Question: How can I correct a bleach blonde process that turned bluish green after I applied the color rinse to the hair?

Answer: Applying the right rinse or color to bleached hair is a challenge to say the least. Bleach strips the hair of its own pigmentation, leaving the hair shaft completely open to everything and anything.

Color toners, rinses, and dyes are made of one of three color bases: reds, greens or neutrals.

Prevention is definitely the best way to avoid a color disaster when processing any hair color. I assume that you are a professional that has just run into bit of a pickle with a bleaching process (this can happen to any one of us).

A good word of advice:

We as professional have an obligation to our clients to keep them calm and secure. Mistakes are going to happen and we are not always going to hit the bull’s eye when it comes to the finished product, especially when dealing with bleach and color.

If you ever have this problem when applying a toner or color after a bleach, mix an extra bit of bleach or use the existing left over bleach and apply it to the hair immediately after noticing any unwanted coloration. Neutrals or gold bases work better with bleached hair but what ever your professional choice, remember this very important tip…Never, ever, let them see you sweat. Your clients need to see you secure and sure of you ability and they are counting on you to create miracles.

Remember that to some people you are not just a beautician, you are also a magician.
