If you’ve dyed your hair a shade of red and now regret it, you’re probably looking for ways to neutralise the colour. While it’s best to get professional help from a colourist to get rid of unwanted red tones in your hair, it’s possible to do it yourself at home. Here’s how to neutralise red tones in your hair in the comfort of your own home.
Neutralize Red Tones
Choose the Right Color-Depositing Shampoo
The easiest and least time-consuming way to neutralise red tones in your hair is to use a colour-depositing shampoo. These shampoos come in a range of colours, so you’ll need to choose one that is the opposite of the current red tone in your hair. If your hair is a bright red, look for a green-tinted shampoo. If your hair is a dark red, look for a blue tinted shampoo.
Apply the Color-Depositing Shampoo
Once you’ve chosen the right colour-protecting shampoo, it’s time to apply it. Start by wetting your hair with warm water, then apply the shampoo and work it into a lather. Allow the shampoo to sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse with cool water. Repeat this process once or twice a week until you’re happy with the colour.
Use a Toning Shampoo
Another way to neutralise red tones in your hair is to use a toning shampoo. Toning shampoos are designed to balance out unwanted tones in your hair. Choose one that is specifically designed to neutralise red tones, then apply and rinse like any other shampoo.
Use a Color Remover
If the above methods don’t give you the results you’re looking for, try using a colour remover. These products work by removing the pigment from your hair, so it’s important to do a strand test before using them all over your head. If the results are satisfactory, you can then apply the colour remover to your hair and leave it on for the recommended time.
Try a Color-Depositing Conditioner
Finally, you can try using a colour-depositing conditioner to neutralise red tones in your hair. These conditioners contain pigments that help neutralise unwanted red tones and can be used instead of a regular conditioner. Simply apply the conditioner to your hair and leave for a few minutes before rinsing.
Neutralising red tones in your hair at home can be a tricky process, so it’s important to be patient and take your time. With the right products and a little patience, you should be able to get the colour you’re looking for. We wish you the best of luck!
