What does the term "ash" in hair color mean?

Answer 1

I'm a cosmetologist so I am familiar with this question. The cool (ash) colors are blue, green, and purple. When the hair color names refer to "dark ash blonde" and so forth, it means they have a green, blue, or purple undertones. You should be careful with these colors. If you put a green or blue undertone color on a warm color (especially a gold/yellow color) hair...most shades of blonde except for strawberry blonde that has red in it, you will come out with green tones in your hair. If you have brown hair with red highlights and you can't stand the red, then you would use the opposite color on the wheel to neutralize the red. In this case, the neutralizing color would be green (ash). Ash is generally used to remove red tones from hair color.
