This is completely up to you and your desired look. In general, we recommend applying a purple shampoo every hair wash (once to twice a week) and alternating between a purple conditioner and your usual conditioner in between washes.
Rinse with cool water
After rinsing, you'll finish by applying a conditioner to moisturize your hair.
No, it's not recommended to use a regular conditioner as a leave-in conditioner. A leave-in conditioner is formulated to be lightweight yet nourishing. A regular conditioner when used as a leave-in conditioner will weigh down your hair and can cause scalp irritation as well.
Yes, hair should be conditioned after haircolor, but it's better to condition the hair after the color is rinsed and before the shampoo.
Drying Out: Leaving purple shampoo on for an extended period can dry out your hair, especially if it's already processed or damaged. Color Build-Up: If used too frequently or left on too long, purple shampoo can lead to an unwanted violet tint in your hair.
Honestly, The best advice that we can give in order to get your purple-stained hair back to normal is to just wash it a few times using regular shampoo, If you have an inexpensive anti-dandruff shampoo to hand then that will work even better!
Purple shampoo should be applied in the shower or during a hair wash. While your hair is wet, apply the shampoo and lather it onto your hair.
Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and what works best for your hair type. However, a few tips can help you make the most of your hair care routine. To maximize the benefits of your conditioner, it's crucial to apply it promptly after shampooing.
If you don't use a conditioner specially formulated for color-treated hair, you won't get the results you want.
Post-color washing is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of your hair. By cleansing and conditioning, salons help in closing the hair cuticles, locking in moisture, and preserving the smoothness of your locks.
Leaving conditioner in your hair overnight can leave behind grimy residue, comprising proteins, silicones, and other chemicals present in the product. Continuous exposure to this residue may lead to undesirable outcomes such as split ends, breakage, allergic reactions, and damage to the hair cuticle.
If your hair is still frizzy after using a leave-in conditioner, you might be using too much or too little product or not distributing it evenly. Factors like humidity, damage from heat styling, and not using a deep conditioner regularly can also contribute to ongoing frizz.
Don't use on very dry hair
It is important to get the hair into a healthy condition before using purple shampoo because hair is more porous when it is dry and those dry areas can absorb more product which could create unevenness in tone and darken those areas more. This in turn will create a patchy purple effect.
Always use conditioner.
Purple shampoo can be drying, so be sure to follow up with a purple conditioner and/or your favorite color-protecting hair mask to restore lost moisture.
Let the Shampoo Sit
Let the shampoo sit for two to five minutes depending on how brassy your hair is and how ashy you like your color, then rinse thoroughly. The difference between two minutes and four minutes with purple shampoo is a big one so keep an eye out. It may be helpful to set a timer so you don't go over.
Conditioner is best paired with non-developer-based semi-permanent and direct dyes, as when used with permanent or developer-based dyes, conditioner can interfere with the chemical reaction and oxidation process required for lasting color, potentially resulting in uneven or inconsistent coloring.
Put simply, your client should wait as long as they can before washing their freshly colored hair, as this allows the cuticles to fully close up and seal in their dream shade. For some, this could be 48 hours, while others may be able to hold on for up to one week.
Cold water should be used when rinsing out the conditioner from your hair at the end of wash day. This is because cold water closes the hair cuticles and pores in the scalp. This process adds luster and shine to the hair as the cuticles have been closed.
As your hair has been recently chemically treated, it is important to have a nourishing and hydrating treatment to use after shampooing. You can incorporate a non-toning conditioner or use a toning conditioner for blonde hair for an added effect.
Additionally, prolonged exposure to the potent pigments in purple shampoo may cause dryness or damage, particularly for individuals with already compromised hair.
