Tonic for yellow hair

Problems with yellowness appear in almost all girls who regularly dye their hair. Very often, after highlighting, instead of cold white, unpleasant yellow shades appear even in ashy brown-haired women and natural blondes. To understand how to deal with this scourge, you need to remember what happens to the hair during dyeing.

At the heart of any process of intensive color change is the use of an oxidizing agent, whose task is to open the scales, penetrate to the rod and dissolve the natural pigment.

Exceeding the terms of staining, mixing paints or frequent bleaching procedures leads to the same effect. Therefore, one or two washes of the head and the dye is easily washed out, the natural color begins to show through the remaining paint, which in many cases gives yellow shades.

The porosity of the hair structure allows all substances to settle and be fixed on it, for example, the smallest impurities of rust or chlorine from tap water, dust and dirt.The head has to be washed more often, and ordinary shampoos and balms contain their own active substances, which, when interacting, react and give unexpected, not always pleasant shades.

For the same reasons, it is mandatory to tint bleached hair and lighten the strands. After all, it is better to fill the porous structure of the hair with the necessary color shade than to rely on chance.

To avoid the appearance of yellowness, you must adhere to the basic rules:

• follow the coloring instructions;
• after coloring, highlighting, keratin straightening, chemical or biowave, lighten hair no earlier than two weeks later;
• do not lighten hair immediately after dyeing, even if natural henna and basma were used;
• in case of a radical change in color, wash off the old one. This procedure can only be carried out by a specialist.

It is not possible to reanimate yellowed hair in all cases.: attempts to achieve the desired result at all costs lead to hair loss or a haircut. If there is hope, getting rid of jaundice, the hair needs to be treated.

There are many recipes that our grandmothers and mothers tested on themselves: rinsing after washing with water with a small amount of vinegar, hydrogen peroxide or soda. Green tea, dry white wine or vodka are also added.

Careful restoration with clarification is also provided by masks with honey, kefir, clay, mixed with lemon juice. However, it is worth remembering that the scalp after active chemical reactions remains without a protective layer and you need to be careful about the use of components that are sharp in effect. Lemon must be softened, for example, with oils or glycerin.

Compound: kefir (with the expectation to cover their hair along the entire length), a little lemon juice and one yolk to soften it.

The ingredients are mixed until smooth and applied to the hair. After half an hour, wash off with warm water (not hot, at a high temperature the scales open) and rinse the hair. Burning should not be, at the first symptoms immediately wash off!

Compound: one tablespoon of natural honey (can be melted) and five tablespoons of white clay.

The components are gently mixed until a homogeneous mass is obtained (like thick sour cream) and applied to clean bleached hair or strands. Keep under a film or foil for about an hour, wash off with shampoo.

Folk recipes for masks, rinses and decoctions can have the effect of lightening hair, or, on the contrary, can aggravate the situation with color - chemistry, in a word. A test on one strand will protect against new problems.

The best way out is to contact a specialist. There are contraindications for many methods of restoration, as well as staining, eliminating yellowness, only a professional will be able to accurately assess the condition of the skin and hair, choose the necessary preparations and the method of treatment.
