I remember one of my first dye jobs. I decided it would look supa hawt to dye chunks of my dark brunette hair a nice, light blonde. It did not look supa hawt but actually supa awful when that hideous blonde turned into a brassy shade. If only I had known this one trick that uses a common kitchen item to fight those unwanted tones and to keep your shade true to colour. 

Sidenote: Well, actually it still would have looked awful. Because chunky blonde streaks on brunette hair never looked good on me. But hey - hindsight is 20/20, right? 

So, what mysterious product would you find in your kitchen to help your hair colour? 

Food colouring! 


Add a few drops to your shampoo to neutralize tones. Here are the guidelines to follow:

-To neutralize red tone in brunettes mix shampoo with green food colouring

-To neutralize yellow in blondes mix shampoo with violet food colouring

-To neutralize orange mix shampoo with blue food colouring

-To neutralize red/orange in a brunette mix shampoo with blue/green food colouring

-To neutralize yellow/orange mix shampoo with blue/violet food colouring
