White Hair with a Yellow Tinge
Q: I am a 55-year-old male with virtually white hair. When I was younger, it was jet black. I don't use any dye or treatment. I like it white. Lately, my hair has a yellow tinge. What's happening here?A: This could be a result of anything from a vitamin deficiency in your diet, the effect of medications you may be taking, exposure to pollutants, or hard water deposits; plus countless other causes, like staining caused by other styling products. You would have to carefully evaluate the possible changes in your diet, routine, and health to know if there is a connection.
I propose using both shampoos to make sure that if the cause of the problem is a residue or build up of some kind, the clarifying shampoo can help remove the build-up so that the brightening agents can work better. I have a number of older clients who use Shimmer Lights and love it. Ageist attitudes aside, I personally think there is nothing more striking than a head full of white hair that is obviously well cared for.
