Question for Relaxed Ladies with Greys

[SweetSpirit86]

My mom recently relaxed her hair with Olive Oil DIY Relaxer. She's got greys and now they're...greenish....like blonde hair when you stay in the pool too long...erplexed

What caused this? Is there a way to fix it?

Does your mother have any other color in her hair?

 

[SweetSpirit86]

She said no

For me, no lye relaxers just strip my hair of color.The only way I know how to fix it is to color over it with a rinse. Lye relaxers are weaker and doesn't change my color but lye relaxers give me the texlaxed look. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help. No lye makes my black hair turn brownish red.

There are products that make grey hair stay grey - tell her to chelate and then find the right product.

Thanks I'll let her know

That's so interesting, let us know if you find out what caused it. I have a few greys myself, that have become more evident since I stopped Henna'ing.

I have a grey birthmark and I relax. it's normal for it to change colors to be green and yellow in some cases. what I do is use a good shampoo to fully rinse out the relaxer. they also make a keep white/grey product whenever you are using relaxer so it doesn't change colors. now that I've relaxed for so long it longer changes to green.

A blonde friend on mine would put ketchup in her hair to reverse the green. It worked for her, I wonder if it would work for your mom. Sounds gross but worth a try right?

Jhirmack makes a purple shampoo and conditioner that I use to take the brassiness out of my blond-streaked hair. My grandma used it to "blue" her gray hair.

It's at walmart.
