How to Fix Brassy Hair in Perth
Brassy hair—those unwanted yellow, orange, or dull tones—is one of the most common concerns we see in the salon.
If your blonde or lightened hair has lost its freshness, you’re not alone. And more importantly… it can be fixed properly.
Why Does Hair Go Brassy?
Brassiness happens when the underlying warm pigments in your hair start to show through.
This can be caused by:
• Fading toner
• Poor-quality colouring
• Sun exposure (very common in Perth)
• Mineral build-up from water
• Overuse of home toning products
Many clients try to fix it at home—but this often makes the colour uneven or dull.
Why Purple Shampoo Isn’t Enough
Purple shampoo can help maintain tone—but it does NOT fix the problem.
Overusing it can:
• Dry out the hair
• Make colour look flat or muddy
• Create patchy results
👉 It’s a maintenance product, not a solution.
How We Fix Brassy Hair Properly
At Dale James & Co, we approach brassy hair as a colour correction process, not a quick fix.
Depending on your hair, we may use:
• Custom toning to neutralise unwanted warmth
• Foiling techniques to rebalance colour
• Glossing services for shine and tone
• Gentle colour correction for more complex cases
Every correction is tailored—because no two heads of hair are the same.
The Goal: Clean, Expensive-Looking Colour
Fixing brassiness isn’t just about removing yellow—it’s about creating:
• Soft, natural tones
• Even colour from root to ends
• Shine and movement
This is what makes hair look fresh, modern, and high-end.
