    What Color Cancels Out Purple? Expert Tips

    What Color Cancels Out Purple? Expert Tips

    Oops! Did your purple hair experiment go a little too wild? Or maybe that gorgeous amethyst shade just isn't vibing with your current mood anymore? Don't panic, babe – we've all been there! 

    Whether you're dealing with an accidental purple mishap or just ready for a fresh new look, your hair color besties at Arctic Fox have got your back. 

    Let's dive into all the tried-and-true ways to say "bye-bye" to that purple and get you back to your dream shade!

    Color Wheel Theory: The Science Behind the Magic

    Here's where we get a little nerdy (but in a fun way!). 

    Yellow and purple are total opposites on the color wheel – like that friend who's always arguing with you but somehow makes perfect sense. When these two colors meet, they literally cancel each other out!

    Depending on how deep and dramatic your purple is, yellow hair dye can help tone it down, making it way more neutral or less in-your-face vibrant. 

    If you're going for that natural, effortless vibe, consider a warm brown with golden or orangey undertones – it's like giving your purple a cozy hug that neutralizes it beautifully.

    Other Game-Changing Options for Removing Purple Hair Dye

    Clarifying Shampoo: Your New BFF

    Think of clarifying shampoo as your hair's personal trainer – it works hard to fade that color over time! 

    We're talking about washing your hair more often (yeah, we know, high maintenance life) with warm water to pull out as much color as possible. 

    Just don't forget to follow up with a deep conditioner after each wash because nobody wants dry, straw-like hair. Your locks need that moisture love!

    DIY Vitamin C Hair Mask: Kitchen Chemistry at Its Finest

    Periwinkle toned to blonde

    Got some stubborn purple that just won't quit? Time to raid your medicine cabinet! Here's how to make this color-lifting magic:

    What you'll need:

    • 15-20 colorless vitamin C tablets 

    • 2-3 tablespoons of clarifying shampoo

    • Warm water

    How to work this magic:

    1. Crush those vitamin C tablets into a fine powder

    2. Mix with your clarifying shampoo and just enough warm water to make a paste

    3. Apply to damp hair and let it sit for 30-60 minutes

    4. Rinse thoroughly and condition like your hair's life depends on it

    Why it works: Vitamin C is basically an acid that breaks down hair dye molecules. Science is cool, right?

    Bleach Bath: Proceed with Caution, Queen

    Bleach baths are like the gentler cousin of straight-up bleach, but they can still be a little spicy for your hair cuticles and in some cases cause color staining. 

    Always, always do a strand test first and consult with our color experts – trust us on this one!

    How to do a bleach bath:

    1. Mix equal parts bleach powder, developer (20 or lower), and shampoo

    2. Apply to towel-dried, damp hair, making sure it's evenly distributed

    3. Process for 10-15 minutes, checking every 2-5 minutes (set those phone timers!)

    4. Rinse thoroughly with warm water, then shampoo to get every last bit of bleach out

    5. Follow up with a hydrating hair mask because your hair just went through it

    Hair Color Remover: The Less Scary Option

    Purple Madness fading to platinum blonde

    This method is like the middle child – less risky than bleach but more effective than just shampooing. 

    Hair color removers are specifically designed to break down dye, but make sure you're using the right one for your hair type (semi-permanent vs. permanent makes a difference!). 

    Always follow those instructions like they're gospel, and don't skip the hydrating serum afterward.

    Follow the Color Wheel to Cover Purple: The Safe Route

    Sometimes the easiest solution is the best one! If you want to avoid damage and aren't married to a specific color, just go darker or play with neighboring shades. 

    Black will completely cover purple, while blues and reds can help you transition to something totally new. 

    This is hands down the safest, least damaging, and most user-friendly way to move on from your purple hair phase.

    FAQ: Your Burning Questions Answered

    What cancels out purple hair color? 

    Yellow and golden tones are your heroes here! Try Arctic Fox's semi-permanent bright yellow hair dye Cosmic Sunshine, for that perfect color-canceling magic.

    What is the best way to remove purple hair dye?

    For less damage, frequent washing with warm water and clarifying shampoo is recommended. For speed, color remover or bleach baths are recommended (but be careful and consult our color experts!).

    What color covers purple? 

    Blue hair dye, red hair dye, and black hair dye are your best friends for covering purple completely.

    You've Got This!

    There you have it, gorgeous – all the insider secrets to conquering your purple hair situation! Whether you're going the gentle route or need something more dramatic, you now have a whole toolkit of options.

    How to Tone Yellow Hair to Ash: Easy Step-by-Step Guide

    How to Tone Yellow Hair to Ash: Easy Step-by-Step Guide

    So you've gone blonde, but now you're dealing with those annoying yellow tones? Don't panic! Your besties are here with all the tea on how to transform that brassy blonde into the cool, ashy shade of your dreams. 

    This isn't rocket science, just a few tricks that'll have you serving ice queen vibes in no time!

    Why Does Hair Turn Yellow? 

    Hair turns yellow mainly due to oxidation, sun exposure, and mineral buildup from hard water. When you bleach your hair, it's actually revealing the underlying warm pigments that naturally exist in your strands - those stubborn yellow tones are what's left behind after the bleach lifts your natural color! 


    Over time, these yellow tones become more noticeable as your bleached hair continues to oxidize. Heat styling tools and chlorine from pools can accelerate this yellowing process too. 


    Basically, your blonde is constantly fighting environmental factors that are trying to turn it into a yellow mess, it's like your hair's own little battle against the elements!

    What Color Toner Neutralizes Yellow Hair?

    Purple toner is your bestie for neutralizing yellow hair! This works because purple sits opposite yellow on the color wheel, so it cancels out those brassy tones when applied. Look for purple shampoos, conditioners, or professional toning treatments depending on how intense your yellowing is. 


    For a DIY hack that seriously works, mix a tiny dot of Arctic Fox's Purple AF, Girls Night, or Periwinkle semi-permanent dye into your regular shampoo or conditioner. You will have created an instant custom purple toning product without the salon price tag! 


    For subtle warmth, a weekly purple treatment might do the trick, but for that "I just left the salon" cool blonde, you might need a more concentrated purple formula to kick those yellow tones to the curb.


    Say Goodbye to Yellow and Hello to Ash!

    Yellow tones can be stubborn little devils, but with the right approach, you can banish them for good. 

    Whether you're a DIY queen or a salon regular who needs some maintenance between appointments, we’ve got you covered with this step-by-step guide that actually works.

    Step 1: Wash That Yellow Away

    First things first, let's try the gentlest approach before bringing in the big guns. Sometimes those yellow tones are just buildup that needs a good cleanse!

    • Start washing your hair more frequently with warm (not hot!) water

    • Switch to a clarifying shampoo to remove product buildup that might be causing discoloration

    • Make sure to follow up with our Pool Party Hair Mask to replenish moisture because nobody wants straw-like strands, am I right?

    • Massage that mask in, leave for 5-10 minutes, and rinse with cool water

    Trust us, this simple step makes a HUGE difference for some blondes, and your hair will thank you for the hydration boost!

    Step 2: DIY Vitamin C Treatment

    If those yellow tones are as stubborn as your ex who keeps watching your Instagram stories, it's time to try this miracle worker!

    • Crush up about 5-10 vitamin C tablets into a fine powder

    • Mix the powder with your regular shampoo until it forms a paste

    • Apply the mixture to damp hair, focusing on the yellowest areas

    • Cover with a shower cap and let it sit for 30-60 minutes

    • Rinse thoroughly and follow up with our Money Hunny Serum to restore shine and hydration

    This vitamin C trick is literally life-changing and works by gently stripping away color molecules that cause yellowing. Your hair might feel a bit dry afterward, but that's why the Money Hunny Serum exists, bestie!

    Step 3: Purple Power to the Rescue

    Now for the main event! Purple is yellow's opposite on the color wheel, which means it neutralizes those brassy tones like magic. Choose the right purple product based on your specific yellow situation:

    • Periwinkle: Our pastel blue with purple undertone hair dye is perfect for darker yellow tones that lean orange. Mix Periwinkle with conditioner and leave on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing.

    • Girls Night: THE holy grail for achieving that ashy platinum look. Dilute our pastel purple hair dye, Girls Night, with conditioner and leave it on for 15-20 minutes.

    • Purple AF: For darker blondes, mix 1-2 drops of Purple AF with your regular conditioner for a gentle toning effect without going overboard.

    Pro tip: Always wear gloves when applying purple products unless you want purple-stained nails for your date night! 

    Also, don't leave these products on too long, or you'll end up with lavender hair color (cute, but probably not the look you're going for!).

    Step 4: Prevention is Key

    Once you've achieved that perfect ashy tone, let's keep it that way, shall we?

    • Avoid chlorine like it's your toxic ex! If you must take a dip, apply our Pool Party hair mask for protection before diving in

    • Apply our OG Hair Perfume, which not only smells like our famous grape scent, but it also doubles as a UV protectant to prevent sun damage

    • Use cold water for final rinses to seal the cuticle and lock in your color

    Remember: maintaining that perfect ash tone is a marathon, not a sprint. A little maintenance goes a long way!

    FAQs About Toning Yellow Hair

    How often should I tone my hair?

     Listen to your locks! Most people need to tone every 2-3 weeks, but if you're using purple hair treatments 1-2 times a week as maintenance, you might stretch that even longer.

    Can I tone my hair too much?

    Yes, babe! Over-toning can lead to dryness and even a purple cast. If your hair starts looking dull or lilac-tinted, take a break from toning products.

    Will toning damage my already-processed hair? 

    When done correctly, toning is much gentler than bleaching. Always follow with deep conditioning treatments to keep your hair healthy.

    Can I go from golden blonde to ash blonde at home? 

    Absolutely! As mentioned above, there are a few ways to do this, like washing your hair with clarifying shampoo, using a vitamin C hair mask, and using purple hair toning products!

    But be patient, it might take a few sessions to reach your desired level of ashiness.

    What if purple products aren't working? 

    You might need a stronger professional toner with blue tones if you're dealing with orange-yellow hues. Consider messaging our color specialists if purple products aren't cutting it.

    Ready for Your Ash Blonde Journey?

    That's it, bestie! From one blonde to another, trust us when we say that achieving and maintaining ash blonde hair isn't as complicated as the internet makes it seem. With these simple steps and the right products, you'll be serving cool-toned realness in no time!

    Remember: healthy hair should always be the priority, so don't skip those hydrating treatments. Now go forth and rock that gorgeous ash blonde like the queen you are! 💁♀️✨

    How to Tone Orange Hair: Easy Fixes for Brassiness

    Ever looked in the mirror and thought, "Whoa, my blonde is looking more like a traffic cone"? Don't panic! 


    Brassy orange tones happen to the best of us, especially after bleaching or when blonde hair color starts to fade. The good news? You've got options that don't involve hiding under a hat for weeks.


    Understanding the Color Wheel: Why Blue Neutralizes Orange

    Remember that color wheel from art class? It's about to save your hair!


    Blue and orange are directly opposite each other, which makes them complementary colors and total besties when it comes to color correction. 


    Here's why this matters for your hair: When these opposite colors meet, they cancel each other out! So when your blonde has gone all orange and you're freaking out, reaching for a blue toner isn't just random—it's color theory magic! The blue pigments swoop in and neutralize orange hair, leaving you with the cool, balanced color you actually wanted. 


    This is exactly why we all need purple shampoo for yellow tones and blue products for those orange nightmares. Once you get this color wheel trick, you'll never panic over brassiness again!


    The Magic of Color Theory: Periwinkle to the Rescue!

    Before and after using Periwinkle to tone brassy orange hair


    Blue sits opposite orange on the color wheel, which means it neutralizes those warm, brassy tones. 


    This is why Arctic Fox's Periwinkle is your new BFF for toning orange hair.


    Simply dilute Periwinkle with conditioner (the ratio depends on how intense your orange is) and apply it to dry hair. This creates a gentle, blue-based toner that cancels out the orange without compromising your hair's health. It's like a cool-toned hug for your stressed-out strands!


    Apple Cider Vinegar: Your Kitchen Cabinet Savior

    When you need a quick fix with what you have on hand, reach for that bottle of ACV! A diluted apple cider vinegar rinse can help remove mineral buildup that contributes to brassiness while balancing your hair's pH.


    Mix one part apple cider vinegar with three parts water, apply it to your hair after shampooing, let it sit for 3-5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Your hair will not only look less brassy but will also feel softer and shinier. Win-win!


    When All Else Fails: Embrace the Dark Side

    If your orange tones are particularly stubborn, sometimes the best solution is to cover them up entirely with a darker shade. Think of it as a hair reset button! Some of our favorite Arctic Fox shades for covering orange hair include:


    Wrath: A deep, vibrant red that transforms brassiness into intentional fire-engine fabulousness

    Purple AF: A striking violet that makes orange disappear like magic

    Transylvania: The ultimate deep black that gives you a fresh start with a dramatic edge


    FAQ: Your Orange Hair Questions, Answered!


    What color cancels out brassy orange hair?

    Blue as it sits directly opposite orange on the color wheel, meaning it neutralizes the warm orange tones; therefore, a blue-based dye like Periwinkle is a great option for toning brassy orange hair.


    How to get rid of orange brassy hair at home?

    The best way to get rid of brassy toned hair at home is to use the above methods like tone your hair with our pastel blue semi-permanent hair dye in the shade Periwinkle, use a DIY apple cider vinegar rinse, or simply cover the brassy orange tones with a darker hair color like red, purple, or black.


    How long should I leave the toner on to get rid of orange?

    If you are using our Periwinkle semi-permanent hair dye as a toner, we recommend leaving it on for at least 15-30 minutes. However, you can leave it on even longer if you'd like since there are no harsh chemicals in any of our dyes.


    Orange You Glad You Read This?


    Don't let brassiness bring you down! With these simple solutions, you can kick orange tones to the curb and get back to loving your locks. 


    Whether you choose the gentle approach with Periwinkle toner, the natural route with apple cider vinegar, or decide to transform completely with a new color, your hair journey is in your hands.
