Recommend your Purple Shampoo

[Deleted]

I get highlights about every 6 months but between visits, my hair tends to look more yellow/brassy. I love how it looks when I leave the salon and from what I can tell, using Purple Shampoo at home will help me keep up that look between appointments. BUT there are so many options, I'm not sure where to start. What brand do you recommend?

[chilerellanos]

We’ve been using the redken purple shampoo and conditioner.

I use it about 1-2 times a week. My 16 yo who likes her hair as cool as she can get it uses it much more frequently.

[arielroux]

I use the Sun Bum purple shampoo and conditioner like once a week, and I use their purple tone enhancer leave-in spray on other days when I use regular shampoo but still dry and style my hair.

Careful with using purple shampoo too much. My hairdresser has told me that someone used it basically every time they shampoo and it gave their hair a purple tint. And it wasn't quite a cute purple tint.

Pureology has a good one. I've also started to use loreal and like it too.

Thanks. I did actually ready a warning about that. I only wash my hair 1-2 times a week as it is and so would probably only use the purple shampoo maybe 3-4 times a month.

I like the Redken one.

I did NOT like the Kristin Ess one from Target.

[namasteak]

I like the olaplex purple shampoo.

You could also go for just toner in between highlight appointments.

Do with this what you will but my latest stylist recommended that I put my purple shampoo on dry, cover it with a shower cap and leave it on 20 minutes. I do see a difference when I do that and I think it was a bit of a social media trend for a while.

ETA: I had a very bad experience with brassy tones when I attempted to do highlights at home and used an entire bottle of blue and purple shampoo each and did not turn my hair purple. I would have welcomed it.

This is what I use as recommended by my stylist for my blonde highlights. She recommends using it once a week and leaving it on for five minutes. She says to use regular shampoo first and shampoo twice, then do the purple shampoo.

I use the Moroccan Oil brand purple shampoo.

Fanola

[sarahswim]

I use Fanola-bought on Amazon after my colorist recommended it.

I use the cheap L’Oréal stuff. I only was my hair 2x/week but use it and purple conditioner every time. My hair is definitely not purple.

[starlily]

Fanola, on the recommendation of my stylist. I wash my hair 2x/week and use it every 3rd or 4th wash.

[aries]

I love clairol shimmer lights shampoo (and use it frequently). It’s quite cheap and works well!

Another Fanola (bought on Amazon).

[makncheez]

I 2nd the Moroccan Oil purple shampoo. I also like the one from Unite.

[penelope]

I like the Amika purple shampoo and conditioner. I use it once a week and my hair isn't purple. I've also used the Moroccan Oil shampoo and it was good. I think the Amika one leaves my hair shinier, along with removing the brassiness.

[m15]

I have been using Joico. It's my favorite that I've tried. I only wash my hair twice a week, so I use the purple for one of those washes.

[moreace01]

I've used Amika - which was nice. Kevin Murphy - expensive. Kristin Ess - eh. John Frieda. I can't say I have noticed a huge difference in brassiness with any brand? But I will say that they all can be very drying.

Also - I started using them a lot (a few times a week) and then went to get my hair colored - lightened and then added some pink - and the pink didn't take. My stylist thought it might be because my hair was so dry. So I guess - something to keep in mind.

Olaplex No. 4P

I’ve tried so many purple shampoos over the years and this is by far the best one.

[trissie18]

I use this one and my hair has remained healthy even when I was bleaching all of it and now with whole head blond highlights every 8-10 weeks.

I’ve been using Pravana once every week or two & I really like it. I have nothing to compare it to, so don’t know if it’s a good one or not.

[thedutchgirl]

I use Aveda’s purple toning shampoo and like it a lot

[mortomo]

I get cool blonde babylights and use the Amika Bust Your Brass line. I wash my hair once or twice a week and use the Amika every other to every 3rd wash (so once or twice a month). My stylist told me that Amika isn't as harsh on your hair as most purple shampoo brands.

[mrsukyankee]

I use a purple conditioner instead of purple shampoo as the shampoo dried out my hair. I use Clairol Shimmering Lights (or something like that). I use it every two weeks, allow it to sit in my hair while I wash my body and shave my legs and it's fabulous.
