Blond hair is not as common as curls of dark shades. Meanwhile, all kinds of statistical surveys and studies confirm that men who consider light strands are considered the most sexual. In pursuit of men's attention, women are willing to sacrifice hair quality in order to turn into blondes. One of the most significant drawbacks in repainting hair in a light shade is the loss of pigments, hair will eventually be dry and thin.
The second disadvantage of light hair
It consists in the constant presence of yellow or red pigment on the curls. It is impossible to completely remove it, and as a result, instead of blond curls on the head, many blondes have lifeless strands with yellowness. To solve this problem, hairdressers have developed a special shampoo for blond hair. This product differs from the usual one in that it helps to eliminate the yellow pigment, and also tones the hair in light or ashy colors. In our market, the most popular product is the Estelle brand name, as well as shade shampoos for fair hair from RoColor Tonic. We will talk about these products in this article, what to expect from them, is it worth buying to the owners of light strands.
Gray and Purple Shampoos
Despite the fact that Estelle shampoo for fair hair is in the greatest demand in Russia, there are a lot of similar products. You can buy the product in professional and specialized stores, and the price of shampoo for clarified hair is higher than the cost of a conventional care product. Such products are called "gray" not because of the color, but because of the effect that it gives. Thanks to the violet and silver pigments contained in the product, such a shampoo tones the hair, removes yellowness. If your strands are lightened, or if you want to maintain a natural looking gray hair, we recommend trying a lightening shampoo for fair hair.
The line from the brand "Estelle"
Glitter shampoo for fair hair Prima Blonde from Estelle is very popular among "bright heads ". Moreover, it is well-deserved, because based on the responses about this product, the tool copes well with its tasks.
Employees of the Estelle brand have developed a whole line of caring shampoos, masks and silver balms for curls of cold light colors. These shampoos and balms are known for helping to maintain ashy shades without overdrying the hair. There are two types of Estelle shampoos for fair hair from this line, plus additional makeup products.
This is a shine-shampoo and balm for blond hair, which is suitable for any shade of blond: both warm and cold. In addition, the brand presents Prima Blond silver shampoo exclusively for cold tones.

All products are designed to provide exactly the shade of blond that you want, will help rid your hair of unpleasant yellowness.

Curex color intensens
There is another worthy product from this brand, in addition to products "Estelle" and "Prima blond." Shampoo for fair hair "Curex Color Intens" is also worth a try for those who care about the beauty of bleached hair. This product gently cleanses the hair, giving it a cool milky shade. Its advantage is that it "works" even without a mandatory pair in the form of a balm.
This shampoo from Estelle for fair hair, according to reviews, has a silver color, without bright purple pigments. As a result, after use, the hair is not dyed in pink or purple, and the yellowness goes away. The disadvantage of this product is that women believe that the effect lasts until the next shampoo. If you decide to alternate Curex Color Intens with other products, then it is likely that the cold silver tone will change to yellowness. The price of the product is from 250 to 350 rubles, depending on the place of sale.
Schwarzkopf shampoo for men
This product is also recommended by blondes to maintain the blonde's beautiful cool shades. Despite the fact that this shampoo is designed for men and has a specific pungent smell of men's perfumes, it qualitatively washes the yellow pigment from curls.
The product from Schwarzkopf has a deep purple color. It can be used to maintain color and give hair silvery tones. To maintain color, you need to mix a cap of shampoo and a half liter of water, rinse the strands after washing with shampoo. Also, every four to five times washing your hair with your regular shampoo, it is recommended to use the "gray" from Schwarzkopf instead of the usual product. The price of this tool is from 450 to 600 rubles.
Products for fair hair Indigo
Shampoo for light colored hair of the Indigo trademark appeared on the domestic market in 2016. The product, by the way, is not the only one in the line, it is positioned as a professional. However, unlike expensive cosmetics for hair care, the price of Indigo is indecently low. So, a shampoo with a volume of 300 ml can be purchased for about 150 rubles, and a liter bottle costs about 400.
There are not so many positive reviews about this shampoo for fair hair. Girls who have tried Indigo on their own hair believe that there are more disadvantages to using it than advantages. So, the product lightens hair selectively, as a result, after use, you can see that some strands became silver, while others remained yellow. The tint balm from the same series can cope with this problem. If you take a balm or a mask from another brand, then the beautiful light shades will go away with the washing off of the foam. One cannot ignore the advantages of Indigo products. The product does not dry hair at all. In addition, the shampoo has good cleansing properties, washes grease from the hair roots.
Tinted Shampoos & Balms
There are also several well-known brands on the Russian market that produce shampoos and balms that can tint or radically change hair color. One of the best-selling products is being produced by Rocolor under the name Tonic.
Tinted shampoo for blond hair from this brand allows you to not only remove the yellowness, but also to give curls that are fashionable today for purple or pink. How good is this product according to consumers? Thanks to the low price, even a schoolgirl can afford to buy “Tonic”, and besides, there really is an effect from the RoKolor tint balms, especially if you want to enhance the color of red or dark hair. But as for the shampoo for fair hair, the responses vary.
Tonic balm
"Tonic" really does a good job of neutralizing yellow pigments, the effect lasts up to 3-4 rinses. The disadvantage of this product, firstly, is that Tonic drains the hair substantially. Secondly, if you decide to give your hair a shade, then be prepared for the fact that he will lie unevenly. Girls note that as a result of dyeing, some strands may remain yellow, others will become silver, and part of the hair will turn completely purple. If you have nothing to lose, then, of course, you can try Tonic on your hair. But if the hair color was carefully selected at the hairdresser, then there is the opportunity to spoil it. In addition, “Tonic” is washed off long enough and in parts. If you don’t like the staining result, you won’t be able to get rid of the unnecessary shade in one wash.
How to use "Tonic" to neutralize yellowness? Mix a cap of balm with 1.5-2 liters of water, rinse your hair after washing with this composition. The color shade shampoo is deep purple, and diluted in water it becomes pale purple. The price of Toniki ranges from 150 to 200 rubles.
Concept Blonde Shampoo
The professional brand Concept also presents its anti-yellow dyed blond hair product, which translates as “no yellowing”. This shampoo does not dry hair so much, according to reviews, since it contains essential oils that provide sufficient moisture and nutrition. Buyers believe that this is a pretty good option for caring for dyed hair, due to its low price and good quality. The cost of a bottle of 300 ml is not more than 450 rubles. The product is suitable for daily use, cleanses the scalp and hair well, the curls after washing are soft and easy to comb.
Why can a remedy for clarified curls not help?
You carefully care for the hair, but shampoo for fair hair does not help you? Reviews indicate that, despite expensive care products, curls often remain yellow. The reason may lie not in the quality of shampoo, but in something else. There are at least three important external factors that you may not be aware of. For example, if there is too much iron in the water you wash your hair with, then regardless of the quality of the clarifying shampoo, your hair will still turn yellow.
In addition, it is almost impossible to achieve the perfect ash tone for girls whose hair is dark enough by nature. A sharp transition in light colors will certainly give yellowness, since it is difficult to remove the dark pigment to the end. Even the yellowness of the hair may be due to the fact that the quality of the hair has deteriorated significantly during repeated dyeing. As a result of exposure to oxygen, damaged hair oxidizes from the inside, changes its color and turns yellow. Blondes are best worn on brown hair, which initially does not have much dark pigment. In this case, the use of clarifying shampoos will certainly give a result. If you see that you only use any care products, but in the end your hair still remains yellow, then you should think about switching to a different palette to save your curls. It is unlikely that you need lifelessly dull, although at the same time light ash hair.
Summarizing
If you think that having dyed your hair light, you will certainly get perfect curls, like Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones, then you are mistaken. Light curls need daily care, which is expressed not only in washing and combing, but also in the use of special compounds. Shampoos with gray and violet pigments can neutralize yellowness, provide hair with the desired ashy shade. A significant drawback of the use of such products is that the hair is overdried, thinning and loses strength. Perhaps there is not a single shampoo that would provide strands with adequate nutrition. Be sure to use balm from the same series with shampoo for fair hair. If you take a balm or mask of a different brand, it is possible that after washing off you will not see any effect from the clarifying shampoo. Remember that healthy hair always looks beautiful, sometimes it is better to prefer natural tones instead of lifeless blond.
