Additionally, the problem with getting orange hair after bleaching is that it\u2019s not even a nice and pretty orange, like a natural ginger hair. Instead, orange hair after bleaching is usually patchy and uneven, with different shades of orange throughout, with little to no shine, and with an overall tired and lifeless look.<\/p>\n
So, what can you do about that? Going to the hairstylist can be both expensive and time-consuming, so let\u2019s look into how to get rid of orange hair after bleaching at home.<\/p>\n
What does hair turn orange after bleaching?<\/h2>\n
To know how to get rid of orange hair we must first find out why our hair turns orange in the first place \u2013 \u201cknow your enemy\u201d and so on.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve bleached your hair before and it hasn\u2019t turned orange you may be wondering what we are talking about. Fortunately for you and unfortunately for the rest of us, 80% of people end up with different shades of brassy orange after bleaching and have to deal with it while the lucky 20% can move on with their lives without that problem on their heads.<\/p>\n
The reason different people end up with different hair colors after bleaching is in the underlying pigments in our hair. Bleach lightens our hairs by targeting its color, yes, but it doesn\u2019t target the underlying pigments of the hair<\/strong><\/em>. So, if the pigments of your hair are reddish or orange, which is the case with most people with darker hair, then you\u2019ll end up with a different type of orange on your head after bleaching. That\u2019s ironic as it\u2019s usually people with darker hair that need to bleach their hair the most before they can dye it.<\/p>\n These underlying color pigments are not the only reason why your hair might turn orange, however. Mineral buildup can also be a factor \u2013 if you\u2019re using hair care products that contain a lot of sulfates, chances are that you\u2019ll end up with an orange hair after bleaching even if you have a naturally light and blond hair.<\/p>\n Now onto the practical part. If you end up with a patch and uneven orange mess after bleaching, and you\u2019re distraught that you\u2019ll have to empty your wallets at the hair stylist\u2019s table, fear not \u2013 there are plenty of DIY home remedies that can help you out. Not only that, but there are commercial products and methods that you can also easily apply at home if you want, even though for some of them we\u2019d definitely recommend going to a professional.<\/p>\n So, let\u2019s get started with our first suggestion:<\/p>\n The sole purpose of hair toner is to fix your hair\u2019s color and lack of shine after bleaching. Some toners are meant to get rid of warmer colors like an orange while others are designed to deal with colder colors. So, if orange is your current problem, using hair toner for orange hair is one of the best solutions.<\/p>\n Simply using a box dye can easily fix the problem of having a patchy bits of orange or yellow in your hair after bleaching. What color covers orange hair, however? This depends on the exact shade of orange you\u2019re dealing with but typically, cooler blueish colors counteract orange while violet and purple<\/a> oppose yellow. It\u2019s important that you choose the right color for your particular shade of orange, as well as to consider the exact color you want to end up with.<\/p>\n Either way, if you just want to get rid of the orange hues in your hair, dyeing it is a great step to take.<\/p>\n This is something that we don\u2019t usually recommend for people to do at home as hair bleaching is an incredibly invasive and damaging procedure even if you do it right. Repeated hair bleaching, in particular, can devastate your hair very quickly and severely<\/strong><\/em> so we\u2019 definitely recommend that you contact a professional instead.<\/p>\n However, when it comes to getting rid of orange hair after bleaching, we can\u2019t deny that a secondary bleaching is an effective method. Just make sure that you wait at least 2 weeks (for healthy hair, more for exhausted or weaker hair) before you apply bleach on your hair. Also, make sure that you\u2019re using a more medium or weaker strength bleach such as vol 10 or 20 as you don\u2019t want to completely ruin your hair by repeatedly applying a strong bleach.<\/p>\n Of the more natural options, we\u2019d recommend either mixing a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with one ounce of hollyhock herbs and a cup of water. A 10-minute massage with this hot mixture will have a visible effect on the orange pigment of your hair and cool it off.<\/p>\n Alternatively, you can just use apple cider vinegar with a couple of tablespoons of coconut oil and a few drops of purple or blue food liquid color as this will achieve a similar result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The premise of this whole article may feel a little bit like we\u2019re hating on gingers but that\u2019s absolutely not the case \u2013 curly ginger hair is absolutely gorgeous and we do want to see more of it around us! However, there is a reason why a lot of people want to know how to get rid of orange hair at home. When you\u2019re bleaching your hair you usually have a certain goal in mind \u2013 a color you want to end up.

A good hair toner will neutralize the brassy orange and yellow tones of your hair by depositing a translucent color to your hair to counteract the orange hues. You can mix it with peroxide if it doesn\u2019t already contain it to further bleach your hair if you want but we\u2019d generally advise against it unless you already have experience with such procedures. Simply toning your hair with a mild toner that\u2019s right for your hair color and hair type should be more than enough to do the trick.<\/p>\nRe-color your hair<\/h3>\n
