Why does gray hair tend to turn yellow without an Anti-yellow Shampoo?

Do your gray hairs look a bit yellow? The main cause is the lack of melanin. Melanin is a pigment in the skin and hair that protects and shields our body from UV rays. Think of it as a protective barrier that filters out pollution, smog, sun exposure, chemicals, and even the limescale in water when you shower.

If you’re one of those who prefers the convenience of dyeing hair at home, you should know that DIY hair dyes can come with some unwanted side effects. Yes, they are affordable, easy to use, and can give great results, but it’s important to be aware of some potential downsides.

During the hair dyeing process, certain chemical ingredients can cause the color to shift towards yellow or orange tones. This means that the final result may not always meet the expectations of someone looking for a perfect, cool-toned gray shade.

So, let’s summarize the main causes of gray hair turning yellow or orange:

Chemical Processes Used in Hair Coloring

To lighten brown or dark hair, two chemical agents are used: ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. These compounds break down melanin, diluting it into a lighter shade depending on the amount of product applied.

Hair Dyes That Change Tone Over Time

The chemical process of hair dyeing allows you to achieve the desired color, but over time, the dye fades and shifts towards yellow and orange tones. This happens because most hair dyes contain blue, red, and yellow pigments. Since blue pigments fade the fastest, the remaining yellow and red pigments create the unwanted warm tones as the weeks go by.

Individual Variability

Not everyone who dyes their hair to cover gray and yellow tones will necessarily experience these unwanted color changes. If you notice yellowing just a few weeks after dyeing, it’s important to consider your hair’s history. One of the most common factors could be overuse of straightening treatments or perms, which may have damaged the health of your hair. Additionally, multiple bleaching sessions done incorrectly or using low-quality hair dye ingredients can also contribute to unwanted yellow tones.

Excessive Sun Exposure

While spending time in the sun—especially in summer—is great for your health, it’s not always beneficial for gray and blonde hair. Excessive UV exposure can cause hair to turn yellow and become dry. That’s why it’s recommended to wear a hat during the hottest hours of the day to protect your hair and prevent discoloration.
