It's summer and we are having our hair bleached en masse. That looks fresh and sunny, as long as it doesn't get too yellow. Suffering from yellow hair? With these 7 low budget home remedies for yellow hair you get a beautiful and natural blonde color.
When you finally have your long-hoped-for hair color, you will see a yellow or even orange glow appear after a few weeks. In the worst case, your hair can even turn completely yellow. There are several reasons that your hair discolors after a while. This can happen under the influence of UV radiation, chlorinated water or simply a wrong estimate of the reaction time. If you notice at the hairdresser that your hair is turning out more blond than desired, you can ask the hairdresser to treat it immediately. Once you are home, you can get started with the 7 low budget home remedies for yellow hair below.
You can of course run to the store and get a bottle of silver shampoo to tackle the yellow. Or you can buy a toner that makes your color less bright. Both products are of course an option, but sometimes it is enough if you use home-garden kitchen remedies. Not only do they cost much less, they are often also a lot better for your hair.
1. Olive oil
Not an obvious remedy, but you can really make your hair less yellow with it. Use olive oil in the evening before going to sleep. Make sure you have a bath cap to protect your pillow from oil stains. Rinse your hair thoroughly the next morning. The olive oil not only pulls the yellow glow out of your hair, but also makes your hair soft and supple.
2. Lemon juice
Lemon juice is used to dye hair in a natural way. Lemon is disinfectant and provides a lighter color. It also seems to be a miracle cure if your hair has turned out just a little too yellow. How does it work?
Take a lemon and squeeze the juice from it. Mix this with 50 ml of water. Pour the mixture over your hair and let it soak in for a while. Rinse thoroughly so that no residue is left behind. Note:Do not use this home remedy too often as it can damage both your hair and scalp. Lemon is quite sour.
3. Baking soda
How simple and especially cheap do you want it to be? To remove that annoying yellow glow, you need nothing more than baking soda. Make a paste of some baking soda (use lukewarm water). Divide this mixture over your dry hair and leave it on for 30 minutes. Rinse your hair thoroughly after the treatment and use a conditioner. Baking soda can dry out your hair, so don't use it too often.
4. Honey
It may sound crazy, but honey is not only healthy but can also act as a toner. Mix the honey in a ratio of 1:1 with water. Divide this mass on your hair. Note:it is quite sticky, so preferably do this over a sink, under the shower or bath. Let the honey mixture soak for an hour. Rinse well and wash your hair with shampoo. Not only does it have an effect on your hair color, but it is also a healthy vitamin boost for your hair.
5. Aspirin
Thought aspirin was only for when you're in pain? Then you're wrong. Aspirin contains acetylsalicylic acid. This substance ensures that the color is pulled out of your hair (often used as a home remedy if a coloring has not had the desired result). Aspirin makes your hair shine again.
For use in your hair, take two aspirin tablets that you dissolve in water. Effervescent tablets work perfectly. Pour the water over your hair and let it soak for 30 minutes. Rinse and enjoy radiant blond hair.
6. Chamomile tea
Like lemon, chamomile is also used to lighten hair in a natural way. To remove yellow glow from your hair preferably use fresh chamomile. Sprinkle a generous amount of chamomile in almost boiling hot water. Once the water has cooled to lukewarm, you can put it in your hair. Massage well and leave in your hair for about 10 minutes. Rinse after 10 minutes, no shampooing is necessary. For best results, you should repeat this treatment a number of times.
7. Apple cider vinegar n
Vinegar is a real all-rounder that you can use for household and health. In this case, you should use apple cider vinegar. Apple cider vinegar removes the yellow glow from your hair and also provides a healthy shine.
Mix 5 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with 2 tablespoons and pour it over your hair. Leave it on for about 30 minutes and then rinse your hair thoroughly. You don't have to be afraid of the smell:it disappears the moment you rinse your hair.
