Purple shampoo is a colored shampoo specifically produced for people with blonde to white or gray hair for toning or covering yellowing hair that can be caused by heat damage, mineral buildup, sun damage, and chlorine damage. This shampoo contains a dye that is known as Violet #2. Purple is opposite yellow on the color wheel, so it helps cover or hide yellow tones.
Water or chemicals like bleach and chlorine can damage light hair and turn its colors brassy and yellowed. Whether you are a natural blonde, have dyed your hair a lighter color, or have recently gone gray, purple shampoo can restore more natural and glossy color to your hair.
- Wet your hair with warm water as it is soothing and healing to your hair. The temperature helps expand your hair shafts that allowing you to better absorb the shampoo.
- Apply the purple shampoo to your hair from root to tip. Massage it gently as you work the shampoo through your hair. Let is sit for 3-5 never more than 15 minutes and then rinse with cool water.
- Use purple shampoo once a week with alternate non-tinted shampoos. Increase the frequency if you are noticing changes after a month. To prevent brittle hair, deep condition your hair once a month
Be patient when using purple shampoo. Although you may see some results at first, it can take several treatments to see a substantial change in your hair color. Essentially, the purple shampoo will deposit a small amount of violet pigment into your yellowy hair. Enjoy your cool-toned blonde!
