Ardell Hair Color Bottle, Unred, 0.25 Ounce

This is a must have for any blonde. I love this to add to any home dye it neutralizes gold tones keeping hair bright and blonde. It also works great to add a few drops in conditioner to keep hair bright and from going gold/orange. It's a must buy, great value and only takes a few drops.

This is an important product to have in your arsenal for the defense against brassy hair LOL :-) But it's equally important to know how to use it. It is a dark green grayish color, so it best corrects very bright red hair. The product is so concentrated that it has a muddy texture.I personally have had great luck with this product. I mix just a small amount with blue conditioner, I add that combination to my hair dye. My hair is not brassy after dying. You can also make a water based spray with it. I combine just a pinch of this product with about one table spoon of Blue conditioner and 2.5 oz of water to make a corrector perfect for the roots of my hair. My hair is naturally dark brown and gray. I dye my hair up to a light brown with blond highlights.All in all, great product!

I've been using Ardell UnRed with my box dyes and box highlighting kits for several years. I color my hair light ash brown (I'm naturally light brown, with about 30% gray), and I use a highlighting kit on top of that. Without adding UnRed to my mixtures, my hair always ends up pretty orange. I've never had success just adding UnRed to my shampoo or conditioner, or even applying it straight to my hair. That's never worked for me. Perhaps on a blonde it would work, but on a darker-haired girl, I need the more powerful chemical processes created by the hair color kits to actually have the UrRed take effect.But, the real reason I'm writing this review is to share about Mrs. Stewart's Bluing (which I also get on Amazon). It's the same stuff elderly women have used in the past to rinse their white hair in to keep it from looking dull or discolored. I've heard it's where the term "blue hair" (used to describe elderly ladies) came from.Anyway, if you know anything about the color wheel, blue is the opposite of orange, so by rinsing orange-tinged hair in blue water (made by mixing Mrs. Stewart's Bluing in water), any remaining orange that's not taken care of by the UnRed is really neutralized. As anyone who colors hair lighter shades of brown knows, the orange is REALLY hard to prevent. UnRed is my first line of defense, but on top of that, Mrs. Stewart's Bluing is my life-saver.There are two ways I use it. First, I mix Mrs. Stewart's Bluing with my favorite conditioner to make my own special anti-orange conditioner (I make my conditioner about the color of a blueberry). And second, I fill my bathroom sink with water and add the Bluing, and after each shower and I do a final rinse of my hair in that blue water. It doesn't take out 100% of the orange, but it helps A LOT. I do have to be careful, as there have been a couple times that I've made my water a little TOO blue and my hair has ended up a tad greenish-gray. It's not a big deal though, as it comes out at the next shampoo - just give your hair an extra rub between your palms to help get the unwanted blue out.You'll definitely need to experiment with how much Bluing to put in the rinse water. I would recommend starting out by making your water at least the color of the blue hospital signs you see on the road, and go from there. Sometimes I make my water a very deep dark blue. The lighter, and the more damaged your hair, probably the less blue you'll need. I'm not very scientific about it. I just give the bottle one or two big squeezes into the sink of water. Oh, and be sure to use an old (or dark) towel to dry your hair, as the rinse water will leave temporary blue stains on it.I hope this helps someone the way it has helped me!

I should have read more closely, still had a lot of brass on my virgin hair with 20 drops in my dark cool blonde permanent color. No red, just lots of orange. Luckily I had an old box of color laying around so I am now a brunette.

I add this to my regular cream hair color. It it prevents my brown hair color from turning brassy red. I like this product the only problem is the amount is very small for the price.

For someone who colors there own hair this takes and removes all warm tones

Ive used their brassiness remover and it helped some but this does nothing but laugh at me for wasting the money on it. My hair has not been altered at all. I went to cosmetology school and have an idea of what i am doing. This stuff either doesnt work with my hair type (medium thickness caucasian hair) or it was a dud.

I bought this and the Rose Gold color corrector. This is the first product I have found to be green instead of purple. This makes sense if you know your color wheel. It is a very dark green, it looks black when you add it to hair dye. I am just using it in conditioner and it works very well. This definitely is the better product for getting out red tones.
