Help! What can I do to tone down brassy highlights?

[AberdeenAgnes]

And please don't say go back to the hairdresser, I can't afford it and the place that did this to me is 150 miles away!!

Can I use a toner at home? Is there a specific product for this? Or can I just put a darker colour over the top? Or will it react in some spooky way and turn green or something?

Purple shampoo. Leave it on for a few minutes.

Ooh, thanks misbeehiving. Can I get that in Boots? Is it just called purple shampoo?

Touch of Silver - it's for ladies of more mature years - it'll tone the yellow down

I use John frieda colour correcting, had brassy highlights too. Worked brilliantly, use it twice a week to keep it softened. I was recommended something they sell in boots which is much cheaper that people with grey hair use to get rid if yellow. Can't for the life recall what it's called!

Touch of silver, yes that's it, I heard from many people since that it's bette thn John frieda, so I will buy it next time!

Oh, thank you so much for this. I am off to Boots tomorrow

can't do linky thing

is amazing

I'm sure I read somewhere that ketchup tones down brassiness. Don't try it till you have checked!

I've read about ketchup too, but I can't remember whether its for brassiness or green tones (caused by swimming etc) so I second don't try it til you check!

Ok did a quick Google, tomato ketchup is for removing green tinge from blonde hair!

Also redken do a conditioner for making yellow tones more silver, it's not cheap but lasts for ages and I use the shampoo and then that once a week.

i have the touch of silver one too, make sure to get the conditioner because the shampoo is very drying.
