Ash blue is such a gorgeous color if you can achieve it. Sometimes the blue dye you use results in a purple or green hair color instead of the ash blue you wanted.

The only way to fix this problem is to use Pravana Ash Blue Corrector to correct the color and get your hair back to ash blue.

You will need Pravana Ash Blue Corrector, lightener and developer

You will need Pravana Ash Blue Corrector, lightener and developer. You’ll also need a bowl and two applicators (one for the mixture and one for rinsing).

Mix the corrector with the lightener and developer in a bowl until you have a smooth mixture that is neither too thick nor too thin.

You should be able to pull the applicator across your hair without resistance gently. Apply this mixture to your hair and leave it on for 20 minutes before rinsing out of your hair.

Mix 2 oz of lightener with 2/3 oz of 10 volume developer.

This is the ratio that works best for me. If you have very dark hair and want to add a lot of light, feel free to add more powder.

Mix the mixture in a plastic bowl (not metal) to avoid rust stains on your scalp and mixing stick.

Mix thoroughly until it’s smooth and creamy, like mayonnaise. Cover it with a plastic shower cap and leave it on your head for 40 minutes while you do something else

Mix Pravana Ash Blue Corrector with Lightener and Developer.

Pravana Ash Blue Corrector is a blue-toned color that counteracts orange, red and yellow tones in the hair.

To use it to get rid of those unwanted hues, you’ll want to mix equal parts of Pravana Ash Blue Corrector with your lightener or developer.

To mix 1 oz of Pravana Ash Blue Corrector with 1 oz of the developer:

• Pour these ingredients into a mixing bowl (a plastic bowl will do).
• Mix thoroughly until all clumps have dissolved and there are no streaks left behind on the solution’s surface.

Apply the Ash Blue Corrector mixture to the hair using a tint brush.

• Apply the Ash Blue Corrector mixture to the hair using a tint brush.
• Brush on in sections, working from back to front until you have covered all of your hair with this product.

Allow the mixture to process for 40 minutes under plastic wrap or a processing cap

In the next step, you’ll need to allow your mixture to process for 40 minutes under plastic wrap or a processing cap. Plastic wrap is better than a processing cap because it prevents dye from leaking into your hair and makes it easier to work.

Rinse out thoroughly, and then shampoo, condition and style as usual.

Rinse out thoroughly, and then shampoo, condition and style as usual. Repeat if you want to go darker.

This is a temporary solution if you want your hair to be ash blue

This is not a permanent solution; the color will fade in about a month. You can repeat the process and use a more potent developer to make it last longer. You can also use a toner after you’re done bleaching to get lighter or more ash-blue hair.

Conclusion

Once again, Pravana Ash Blue Corrector is a great product, but if you want to go blue, you should use a permanent color like Pravana Vivids Violet or Pravana ChromaSilk Vivids in Sky Blue. Doing this makes your hair stay blue for months instead of days.
