I have complete white hair. I would like to know how can I clean the yellow stains from it. In other words, bleach it whithout using chemicals, if possible.

Vanessa - can you tell me what 'recipe' you used when putting peroxide in your conditioner?

Thanks - I have lots of yellow streaks in my grey/white hair.

My hair has been white since I was about 30 (3 boys!!) and I've always used Jirmack for silver hair with the matching conditioner. About once a week I use another brand to rid my hair of the build-up of used bluing shampoo for 25+ years with no blue hair to show for it, just shiny SILVER hair. See my profile. I'll be the one with the silver hair!

My hair is very white about two inches from the scalp, then starts getting yellow. The blue shampoos help the bottom some but turn the top purple. I'm trying 20 volume developer mixed with my whits shampoo method. We'll see.

The 'yellow' is most likely from your water. Hard water w some iron
in it will do this.
All the bluing and store stuff does is cover over the 'yellow' and eventually give you GREEN highlights.

Use WHITE BLUE or CLEAR shampoo.( shampoo colors do stick to white hair)
Remove the deposits in your hair with either baking soda mixed with your shampoo and rub the hair for a minute or two. then rinse. This can be drying so I only do once a week.

And I use a rinse of 1 TBSP Vinegar to 1Cup filtered water.

I've tried it all and this works.
The blueing shampoos are nice on accasion but only after you have removed the yellow stain.

Use a purple or blue based shampoo or toner.Honestly I'd hit my local beauty supply and ask the lady at the counter but yeah products like so silver and ectra will help but purple neutralizes yellow.I make my own toner using a vegi dye from manic panic but punk color brands like special effects or manic panic have good "white" toners I recomment special effects if you want a more permanant effect.
5 minutes max on dry hair then rinse out.so comb in rinse out.If it happens to tinge your hair purple or if any toner or shampoo does try something like head and shoulders most vegi dyes and toners cant hold up vs dandruff shampoo :)
Myself I'm a punky girl but I can appreciate the desire to have your haircolor pure natural or not.

Vanessa, how much peroxide did you add to your conditioner to remove the yellow stain from white hair?

Framesi puts out a shampoo called Violights. It's much stronger than Clairol's Shimmer Lights. I'm in the process of bleaching my hair to white and this is removing the brassiness from my old hairdressers work & boosting my blonde up to white. Be cautioned, this stuff is so strong it tints your hands purple. You need to scrub this off your hands afterwards but it will help.

I've tried Shimmering Lights - and other "get the yellow" out products - nothing works. However i did read yesterday to use peroxide mixed with your conditioner - guess what it worked

I've tried the Matrix So Silver with Recouvrer, which was suppose to take the yellow out of my white hair. Sad to report it hasn't worked for me. Has anyone tried something that works?

imho, the yellow is residue left from the shampoo (or water) that you're using. What you want is hair that is Silver! Try using a shampoo for silver hair and soon you'll have the results you want. I see Pantene makes a product for silver hair now. Your hair should sparkle!

Best of luck, I too have the salt and pepper colored hair. Its a natural frosting... (smile)

my mom has pretty silver natural hair but my aunt's hair is not silver so she buys shampoos that are to help yellow hair turn to pretty silver white
and also" Rioux" or is it" Ruoix" has a rinse for this
you can find it near hair colors at most stores

Zelda, Matrix makes a shampoo called sosilver or at your local beauty supply it is shimmer lights. The shampoo is purple and it takes the yellow out of white hair.

My great-grandmother had snow white hair, and my grandmother said it was because she used lemon juice to rinse through her hair. It makes since, as I've heard its used to lighten dark skin on elbows, etc. Try it for awhile, and let us know how it works.

Shimmer lights shampoo from your local beauty supply will
help without bleaching, or they might recommend something
better if it is bad.

In the grocery store laundry section you can find
Mrs. Stewart's Liquid Blueing
I use it in the rinse cycle after bleaching whites to remove the yellowing from the bleach. On the bottle it give instructions on blueing white hair.
Good Luck.
Liz
P.S. Try an older grocery store chain ie Acme, Pathmark or even KMart

Next Loving Care has a very good line of products

Hope you find something that works for you.
