposure time. This small correction does not have a damaging effect on the hair structure, but rather helps to reduce the dreaded yellow discoloration.
If you only notice the next day that your hair has turned yellow due to the dye, you can lighten it afterwards. Get a lightener from your trusted online shop and massage it in gently. However, you should be careful when choosing the color: If the lightening product is too light, it can not only affect the color result, but also damage the hair structure. In the worst case, this could even lead to hair breakage or hair loss. Unless you use a rich hair care product, such as a conditioner for damaged hair.
WHY SILVER SHAMPOO IS NOT ONLY POPULAR AMONG BLONDES
Silver shampoo is a special highlight in modern hair care. It cannot be compared to a normal shampoo. It contains violet color pigments that settle in the hair. When light hits it, it looks as if the yellow in the hair becomes invisible. This is known as the complementary effect. This simply neutralizes the yellow tint. Only use silver shampoo if you want to compensate for a yellow tint after bleaching. Due to its special composition, the shampoo roughens the hair structure. If used too often, the hair becomes dry, brittle and sometimes even fragile. To prevent all of this, you should finally apply a hair mask to freshly washed hair.
RECOMMENDED HOME REMEDIES
Most of the time, the product you need isn't available when you need it. Going out of your front door with a yellow tint in your hair to buy a silver shampoo from the drugstore around the corner isn't a particularly good idea. It's a good thing that there are grandmother's home remedies that can at least offer a "first aid effect" if the worst happens. You can use lemon juice, for example, to reduce the yellow tint. Depending on the length of your hair, squeeze one to three lemons and distribute the juice in your hair. After about half an hour, rinse the lemon juice out with plenty of lukewarm water. Ideally, the yellow tint will then have disappeared. If not, just repeat the process again.
OUR TIP:
Because lemon juice can have a drying effect, you should apply a hair mask afterward. It pampers your hair, moisturizes it, and supplies it with all the important nutrients.
If you don't have any lemons on hand, chamomile flowers will do. Whether freshly picked or in the form of chamomile tea bags: you just need to boil the fragrant herbs and let the brew cool. Then apply the liquid to your hair and leave it to work for around 20 to 30 minutes. Then rinse it out and then pamper your hair with a moisturizing hair treatment. By the way, did you know that chamomile flowers play a very special role in modern hair care? That's why they are also included in many hair care products, such as this hair shampoo from our store.
Whether it's silver shampoo or hair mask, conditioner or rinse - whichever hair care product you choose, it always comes down to quality. Which of our hair care products makes your heart beat faster?
