What Is Brassy Hair?
Brassy hair happens when unwanted warm tones like orange, yellow, or red start showing up in coloured or lightened hair. It’s most common in blondes and brunettes who lighten their hair but can affect anyone who colours or highlights.
You may notice your bright blonde turning yellow, or your cool-toned brunette shifting to a reddish-orange tone. The result? Dull, uneven colour that lacks the polished tone you walked out of the salon with.
Why Does My Hair Turn Brassy?
There are a few common culprits:
1. Fading Toner or Colour
Toners and glosses help cancel out warmth, but they naturally fade over time, especially if you’re washing your hair often or using harsh products.
2. Water Minerals & Chlorine
Hard water (full of minerals) or chlorine from swimming can alter your hair colour and speed up brassiness.
3. UV Exposure
Just like skin, hair can be damaged by the sun. UV rays break down colour molecules, especially cooler tones, leaving behind warm, brassy ones.
4. Heat Styling
Excessive use of hot tools can dry out the hair and distort colour pigments, bringing out warmth.
How to Prevent & Fix Brassy Hair
Brassiness is annoying, but totally fixable with the right salon treatments and home care.
