FACT OR MYTH: BRASSY HAIR EDITION

Whether blonde or brunette, with natural or color-treated hair, there is one concern that many are bound to face: brassiness.

Brassiness refers to the unwanted warm, yellow or orange tones that can show up in hair. It typically happens in dark hair that gets highlighted or dyed blonde, but it can also occur in blonde hair that has been highlighted to a lighter shade, such as platinum blonde. One little known fact is that brassy hair can also occur in natural hair that has never been colored.

FACT: Brassy tones can appear in any hair color. In blondes, brassiness often shows as yellow tones, while in brunettes, brass often shows as orange or red tones.

To combat brassiness in brown and blonde hair, a toning shampoo regimen is essential for counteracting unwanted warmth and maintaining a cool, vibrant shade.

MYTH: Toning shampoos should be integrated into your weekly haircare routine. Use Color Extend Blondage or Brownlights 2x per week to truly combat brass.

Toning shampoos and conditioners can be integrated into your weekly haircare regimen whenever you need an extra boost to combat brass and counteract those unwanted tones.

MYTH: Brunettes can use Redken's Color Extend Brownlights or Color Extend Blondage depending on the type of brassy tones appearing in the hair.

Both natural and highlighted brunette hair can experience brassiness. If you notice unwanted yellow or orange undertones in your brunette hair, rest assured that there is a toning solution for you.
