Product Information

It's important to understand that purple shampoo will work differently on all hair types. This is particularly the case if you have dry, bleached, or color-treated hair. Considering many people in the market for purple shampoo have chemically processed hair, it's important to know that you can actually overuse the shampoo, resulting in more of a purple tinting rather than a toning. The best way to avoid this? Start slow and work up from there if you find your hair needs it. Although individuals with darker hair may worry about draining their hair of colour, silver and platinum coloured hair benefits from leaving the shampoo in longer. It's a simple process, explains Morgan. "Massage the shampoo in your hands until it suds up, and then apply it to wet hair," he says. "Massage the product throughout the hair and leave on for one to five minutes depending on the level of brassiness." Condition your hair as you normally would with an anti- yellow conditioner to moisturise your hair. Purple conditioner will strengthen the tone’s intensity. After that time has passed, rinse your hair out with cool water. Since your roots have a lower porosity than your ends, they will need more time to absorb the shampoo and as such, the shampoo will need to be applied there first.

Sure, it's always tempting to go lighter (I legit contemplate this weekly), but one thing no one tells you about being blonde? It’s super high-maintenance—besides the constant root touch-ups and weekly deep conditioning masks, if you use the wrong shampoo, your beautiful blonde could turn, uh, yellow? Yeah, not great.

Mondo warns that because purple shampoo deposits pigment onto the hair, if you use it too often, or keep it on too long, your hair can turn a little too purple, especially if it's particularly dry or damaged. To avoid this, he recommends using the product until the desired level of tone is achieved, and then "weekly, or every other week, for maintenance." What should you use after purple shampoo? functions,” explains GH Beauty Lab Director Birnur Aral, Ph.D. “Mixing brands and collections may produce less effective results, including under- or over-conditioning.”

If you have a naturally blonde or a warm, mildly brassy blonde hair colour, let the shampoo sit for about 3-4 minutes. Leave for 15 minutes on brassy or colour-treater hair. Leave for 30 minutes on grey, silver or platinum hair. We also test shampoos in the Lab using a swatch-wash station in a process where exact doses of each formula are dispensed onto human hair swatches of different textures and types. This allows us to calculate cleansing ability. Last, all of the testing data points (usually in the thousands!) are tallied to determine the winning formulas. How to find the best shampoo for your hair typeIt might say blonde on the bottle but, don't worry, this radiance shampoo works just as well on your grey.

You need a brightening, hydrating formula that also strengthen strands, as grey hair can often become weak. It can also suffer with 'brassy' tones so, to keep it chic and sleek, colour-neutralising violet-toned and purple shampoos often used by blondes will revitalise your grey hair, too. For dry hair, shop "moisturizing,” “hydrating,” “nourishing,” “replenishing” or “softening.” These shampoo and conditioner formulations are made with higher quantities of conditioning ingredients to coat strands, making them silkier and more supple. For color-treated hair, shop “color protection,” “fade protection,” “color care” or “color safe.” These procuts have gentler or lower ratios of cleansers and more conditioners to prevent color loss. Contrary to popular belief, purple shampoo doesn't actually lighten your hair. Instead, it deposits purple pigments to neutralize warm tones, making it appear brighter," says Mondo. And as much as it's possible to overuse the shampoo, temporarily giving your hair a purple hue, in other cases, "you may not see desired results until two or three uses of purple shampoo," says Morgan. Consider your hair type It's also important to buy the matching shampoo and conditioner set when possible.“Shampoos and conditioners are developed and tested for efficacy in pairs, which allows their manufacturers to optimize ingredients for their individualIf you have coloured blonde hair, the last thing you want is for your hair to go brassy and yellow. Unfortunately, it's very common for colour-treated hair to change tone, especially through exposure to the sun, environmental pollutants and other factors.
