Gray Hair with Yellow in it
A: This is a common problem and is fortunately fairly easy to treat. There are a number of products available from different makers designed to remove yellow from gray hair. One of the most readily available is "Shimmer Lights" by Clairol, which is usually available in most supermarkets or drug stores.
In some more-stubborn cases, when dealing with 100% gray hair, you can use a high-lift bleaching service to try and strip out the yellowing or a color-toning service using a platinum shade of blonde (basically a color that uses a blue-violet or violet base color) to neutralize the yellow.
However, most people prefer the blueing agents in the anti-yellowing shampoos to a hair color process, since many of the high-lift bleaching and color services can be harsh on the hair.
