Ever wondered why gorgeous lightened locks start to show those pesky brassy tones?

Ever wondered why your gorgeous lightened locks start to show those pesky brassy tones? It’s all about the underlying warm pigments that peek through after lightening. Whether you’ve got deep browns or sun-kissed blondes, those orange and red hues can surface over time.

It’s a common puzzle, but we’ve got the solution right here!

Why Brassy Tones Appear: A Quick Science Lesson

When we lighten hair, we strip away natural pigments, revealing the hidden warm undertones beneath—those cheeky reds, oranges, and yellows. The degree of warmth exposed depends on your original hair colour and how much it’s lightened.

Combat Brassy Tones with Our Expert Tips

Tone it Down

At Halo we stock ELEVEN AUSTRALIA and our specially formulated purple shampoos and conditioners neutralise yellow hues, keeping your hair looking fresh and vibrant but there are other brands that are also great. We love ELEVEN for the added benefit of being cruelty free 🐇

Shield from the Sun

Just like your skin, your hair needs protection from the sun. UV-protective products and chic hats will help you keep those unwanted warm tones at bay.

Minimise Heat Damage:

Avoid excess use of heat styling tools. When you do style, always use heat protective sprays to keep your hair looking healthy and lustrous.

Deep Condition Regularly

Our nourishing leave-in treatments and masks, enriched with natural ingredients like shea butter, aloe vera, and sweet almond oil, will hydrate and strengthen your hair.

Regular Maintenance is Key:

Maintain your hair’s health and colour by scheduling regular trims to snip those split ends and using our full range of colour-safe, sulphate-free products. Remember, the best offence is a good defence when it comes to hair care!
