Those who bleach their hair and live in hard water areas (which creates more mineral build-up on strands), should only use it once a week. Meaning, one bottle will last you until your next colour appointment, if not longer. The company aims to make customers feel beautiful and feel good about it by creating products that don’t harm animals or the planet. This hair care brand is 100% vegan-friendly, allowing you to nourish your hair without compromise. Before you left the hairdressers they will have applied a toner. These determine the tone of your blonde, e.g. golden or ash blonde. Over time, these shades have a tendency to turn orange and brassy. Certain things will make this more likely. Dunking your head in a chlorine-filled swimming pool, for example, or not wearing a hot on your summer holiday. Newsflash: whether you like it or not your beautiful blonde will begin to fade, but it's the shampoo you use day in, day out that will make the most difference.

But Zoe Irwin, creative director at John Frieda Salons, advises clients to be careful as purple-based products can be drying. So, next time you're in the middle of a hair disaster, consider grabbing a purple shampoo before you start to panic. But remember that purple shampoo is meant to be a temporary fix until your next dye appointment—not a permanent panacea.Alternate With Moisturizing Shampoo: Alternate your purple shampoo with a moisturizing shampoo," says Wiley. "Depending on how brassy your blonde hair is, you won’t need to use the toning effects every wash, and it is important to add moisture and strengthen hair during the color process to keep hair healthy and strong." The more you use purple shampoo, the more it makes your blonde look dull, because you are continuously depositing color shampoo," Kelly points out. So, while it's important to keep a bottle on hand, that doesn't mean you can eschew your hair appointments altogether. What To Look For in Purple Shampoo What Katie says: "This is the product I never knew I needed. The Olaplex system is the ultimate product range for protecting and caring for bleached hair. So the idea of a toning shampoo with the Olaplex technology inside is mind-blowingly exciting. It has become a must-have for me, as I use it alongside the rest of the range. I particularly like to use it straight after I've had my colour done when my hair is at its most vulnerable. If you're looking for a product that you can 100% rely on, this is that product." Use a Comb to Distribute: To ensure even distribution of your purple shampoo, make sure you use a wide-tooth comb to disperse the product in the shower. As with any shampoo, you want to look for a high-quality one that is sulfate free," he says. "A good rule of thumb is that the lighter it is, the more subtle of a tone it’s going to be. The brighter the purple, the more drastic the results will be."

One of the comments about this product reads, “ Love this conditioner too just make sure you wash it all out or it will leave blue tones to your hair. Once a week paired with the shampoo is all you need to keep your hair looking great!”While many hair care companies are infusing their products with toxic ingredients, the brand decided to formulate their products without any sulfates, and is certified as ZEROSULFATE®. As well as fortifying your strands, most blonde shampoos contain blue or purple pigments that give them their namesake colours. When you use them, they deposit these clever colour enhancing pigments and cancel out any warm, brassy tones, leaving your blonde as bright as it was when you walked out the salon. Not only will a decent blonde shampoo stop your hair from becoming brassy, but it also extends the shelf life of your colour, so you won't have to frequent the salon quite as often. Always Test It First: Bodt always recommends that the first time you use a purple shampoo to mix it with a little of your regular shampoo to see how potent it is; you don't want to wind up with purple hair accidentally. I decant half my purple shampoo into half a bottle of Oribe Shampoo For Moisture Control," she says.
