“Purple shampoo does not lighten your hair but brightens it. Even if you do not have dyed hair, it will still keep your natural hair color fresh and prevent your hair from becoming too yellow,” Taylor explains.
Sure! Purple shampoo won't harm non-color treated hair, it's just like any other shampoo. The purpose of the slight purple pigment is to add a cool tone shine to contrast brassy tones that come out of color treated blondes and keep them looking healthy, but it will add cool tone shine to any color hair.
You can use purple shampoo on dark hair, it won't hurt or help, it doesn't matter. Purple shampoo is essentially just a toner; it removes brassiness from bleached hair. However, make sure you do not overuse it! It will dye your blonde to purple, so I'd recommend using it about once a week!
For red hair, using purple shampoo can have mixed effects: Color Fading: Red hair dye is known for fading quickly, and purple shampoo can accelerate this process. The purple pigments may interact with the red tones, potentially leading to a duller or less vibrant red over time.
Did you know that most purple shampoos can make your hair too dry? It's designed to remove brassiness from your hair, but if used incorrectly they can leave a buildup on your strands that makes them brittle and dull.
If you leave purple shampoo in your hair for 30 minutes, the risk of over-toning increases significantly. While purple shampoo is designed to neutralize brassy or yellow tones, leaving it on for an extended period can lead to overly cool or even purple-tinted hair, especially for those with light or porous hair.
On the flip side, if you leave the shampoo on for too long or don't rinse it out thoroughly, those violet pigments can overstay their welcome, leaving your hair with a grungy, grayish-purple tint. Not exactly the icy blonde look you were going for, right?
Yes! Even natural blondes have underlying brassy hues. Excessive heat styling, too much sun exposure, and even the hard minerals in your water can bring these undertones out, leaving your blonde looking dull and discolored. Purple shampoo works on natural blonde hair like it does on dyed or bleached blonde hair.
Although the typical combination of red and blonde often leads to an orange hue, an exception exists—applying bleach (and toner) to light red hair. This particular blend produces a strawberry blonde, which bears a subtle reddish tinge and sets it apart from conventional blondes.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I USE PURPLE SHAMPOO? Keep in mind that purple shampoo does not replace your regular shampoo and should only be used once or twice a week. Doss warns that there is such a thing as too much purple.
Brass usually shows up as yellow or orange tones in blonde hair and orange or red tones in brunette hair. Brassy hair is caused by an overabundance of warm pigments in your hair, usually caused by bleaching and the hair coloring process.
Over time, purple shampoo can help reduce brassy tones, especially between salon visits. It is specifically formulated to cater to blonde tones, making it an excellent choice for anyone with natural blonde hair. Whether your hair is light blonde or a deeper honey shade, purple shampoo can help enhance its beauty.
Purple shampoo works the same way to eliminate brassiness on brown hair as it does on blonde. It helps to prevent color fade, while emphasizing shine, keeping brown hair vibrant and rich. Using purple shampoo on brown hair regularly will take out any unwanted warm tones in your strands.
It might look slightly cooler or even have a hint of purple, but it's not permanent.
HOW TO GET RID OF BRASSY HAIR. Unwanted brassy tones can appear in any hair color, affecting those with both color-treated and natural hair. To fix brassy hair, you need to understand what it is your hair needs. The simplest way is to picture the color wheel.
Purple Shampoo on Red Hair:
If you have naturally red hair a purple shampoo may not make much of a difference but it can help those with chemically dyed red hair. Purple shampoo will not fade or remove red color but can impact its visual effect. A purple shampoo used sparingly can help remove bronzy and brassy tones.
Blue shampoo is a cleansing toner that helps to keep your brunette hair cool and ashy. Its blue pigments draw out the natural orange and red undertones from your brown hair and instantly knock out those unwanted warm hues.
Silver toner for brown hair? Why not. You could use a silver toner on brown hair to remove any yellow tones, or to refresh the cool tones (for example on ash brown or cool cocoa shades). Dark silver hair toner should be used on dark shades, not light blondes.
Whether blonde or brunette, many tones can benefit from a purple shampoo. The unexpected hue may just be the secret to keeping your color fresh and vibrant. Using a purple toning shampoo is a key step in keeping your hair color looking fresh, vibrant, and like you just left the salon.
Purple shampoo is a fantastic product for those with silver or gray hair. As we've discussed earlier, it helps neutralize yellow tones that can make gray hair appear dull or discolored. Using it will maintain a cool, silvery hue and keep your gray hair looking fresh and vibrant.
Too much purple tone in these products can cause the hair to look dull and over toned. The more orange the hair throws off from the shampoo lightening the natural hair, the more the public use the toning shampoo to tone out the warmth, resulting in over toned, murky, green/khaki, dull looking blonde hair.
Would not buy again. I bough this as a first time dyed hair never would buy again. It has dried my hair out so much.
