i have very dark brown hair that i have just weaved with some highlights. its been a week and already the 'ashy' colored highlights are turning brassy! I have a lot of orange undertone to my hair. Anyone know of anything that really works to get the brassyness out? I dont want to darken it, just remove the orange tones from the hightlighted areas.
Thanks! |

Since blue is across from orange in the hair color wheel, try using a blue-
based or "indigo" toner to counter the orange. I don't know where you can buy toner... but you can also ask for it at the salon if you don't mind paying. |

Thanks for the info. I think i'll try asking the salon. Ive also seen shampoo and conditioners that are violet based that claim they counter brassiness. I've never tried them though.
