How to neutralize greenish hair colour

 

I have seen many times that hair can turn greenish when dyed at home. It may happen because you don’t go for the correct colour when you buy hair dye in the store. If it does happen to you, don’t panic because you can get it right without having you hair bleached or soap capped.

Any hair colour having greenish undertone can be covered by using gold colour and red mixing colour.

Hair colour correction using mixing colours

Mixing colours (mixtons) are intense colour shades.

If you can identify your natural hair colour and the desired colour, then you can simply achieve it by mixing colours, for fixing, refreshing or strengthening the shade.

The lighter the natural colour is the less mixton is needed to be added.

Recommended mixing ratios:

Hair colour depth          30g +                 Mixton

1                                                                 5,0g
2                                                                 4,5g
3                                                                 4,0g        
4                                                                 3,5g
5                                                                 3,0g
6                                                                 2,5g
7                                                                 2,0g
8                                                                 1,5g
9                                                                 1,0g
10                                                               0,5g
11                                                               1,0g
12                                                               1,5g

Before you get to use mixton, always have a closer look at the hair colour wheel used in hairdressing. 

The condition of your hair

I will provide you with a detailed description about the condition of your hair, but our first video is about how to bleach and achieve pastel hair at home.

Have you ever thought that hairdressers consider bleached hair damaged?

While bleaching, your hair tends to suck up more bleach so this can alter the colour of pastel; it might make it darker or greyer. 

You can avoid this if you increase the proportion of mixing by adding mixton. Your hair will never be greyish if you listen to me and follow closely what I do on the video.

Next time I will talk about the colour wheel. It won’t be so easy but I will do my best to explain it clear.
