What is purple shampoo and how does it work?
A purple shampoo bar works by neutralising and toning down unwanted yellow or brassy tones in blonde, silver, grey, or light-coloured hair. It contains purple pigments that act as colour correctors to counterbalance the warm undertones that can develop in light hair over time due to factors such as exposure to sunlight, mineral buildup, or hair dye fading.

When applied to wet hair, the purple pigments in the shampoo bar adhere to strands of hair, helping to eliminate yellowish or brassy hues by depositing a subtle violet tint. This tint helps restore a cooler shade.
How do I best use this purple shampoo bar?
- 1. Begin with wet hair.
- 2. Gently rub the bar between your hands or directly onto your scalp to create a soft lather.
- 3. Leave the shampoo on for at least 5 minutes for effective toning.
- 4. Rinse thoroughly, ensuring all shampoo is washed out.
- 5. Use conditioner as needed, especially on the ends of your hair.
- 6. Let the shampoo bar dry completely between uses and store on a soap dish to prevent staining surfaces.
