How to remove a redhead from hair after dyeing

Hair coloring is not always perfect, especially at home. After several hours after the procedure, women notice that an undesirable red shade has appeared, which is not so easy to remove. Consider the basic principles of eliminating redheads and possible errors.

The reasons for the appearance of a red tint:

• washing off paint with dubious preparations;
• a sharp transition from brunette to blonde through complete discoloration;
• dyeing hair at home, not guided by the color wheel.

Dyeing

It is not always possible to completely remove the copper shade, but it is quite possible to make it less noticeable. Contrast staining will help loosen the redhead. Taking the color wheel (palette), you will notice that in front of the orange color is blue-green. Depending on the depth of the copper shade, preference is given to blue and green colors in various proportions.

If you have fair colored hair, get an ash-colored dye, add 90% blue pigment and 10% green to it. If the redhead is bright enough, closer to yellow, green and blue tones will give the hair a brownish tint. The curls in this case will become 2 tones darker.

If you want to get an ashy shade, add only blue pigment. Note that its amount, excluding green, will make the color deeper and even darker. You can resort to the clarification procedure. Get a yellow shade, and then dye your hair in a gentle beige, honey, or light blond.

Dark-haired girls do not need preliminary clarification, just buy black paint without a red tint and add green pigment to it according to the instructions for the drug.

Hue Shampoos

Hue shampoos are distinguished by a careful attitude to hair and are the most gentle way to get rid of redhead. Means are used in the same way as with contrasting staining, but they do not last very long on the hair. Women are forced to repeat the procedure once every two weeks to eliminate the copper shade.

Blondes need to give preference to silver and purple tinted shampoos, while brunettes will need a remedy against gray hair. Almost all shampoos give a cold shade, so the redhead will become less noticeable.

How to prevent redness

1. When painting, contact a professional, at least until you gain experience with the color wheel. It is important to correctly determine the initial color, so that with the final result you do not grab your head.
2. Never lighten your hair yourself, especially black and chestnut shades.
3. If you came to the salon for a bleaching procedure, do not ask the master to do everything in one fell swoop. The procedure must be carried out in several stages (from 3 to 5).
4. Buy only professional paint and an oxidizing agent, they give a shade that is as similar as possible to the sample on the package, making it easier to predict the result.

The shade of persistent dyes consists of two to three numbers:

• The first digit is tone. For blondes, it is 8-10, for brunettes and brown-haired women from 1 to 7.
• The second digit is the primary color. From 0 to 1, the shade will be cold, from 2 to 7 - warm.
• The third digit is the complementary color. The range ranges from 0 to 7.

Can't get rid of the redhead? Make a mask of vodka or hydrogen peroxide, then wash your hair with a shampoo. You can also resort to contrasting coloring, adding green or blue shades in the necessary proportions. When using cosmetics, carefully read the instructions and never make a choice in favor of bleaching, especially for dark hair.
