Purple Shampoo Showdown ~ Which One Works the BEST?

[@adrianasalerno5228]

The best shampoo I have found so far is Oribe Bright Blonde. I have dark brown hair that I color very blonde, but it can get brassy. The Oribe gives me a pearly blonde. I can use it everyday without getting that grayish/blue that you get with other purple shampoos. It’s expensive, but for me well worth it if you have reddish tones in your colored hair.

Thanks for the recommendation!🤗

Hey Sharalee! I have said it before and I will say it again... your stylist is fantastic to be able to see the difference right away. That's a good stylist. Your hair always looks gorgeous so you must be doing something right! Great review!! ❤

I read in a book all about hair that grey hair (and normal hair) needs to be washed with a clarifying shampoo once a week. Grey hair absorbs the minerals and chemicals in water. A clarifying shampoo will help wash the residue away. I’ve used the purple toner after highlighting and it does give a beautiful glow.

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

That totally makes sense! Great tip🤗

Fun video. Great info for us silver-haired ladies. I have used just about everything! Schwarzkopf Igora Silver Absolutes whitening spray is wonderful. Not a shampoo but a treatment. I add it to my regular conditioner and leave on about 10 minutes. It removes all yellow oxidation from the elements and flat irons.

Don't know how well you can see the profile picture, but that is my shorter style. I actually got trimmed a bit shorter today, but haven't taken any pics yet.

I stopped using purple shampoos because they made my natural grey have a bluish/purple tint even though I rinsed my hair extremely well. Upon a trip to Sally’s and speaking with one of their helpful staff members, I purchased BANTU, made by Softsheen-Carson. This is a Yellow-out conditioner, white in color, that brightens grey hair and removes yellowing. I use it after my regular shampoo and leave it on until the end of my shower before rinsing it out. My grey hair is bright and shiny!

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

[@derondadozier1938]

I think any brand will work what makes any of them work best is to put it on your hair dry what I do is apply to my hair when I'm fixing to shower leave it on for 10 to 15 mins. While I'm getting my towel an clothes up then I jump in shower an done ...this works best for me

Hi! I know this is an old video but I was wondering if you could tell me me, do you use your purple shampoo every day? (If you’re an every day washer) I’m going to start using a purple shampoo but I really don’t know much about them. How often to use? Can I use a regular conditioner after a purple shampoo or do I use a purple conditioner as well? I’m not fully blonde just getting some highlights in my medium brown hair to camouflage my grays. I’m not worried about using a purple shampoo on my darker hair because we have very hard water so I know it will help that section of hair as well. Thank you

[@janicemillican9754]

I'm a licensed cosmetologist in Ga since 83 & I was watching another utube channel dealing mostly beauty type things and she recommended Shimmer lights shampoo and for people with more of a yellow tone they could use it on dry hair for several minutes then shampoo it out... I wished this person could have seen & heard 👂 my reactions I know the neighbors must have heard me I was screaming No Don't pls people thats just wrong at the same time I was replying on her comment section DON'T DO IT and gave them many reasons why thats incorrect .I'm almost positive I'm now blocked from that channel but I wouldn't know since I stopped following . Tks for sharing positive information and taking the time to show there is proof in the pudding 😉

[@leeanncleveland3375]

Do you have any thoughts on blue shampoo products? In my younger years my “warm” light brown hair would tend to get golden/brassy with highlights. Now in my late 50’s, it tends to lean toward looking more red with color and highlights. 🤔 (Not exactly the look I’m going for!) Purple Joico helped some but my stylist recommended switching to blue Joico and limiting to one use per week. That helps cool the highlights a little better but with my base color, I’m still not getting quite the results I was hoping for. Hair can definitely be a challenge!

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

Yes!! Blue products are aimed at reducing "orange" tones and purple products help more with the "yellow" tones. Sometimes, a mixture of both might be needed. As for your base color, be sure your stylist is using "ashy" colors rather than "warm/golden" colors. I know there is a fine balance they are trying to achieve...if they go too ashy, it can almost look green and we don't want that!😂😘

[@leeanncleveland3375]

@@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates No, indeed I do not need green with all of this other stuff I have going on! 🙄 But I think we may have come up with a solution. This last time, we didn’t do a base color at all and I had her cut as much old color out as she could without scalping me! But I can already tell that the only thing that’s leaning toward red is what’s leftover of the old base color. Highlights over my natural base look much better. Obviously more gray is showing but we’re just blending that in to my cooler highlights and voila! 😎
