You’re feeling satisfied with your freshly colored blonde tresses, and then suddenly, you notice some brassy tones. Where did those come from? Everyday factors like the sun, salt water, hard water, chlorine, or the wrong haircare products can work against your color. Adding purple shampoo to your routine can help prevent the unwelcome brassiness that can come with dyeing your hair blonde.
Let’s examine how purple shampoo can work to your advantage and when to incorporate it into your existing haircare routine.
So, What Does Purple Shampoo Do?
Purple shampoo — also referred to as toning shampoo — helps maintain your vibrant blonde tresses by color-correcting your hair, meaning it neutralizes unwanted yellow or brassy tones. Adding it to your routine can help you extend the life of your at-home hair color. Correcting your hair’s shade can restore it to its previous vibrancy, with cooler tones included.
How Does Purple Shampoo Work?
Purple shampoos are formulated with a purple pigment that counterbalances yellow and brassy tones. Why this royal hue? On the color wheel, it’s the opposite of yellow, so the two cancel one another out.
How Often to Use Purple Shampoo
It’s important to point out that purple shampoo does not replace your regular cleansing and conditioning routine. It should only be incorporated once or twice a week. When overused, your hair can appear darker than you want because you eliminate too much yellow. You also risk your strands picking up a slight purple hue — especially if you have incredibly light or damaged hair. It’s genuinely formulated to be a refresher rather than a part of your daily routine.

Can Brunettes Use Purple Shampoo?
While blonde hair can become yellow and brassy, brunettes tend to battle orange tones. That said, those with darker hair tones are better off with a blue shampoo — especially if the hair is on the darker side.
