What color does purple cancel out in hair?

Answered by Robert Flynn

When it comes to canceling out colors in hair, it’s important to understand the color wheel and how different shades interact with one another. In this case, we are looking at what color purple cancels out in hair.

Purple is a color that falls on the opposite side of the color wheel from yellow. This means that purple can be used to neutralize or cancel out yellow tones in hair. So, if you have yellow undertones in your hair that you want to get rid of or tone down, using a purple-based product can be beneficial.

It’s worth noting that the intensity of the purple product you use will depend on the level of yellow you want to cancel out. If you have very brassy or vibrant yellow tones, you may need a stronger, more pigmented purple product. On the other hand, if you have lighter or more subtle yellow undertones, a less intense purple product may be sufficient.

When applying a purple-based product to cancel out yellow in hair, it’s important to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer. This may involve applying the product evenly throughout your hair and leaving it on for a specific amount of time. It’s always a good idea to do a strand test first to ensure that the product will give you the desired result without causing any damage.

In my personal experience, I have used purple toning products to cancel out yellow tones in my hair. I had bleached my hair and ended up with some brassy yellow areas that I wanted to tone down. I applied a purple toner and left it on for about 15 minutes, following the instructions provided. The result was a more neutral, cool-toned blonde that I was happy with.

Purple cancels out yellow in hair. By understanding the color wheel and using a purple-based product, you can neutralize or tone down yellow undertones in your hair. Remember to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and do a strand test before applying the product to your entire head of hair.
