I was looking into toner because the yellow on my white hair was so wrong. The baking soda works. Really works. I cannot wait for a cumulative success. Thank you so much.

Ok Sharon I'm going to try it you never fail me on other advice .....Thank you

I can’t wait to give this a try! I thought it was the product buildup and curling iron combination that was causing my yellow hair.

I found this video ( and you!😀) today.... I have been struggling to get the yellow tones out of my previously white/gray hair for months! So, now I am going to put some bi-carb into my shampoo today and see what it does.. THANK YOU!!

Thank you Sharon

Yep, I've had the 'purple' tint issue too! I've noticed the 'purple' also tends to dry out my hair. Started back using a vinegar rinse like I used to years ago; your method looks very simple and efficient; Since I'm only doing the vinegar bath once a week, I will likely throw this in as a midweek treatment. Since I have a private well, I am always fighting the brass.

Thanks for this great tip😘

Thank you!!! You gave me the courage to throw away all my blue shampoos and blue conditioners. I probably need to throw away all my other shampoos that are not clear or white.

Great tips. However, I have used nothing but baking soda & water to wash my hair for years. After a very THROUGH rinsing I condition with apple cider vinegar. (The vinegar scent fades) This leaves my hair clean & fresh smelling. This also leaves my salt & pepper hair shining.

I tried baking soda washing and apple cider vinegar rinsing and it made my hair look yellowish-not severely but not sparkling white like the blue shampoos/blue conditioners. I may try again and use white vinegar perhaps with better results. Also one has to consider the water in the area which may be the culprit in my yellowish hair results 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you for all you do for us. At 67 and with my white hair you have taken my stuck in the past make-up to a flattering mature look. No longer do I have cakey make-up or too dark eyebrows. I say white hair for I always prayed I wouldn’t have grey hair and God with his sense of humor made it go a flattering white. Now I have the right shampoo. Thanks again.

I love your videos because the years you have spent as a makeup artist with all of the trial and error of different makeup....I don’t have to go down that expensive road!

So very sorry to hear that, but glad you won't be going down that road again.

I like your tip.. For years I have added a handful of baking soda to my shampoo in my hand every week. The scrubbing of the soda strips out all the hairspray and styling products leaving you with hair full of volume and no yellow. It does make hair dry, so conditioner is needed. I like your idea.. keep one bottle without soda for in-between shampoos! Thanks Sharon!! Stay safe and well!

Thank you very much for posting this video! I’m in the process of trying this out and love the idea that it is cheap and easy to add to a morning routine. QUESTION: Can I apply the baking soda -. several times in 1 day - in order to get rid of the yellowing and then continue using it weekly as a maintainer? I’ve done one treatment, leaving it on for 10 mins and it only seemed to lighten the yellow. Look forward to your reply/suggestions if you have time. Take care and thanks again!

Best to shampoo with baking soda weekly till the yellow is gone. Hope that helps.

This video is several years old so I don’t know if you’ll see this question. But I use bar shampoo. Is there another way to use the baking soda? Thank you

I may give this a try but I was looking for a no commercial shampoo way to wash my grey hair. I’ve been using blue shampoos and blue conditioners for years but even using once a week my scalp is so dry. I have never had any issue with blue tint to my hair and I’ve used many brands through the years (purchased at the drug store or Walmart etc-aka no expensive salon shampoos). Maybe this happened when there is still chemically colored hair because they would leave the hair stripped and porous. One of those pictures I’ll wager that person dyed her hair grey during that little grey hair trend a few years ago. Thank you and I may give your recipe a try! I simply want to use less/no chemicals. 💖

Just make sure you condition well afterward and whatever shampoo you mix your baking soda with, only use a little and rinse well. I still stand behind not recommending blue or tinted shampoos but am glad it hasn't affected your hair at all.

I was wondering if baking soda will make your hair dry and brittle? FYI, I use baking soda as exfoliating body scrub. It works wonderful. it’s good for your laundry it’s good for swimming pool what else is it good for. I’ve never tried it on my hair I’m about to Thanks so much for the tips. no one wants yellow gray hair. It looks so unhealthy.

Thank you and as stated, using a good conditioner afer shampooing is essential.

i just went grey during the pandemic and i have very hard well water. My hair doesn't look grey - it looks dirty blonde. I don't want dirty blonde hair. Purple shampoos seem to be the go-to and I've tried SO SO MANY of them and they didn't work on me! I thought going grey was going to be less maintenance than coloring myhair and worrying about the roots but I've been working so hard to get clean bright silver it's so frustrating. I'm going to have to try this and use bottled water to rinse otherwise I'm fighting a losing battle with my water ! and yes I have a filter on my shower head that I change regularly. So frustrating.

Hi, Christine, I am going through the same thing as you. My grey hair is yellowing from the community well water (which I suspect has a lot of chlorine in it). I have tried everything (even harsh chemicals). I finally tried the baking soda (thanks to this video !) however it didn’t seem to work, maybe lightened it a bit. So, as Sharon said it might take a few times - I will try it again. I DON’T KNOW if you can try this back-to-back or if you have to wait a few days in between. Yes, this is frustrating! I have a salt water system which I turned up recently to see if it would help and I’ll be purchasing a shower head filter tomorrow. I wish you luck! - Please do an update and let us know how it’s going. I’ll try and do the same.

I am almost 65 and have almost waist length bay fine hair with a multitude of natural colors: blonde, brown, black, white, silver, gray, and even some red. Like I said it is baby fine and though I have a lot of hair it is not thick and heavy. I use products but am having issues... what do you do in this situation when it seems all the products you use cause scabbing and colored bumps on your face? Dr told me to use a medicated shampoo but we all know that that kind of shampoo damages the hair.

First of all having long thin fine hair doesn't work for well for style or for care. Perhaps a dermatologist would be better to advise you as I'm not medically qualified to do so. Wishing you good luck with your issue.

You so right about purple shampoo that is for toning blonde hair... IT is only ever going to. Give a blue CAST to grey OK if you want to go back to the 1950s... Can't see you like that SHARON 😂😂😂WITH A LITTLE PERMED CURLY BLUE RINCE 🤣🤣🤣

So what's wrong with yellow? I don't understand this desire to mess with graying hair. Who came up with this? And why? Reminds me of the eyebrow craze, just lemmings throwing time and money at nothing.
