I have no cure ...........................but here's a ((HUG)) I hope someone can help. Will shimmering lights eventually wash out?

The Shimmering Lights shouldn't cause the yellow. If anything, too much of it causes blue/purple hair. Yellow is an indication of product build up (oils) which the clarifying shampoo (Paul Mitchell Shampoo 3) should take care of. Thanks for the ((HUG)).

I'm adding a link - I googled this. I do remember my mom using a blue rinse on my grandmother and my aunt (my grandmother's sister) and their beautiful white hair. My aunt had problems with her hair 'yellowing'. You'll have to scroll down a bit.

Thanks, tinam61, but I'm not sure what you wanted me to see in this article as it appears to re-state what I'm doing already.

I think you need Yayagal, I believe she was/is a hair stylist. If she doesn't check this thread, and you don't get any answers here, maybe give her a shout out in a thread directed to her.

Good luck. In the meantime, just tell people you swim for fitness and the pool is doing a number on your hair.

I'm sorry Java - I thought it mentioned the blue rinses, etc. Perhaps I linked the wrong article.

Okay - I'm intrigued now. Linking another article. Do you smoke? Swim? Use a hot appliance on your hair? (curling iron, etc.) Do you have a water filter?

I didn't read this whole article, just skimmed through. Not saying you have an illness causing this - the article talks about other causes also. Also mentions things a stylist can do. Maybe it's time to visit a professional for advice.

Let us know what you find out or if anything works - like i said, I'm intrigued!!

It looks like it could be the Moroccan oil from what I found googling.

Let's see...I swim rarely almost never get my hair wet in a pool. Neither I nor my friends smoke. No water filter. No rash.

I did get my hair product advice from my stylist, who also uses Moroccan oil on my hair. It seems the yellow has increased since my last haircut, so I'm thinking it might be my water. I'm going to try not using the oil, though, and see if that helps.

I have lovely salt and pepper hair (or so people tell me! ;-) ) and use the shimmer lights shampoo. People do comment on my hair and my hairdresser always comments that you can tell that I use it.

I use the shimmering lights everyday and my hair hasn't turned purple yet!

Hi Java, do you have a Sally beauty supply near you? If so, get SHINY SILVER SHAMPOO AND GET THE CONDITIONER TOO. It will actually make blonde hair look silver, I know. Follow the directions, leave the suds on for 3 to 5 minutes (we left them on five for shampoo and five for conditioner) and POOF, no yellow. Shimmer lights is good but not quite as good. When you used it, did you leave it on like the above directions, if not, try what you have with the new formula and then check in.

Yayagal - I do have a Sally Beauty Supply and will check there tomorrow. Should I use that shampoo/conditioner every time I shampoo? Do you recommend laying off of the Moroccan Oil? Thank you for the advice.

Try not using the Moroccan oil for a bit and get your pretty hair back, then, if you feel you need the oil, use it very sparingly. There are so many good product for frizzy hair that cost way less than Moroccan oil. Check them out when you're at Sally's.
