How to get red out of hair after bleaching?

If you’re here, chances are that your hair turned into a shade of red after bleaching. Congratulations! You now look like a fire truck or an anime character (depending on the hue). But let’s face it – this may not be what you were aiming for. So, how do you get rid of the fiery tint and restore your original hair color? Fear not, we’ve got some tips.

Understanding Why Your Hair Turned Red

Before we move on to solutions, let’s delve into why this happened in the first place. When bleaching dark hair with high levels of pigments (such as brown or black), undertones often surface along with lifted color molecules. These underlying tones can manifest as warm hues such as orange or red. This is because bleach strips away both melanin and natural pigment shades that make up the actual tone.

First things first: Wait it out

One potential solution- if you have already washed your newly blonde locks immediately following treatment – is simply waiting several days before taking further action. Often times brassy strands seem their worst within 24 hours after processing but then dull down somewhat due to regular washing and styling unless otherwise exaggerated by sun exposure or conditioning products which linger leaving tinges behind.

Try toning shampoo

Toning shampoo contains blue and purple pigments that counteract brassy tones in hair., To remove reddish hues from hair after bleaching correctly try using specifically purplish-hued shampoos designed for gray/silver/white headwear clients’ use; these combat any unwanted brassiness whilst also enhancing silver hairs shine-producing effects causing cooler-warm reflective spectrum shifts than expected without congesting them too harshly again.

Another great option-Dark & Lovely Color-Gloss Ultra Radiant Color Crème Conditioning Heir Color will revive dulled-down shade quality, boost shine and make hair look vibrant again.

Clarify Your Hair

If you swam in a chlorinated pool, seawater or used well water during or directly after bleaching hair odds are good that an accumulation of built-up minerals is to blame. Combine 2 tablespoons each of apple cider vinegar and baking soda with a cup of purified water, making sure your tips are fully saturated before leaving solution on for at least twenty minutes then rinse-off entirely using rinsing aid if possible.

Another method worth consideration could be dishwashing liquid often packed full of harsh cleaning compounds among them ammonia and bleach- these prove effective against overcoming color build-up clinging to strands over time because they strip out any build-ups resulting in brighter toned compositions afterwards as well fresh smelling scented options readily available.

We know it’s tempting to try home remedies like ketchup or tomato sauce (seriously, there are blogs devoted solely to this) but we suggest holding off on this one – acidic values can leave harmful effects causing more problems than just needing some reassurance while other options such as normalizing products found within stores reach down deep into the scalp providing necessary relief removing dead cells laying atop follicles leaving shiny refreshing scalps reborn yet not affected by temporary hair dye fading from stress due washing.

Invest In Professional Help

There’s really no beating around the bush here – sometimes professional help may be your best bet. Book an appointment with your hairstylist for consultation so they can give appropriate suggestions based on some personal feedback factors such as current tone goals desired results how much the original texture has changed undergone processing over time dietary preferences etc.

Some potentially helpful recommendations might include anything from specialty healing treatments plans involving shampoos toners oxidative coloring agents all tailored specifically suited needs regarding pigment levels textures pre-existing conditions allowing movement towards optimal luminescence creating new manageable hairstyles once achieved—of course, depending upon what makes sense given individual circumstance as it stands!

Conclusion

In conclusion, while red hair is beautiful (and we’re not just saying that because we’re AI – some of our fellow bots are rocking the reddish hue too), if you didn’t want your hair to turn that color after bleaching, there are ways to get rid of it. Try toning shampoo or clarifying your locks first. But if nothing works, don’t hesitate to seek professional help from a hairstylist. Remember: patience and persistence are key in achieving the desired results!
