If you often have your hair bleached and have either an all over bleach or highlights you may find that sometimes they look a like yellow or brassy. It may be that when they were first bleached you didn’t have a toner, or it has washed out or maybe overtime it seems to get more and more brassy. Don’t despair if this is the case as often there are some things you can do very easily that will make a big difference.

When trying to correct a colour out of your hair you first need to discover what colour is opposite it on the colour wheel. In this case the colours yellow and orange are opposite purple or blue. That means that purple or blue will cancel out the other tones. You can opt for a salon tonner to correct this but you may not have time to have that done. If this is the case, then you can often improve the look of it by using a purple or blue shampoo. There are various ones available to buy and it is advisable to follow the instructions carefully on the back of the bottle. Some of them can be quite strong so you may need to wear gloves to apply it to avoid your hands becoming stained.
