Cigarette Smoke Yellow Hair
A: Yellowing of the skin and nails are common side-effects of smoking, but many people don’t notice the effect smoking has on the color of their hair, because their hair color may be darker or of a tone that yellow doesn’t contradict as much.
To combat this problem, you need to use a shampoo that will remove the residue left by the cigarette smoke. A good clarifying shampoo is perfect for this purpose and in many cases it will be all you need to get the yellowing removed. However, in some cases, with heavy smokers or yellowing that has been on the hair for a long period, you may need something more.
In this case you want to look for an “anti-yellow” shampoo, such as Clairol’s “Shimmer Lights”. These products contain bluing agents which counter the yellow tones in the hair. They can remove the yellow look from platinum blonde and silver hair and can make golden blonde hair look less brassy.
