Let’s clear this up 👇


The truth is:Purple shampoo does not:


🚫 Lighten your hair

🚫 Brighten your highlights

🚫 Make you “more blonde”


It only deposits violet pigments to cancel out yellow tones. That’s it.


💛 Why does blonde hair turn yellow?


When we lighten hair, it naturally reveals warm undertones:

➡️ Yellow

➡️ Orange

➡️ Even red (depending on your natural color)


That yellow you see?💯 Totally normal.

But after a few weeks, those tones can turn brassy if not balanced.


🎨 That’s where purple shampoo helps: Purple sits opposite yellow on the color wheel, so it helps neutralize brass and cool things down.

But here’s the key 👇❗ Neutralizing yellow doesn’t make your hair lighter — it just tones it down.


🤯 Here’s what most people don’t know:


Warm tones (like gold or honey):🌟 Reflect more light = Look brighter & lighter

Cool tones (like ash or pearl):🌫 Absorb more light = Can look dustier or darker


So if your blonde has ever looked “dull” after using too much purple shampoo or a strong ashy toner...👉 You’re not imagining it.

It’s not just how light your hair is —It’s how the tone plays with light.


💜 So if you’re using purple shampoo to “feel more blonde”…You might make it cooler, softer, or cleaner —But not actually lighter.



It’s a color filter, not a lightener.


⚠️ Overusing purple shampoo can lead to:


❌ Dull, muddy color

❌ Uneven tones

❌ Dryness from buildup

❌ A darker overall look


💡 Want to actually look blonder?


Here’s what to do instead:

✔️ Lighten your hair further (in-salon)

✔️ Get regular glosses with the right tone

✔️ Clarify every 2 weeks to remove buildup

✔️ Hydrate + protect to keep it shiny & reflective


💬 Bottom line:Purple shampoo is a great maintenance product…But not a magic fix 💫
