#2: Bad Blonde Color Correction

It’s not a surprise that blonde is one of the most demanding and expensive hair colors. Essentially, you need to find a good, reliable hairstylist. Please, make sure you have seen their portfolio before you sit in the chair. However, everyone can sometimes make a mistake, just like the one you can see in the picture below.

Advertisement How to fix the blonde hair that has gone wrong? Well, color correcting blonde hair can be challenging even for an experienced professional. Be ready to spend 3-6 hours in the salon: during this time, your hairdresser will cleanse, bleach, and tone your hair in order to get rid of color banding, uneven tone and brassiness. Undoubtedly, this is not a job you could do at home.

#3: Too Ashy Tone Correction

Even though many blonde girls give preference to cool shades, ash and platinum blonde doesn’t look flattering on those with warmer skin tones. Excessively ashy toner is a very common issue – it’s often hard to see the actual color while hair is wet, so rinsing the toner can be a matter of seconds. Dry and porous hair is particularly prone to quick absorption of the toner.

The good news is it will fade after a few washes. If you can bear it, just be patient and wash your hair with a deep cleansing shampoo. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to put a warm toner on top of the cool one without making your hair color look dull and unflattering. If you completely hate it, reach out to your colorist, and ask them to use a gentle color remover and reapply a more subtle toner.

#4: Fixing Yellow Blonde

Yellow undertones inevitably appear on blonde hair a few weeks after a salon appointment. This happens especially quickly if the hair wasn’t lifted light enough or when the natural color is very dark. Luckily, this is something that you can partly fix at home. Just use a color correcting shampoo – also called silver or purple shampoo. This product will cancel unwanted warmth and help to maintain cool shades between your color sessions.
