How to Restore Pink Hair after Toning or Bleaching?
Don’t be worried if your hair turns pink after toning or bleaching; it’s not uncommon. The majority of the time, you’ll want to do more of what you’re already doing. This is where we’ll explain what that implies.
Don’t be concerned about anything. Pink hair can be easily fixed in a few simple steps.
If you’ve already tried and failed to remove pink hair color, you should try a different, more time-consuming method. I’ll tell you everything you need to know right here.
Pink dye removal is a time-consuming operation that demands a lot of patience.
There are four steps to it:
- Use a clarifying shampoo to wash your hair.
- You should bleach your hair.
- Use a green toner.
- Use a green shampoo to wash your hair.
Let’s have a look at the supplies you’ll need before we get into the step-by-step instructions.
GETTING RID OF PINK HAIR AFTER BLEACHING
#1 Using of clarifying shampoo
Depending on how pink your hair is, you’ll want to use a different approach. You can use a clarifying shampoo if it’s a very light pink.
The residue and product buildup are removed by using a clarifying shampoo. A clarifying shampoo can eliminate enough pink from your hair to make it undetectable if it isn’t very pink.
Clarifying shampoos can change the color of your hair and are the most effective at eliminating deposited pigment. If you just have pink hair and the rest is dyed a different color, be careful how you apply this shampoo because it can change the color of your hair dye.
Keep in mind that a clarifying shampoo should not be used like a regular shampoo. Its cleansing properties make it sound like something you’d want to use all the time, but it’s actually designed to remove product buildup.
It will begin removing anything beneath that layer once it has stripped your hair of built-up dirt. As a result, the clarifying shampoo might deplete your hair of all nutrients and cause it to become overly dry.
When you’ve been using a lot of products or had recent procedures done on your hair, you should just use it to cleanse it. Alternatively, as in this case, to assist in the removal of pink-colored pigments from your hair.
#2. Increase the amount of bleach you use.
If your hair is still quite pink after the clarifying wash, more bleach may be your best option. After what just transpired, you might not be too eager to do this, but it’s the best solution.
Your hair did not turn pink as a result of the bleach. Even if you only see a solid brown or black in the mirror, your hair is made up of many different colors.Brown hair already contains a lot of red and pink color. When you didn’t leave the bleach on long enough, it probably exposed some natural pigment.
Adding extra bleach for a suitable amount of time (approximately 30 minutes at the pink stage) will get your hair to the yellow base you were aiming for. You’ll have yellow hair (with some pink undertones) after this, so you’ll need to move on to the toner stage.
Before you move on to the toning portion, keep in mind that you should avoid using more bleach right after your first bleaching attempt. Bleach dries hair out a lot. Before bleaching again, let it have some time to recuperate. If you want to avoid harming your hair, wait about a week.
#3 Tone Down the Pink!
If you still have pink tones in your hair (though they should be greatly reduced by now), you can tone them out using a neutralizing color or toning shampoo. Pink’s polar opposite on the color wheel is green, which can be used to cancel it out.
If you need to neutralize a lot of pink, use a green-based color and toning shampoo. This should be done after you’ve used the clarifying shampoo and bleach.
Apply your green hair mask, then wash with a green-toning shampoo until you achieve the hue you want. As you use the green toner and the pink fades from your bleached hair, you should have an ashy blonde.
When applying the toner, take care. You’re applying it to bleached, bright pink hair at this point. It has a hint of green in it, and your hair is light. If you leave it on for too long, your hair will turn green. To avoid green hair, use the green shampoo as you would any other shampoo.
#4 Maintenance And Care
Red, pink, purple, and magenta are persistent colors.
Even after all of your efforts, they could make a reappearance. This is the purpose of toning shampoo!
It’s simple to use: simply switch out your usual shampoo for the toning shampoo.
It should be used every time you wash your hair, whether you do it everyday or every other day.
Rinse after using the shampoo and letting it sit for five minutes.
Unlike clarifying shampoo, toning shampoo should be fine to use in the shower.
The pink will go away after a few applications.
HOW DO I GET RID OF PINK HAIR AFTER BLEACHING?
You can color your hair or leave it as is, with the ash-blonde left by the green toner and toning shampoo.
Apply a moisturizer, such as coconut or argan oil, masks, or split-end repair treatments, after all.
CONCLUSION
Fixing pink hair after toning or bleaching is a pain, but it’s simple. You can use any of the methods described here, but they should be used in the sequence listed.
Begin by using the clarifying shampoo to observe how much color is left. If you don’t need to use any more bleach or toner after that, you can save time and effort. You don’t require toner if the color corrects after bleaching.
So take your time, be patient, and pay attention to the instructions. You don’t want to overcompensate when it comes to green hair. That’s a completely different method of removal.
