Purple shampoo is the most common, but something that is blue-tinted would work even better. Blue sits opposite orange on the color wheel, so a blue-tinted toning shampoo will be more effective at balancing out the orange.  This method is recommended for those who bleached their hair, and hot roots. Be aware that this method will also tone the rest of your hair as well. If you can't find a toning shampoo, make your own by stirring a few drops of dark blue or purple dye into white conditioner. You want violet/lavender color. You can do this by leaning over a sink and running water over it, but it would be even easier to just undress and step into the shower. You can even combine this method with your evening or morning shower. Using hot water is important as it will open up the hair shaft. This will make it easier for the hair to absorb the color in the shampoo. Massage the shampoo into your roots first, then work it through the rest of your hair. Because this shampoo contains so little color, you can use it like you would any other shampoo and not worry about it staining your hands. This depends on the brand you are using, so check the label. Some types of shampoo require you to rinse the dye out immediately, while others recommend that you leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. Because this shampoo is so gentle, however, you can leave it on for longer depending on the damage. You can leave the shampoo on for up to an hour. If you need to step out of the shower, tuck your hair under a shower cap. Keep rinsing until the water runs clear. You can follow up with a sulfate-free conditioner meant for color-treated hair. If you made your own toning shampoo with white conditioner, skip the extra conditioner. Using cool water will help seal the hair shaft and lock in the color. It will also help make your hair shiny and smooth. You can let your hair air dry, or you can apply a heat-protectant product and speed things up with a hair dryer. Your roots should be a cooler color than before. If you bleached your hair all over, they might be a light orange color. Sometimes, chemically-treated hair just goes brassy over time. If this is the case for you, you'd want to use the toning shampoo once per week.

Summary: Purchase a blue or purple toning shampoo. Get your hair wet with hot water. Apply the shampoo to your hair, starting from the roots. Allow the shampoo to sit in your hair, if needed. Rinse the shampoo out with cool water. Dry your hair. Use the shampoo once per week if the brassiness comes back.

It’s important to identify and understand passive aggressive behavior and not jump to conclusions about your husband’s behavior. The biggest denotation of passive aggressive behavior is a mismatch between someone’s actions and behaviors, especially around anger, and passive aggressiveness can be thought of as a covert way of showing anger. Understanding the behavior can be helpful in identifying what is underlying your husband’s words or actions, and how you can respond to what underlies the passive aggression, and not just respond to the behavior.  Passive aggressiveness is different than the occasional defensiveness or lateness. A passive aggressive behavior is purposeful and often becomes a pattern.  It’s easy to get sucked into this type of interaction, then feel blamed or at fault when this can be a tactic of manipulation. Someone who is passive aggressive refuses to take responsibility for his behavior. Your husband may lie or blame you to skirt acknowledging that he hurt you (or someone else). Methods like rationalizing, making excuses, and minimizing may be ways of denying his behavior or the impact his actions make.  Your husband may “forget” to pick up the dry cleaning, or say you didn’t remind him to get the kids after school. He may pretend that he didn’t do something when there’s obvious evidence that he did. Somehow, no matter what, he finds a way to make everything your fault and not his. He may blame you for his anger and making him explode or hit you. He finds ways to evade responsibility and blame for hurting other people. Does your husband find ways to twist the truth in order to escape blame? Do you find him constantly blaming you for things that go wrong, even if you had nothing to do with them? Instead of articulating his wants and needs, he may walk off in the middle of an argument, stop talking to you or try to put an end to a discussion by saying, “Why should I even bother responding? You’re always right.” He may also withhold things like money, sex, or other items as a way to hold power.  If your husband gives things away that are yours or throws away things that are important to you, this is also a form of withholding. Does your husband try to exert power over you by withholding emotions? What about withholding things? Being chronically late can be one way of expressing passive aggressiveness. It’s a way to say, “This isn’t important to me” or “what I’m doing is more important than what you planned.” Do you find yourself often waiting for your husband to get off the computer or turn off the tv when you have something planned? Does he make excuses about being caught up at work or blaming traffic, more often than not? Doing tasks or chores half-heartedly can be a form of passive aggressiveness. He may procrastinate doing tasks, and then apply minimal effort so that you have to do it over for him afterward.  Doing tasks in this way may be his way of saying, “I don’t care about this (or you), and I’ll make it obvious by not doing a good job.” Does your husband often not complete tasks, find ways to put them off, or make excuses for why they were done poorly?

Summary: Identify passive aggressive behavior. Look for denial. Watch him playing the victim. Understand withholding. Recognize chronic lateness. Keep an eye on incompetency.
