[@amandarobbins2530]

Hey Lou :) hairdresser here - On the colour wheel purple is opposite to yellow, and blue is opposite to orange. Because your hair is about a level 8, it is showing brassy tones (as opposed to yellow tones) so purple isn't going to be strong enough to neutralise those tones. I would recommend a blue shampoo like Fanola No Orange for your hair colour ! It's going to be a lot stronger to neutralise the darker brassy tones as purple only really works on pale blonde hair.

[@heylouzers]

Amanda Robbins 👍🏼

[@karensunshine9120]

That was very sweet of you to suggest. 😊👍🏻

[@amandarobbins2530]

I know for non hairdressers it's actually hard to navigate the thousands of products out there. There are just so many. Just my 2 cents - Lou I personally think your hair looks fab :)

[@jasminerogers8193]

Amanda Robbins hi! What Wella toner would you recommend for a level 8 with brassy/orange tones??

[@amandarobbins2530]

Jasmine Rogers Lou's highlights look to be a level 8. In a level 8 you see 'gold' tones that are in between orange and yellow. If it's quite orange I'd say it's closer to a level 7. You always want to tone on level. So if it's a level 8, with brassy tones - both orange and yellow - I would use a level 8 pearl, or a level 8 ash-violet because the ash will tackle the orange tones and the violet will tackle the yellow tones. Keep in mind when hair is warm toned it always looks lighter, because warmth reflects more light, so when you use a toner your hair will always look a little bit darker. Make sure with a toner you're only using 5volume developer because anything stronger will cause lift in the areas that are still virgin hair (like the roots and the sections left out between highlights) and it can turn them orange.

[@S-R-H]

I feel like it looks brighter on the purple side but..who knows.

The purple bottles I read say they're supposed to make it brighter, but still paler. I guess a bright white is better than a dull blonde white

[@anjeanetteschannel]

Cinnabun you can buy it on amazon, prices depend on which size you get and they change occasionally. Today when I looked it up, a 350ml bottle is $13.75 USD, and a 1000ml bottle is $19.99 USD both on amazon.

I think "brassy" gets a bad rep, unless you're aiming for a platinum blonde. I've always envied your golden blonde color that I think is fabulous with your skin tone. I used to add a cap-or-three of ash blonde to my light blonde hair color to remove brassiness when I was young but now feel more gold is better around my face. Sometimes drabbing down blonde hair results in a dullness that makes the complexion look lifeless. I've also tried those gold and red shampoos that are supposed to add a little color but they never worked and seemed harder on my fine hair. I saw no difference between your two sides - a good thing IMHO.

[@bperez8656]

Jax T Gets a bad rep my ass. It’s about your skin tone. If you have cool toned, white or pink tones, brassy hair does not look good at all unless you got a summer tan going on... Brassy and warm hair is good for people with warm skin or people who tan well.

[@chee8572]

@@bperez8656 jeez why so aggressive though its just hair and yes it does I see millions of videos about toning orange out but nothing else its so redundant. Literally impossible to find videos on toning red, orange, etc. Just yellow.

[@chee8572]

also want to mention a lot of people want to get rid of their warm tones when it suits them better, hence it having a bad rep. She looks way younger before she puts on the toner. Purple shampoo has been over hyped for some reason. No shade on her though she's just trying it out. Sometimes you don't know until you see it on yourself. Just sucks to see people waste their money.

[@FrostedUndead]

I've gone through so many damn videos today!! And the stylist just talks and talks and talks. Never shows what to do!! Thank you so much!!!

[@sapphiretemple8803]

That’s such a big difference it makes your hair colour even more beautiful 💜

[@ahojtadyadela3683]

It's literally the same

[@annakozlowski2261]

You do it on wet hair - squeeze the water out and apply shampoo lather and let it penetrate. You must do it on wet hair because water opens hair cuticles and allows for the purple to enter inside the hair shaft and tone the brassy colors. If you apply on dry hair , hair cuticles are closed therefore shampoo can’t enter inside and that’s why you see no results. Good luck next time. I hope this helps ;)

[@cariwalker7549]

Yes! I was hoping that there was a good reason it didn’t work! Now I hope it will work when I try to do it. Lol

[@sarraraissane5768]

Before applying it the hair should be clean I mean already washed or I can apply on a dirty hair ??

[@rosiep1556]

I got a better result on dry hair

[@annakozlowski2261]

@@cariwalker7549 yes you should wash your hair to remove any product buildup therefore ensure even penetration of the purple to remove those pesky orange tones from your hair. Make sure to squeeze out the excess water from your hair and apply the shampoo. Let it sit in your hair - the longer you let it stay in your hair the better the result.

I see a difference, a quite obvious one too. And I'm wondering if it is even more noticeable outside in natural lights? I think after several times of using the blue shampoo, it will get lighter and lighter. Or less and less brassy. I love how cool you are doing this in a white shirt/jacket in the living room!

[@officerfarva3666]

I’ve found it doesn’t always show up so well on camera, but in real time it’s much brighter, inside and outside too. You’re right.

[@kristinatci7]

Yes I can definitely see the difference. The purple shampoo worked. It would have worked better on wet hair bc water helps hair become more penetrable.

Yeah! Some people like me loves golden blonde and actually preferred it too! 💛

[@melodyvalentine8779]

@@Hayata_dair_hersey95 I'm in the process of going blonde and I've had two sessions so far. It was black to start with and after the first sitting it was a very light brown but because it'd been stripped with bleach and had only lifted to an orange colour you could still see a lot of warmth coming through the neutral brown she used. It looked lovely, I really liked it. It's the base colour for the highlights I've got in now, well a full head of foils so it's pretty much all of my hair with bits of the base colour showing. Now it's still got quite a lot of yellow in it but it was only done yesterday and she's told me to start using purple shampoo and I'm back in six weeks for a full head of foils again and she thinks I'll get the colour I want then. They can't believe, and neither can I, how much it's lifted in two sittings from jet black box dyed hair. I'm gonna put purple shampoo on mine tomorrow, on dry hair and leave it for 5 mins to see if it takes out the yellow that's in.

[@officerfarva3666]

When I went from dark brown to platinum blond, there was a period that I had this unexpected, really beautiful strawberry blonde and I actually got attached to it and kept it longer. Who knew lol

I'm the same level 8 blonde as you are and purple shampoo tones my hair really well..I just have to leave it on at least 30 min to an hour. Since our hair isn't a lighter blonde, the directions for 5 min won't work on us. I'd rather take the time once a week to use the purple shampoo instead of a chemical toner. It leaves a really pretty neutral almost ash blonde.
