Purple Conditioner for Blonde, Platinum & Gray/Silver Hair. Reduce Brassy Yellow Tones. Toner for Bleached & Highlighted Hair - Moisturises - Cruelty Free, No Parabens or Sulfates - 237 ml

Ok so, the preface: Writing this review after 2 uses. I read dozens of reviews before buying this product. The cons I read were either 1) it didn't work or 2) it was extremely drying. I have to wonder if for 1) did you follow the directions properly and/or how light was your blonde hair to begin with? and for 2) again, did you follow the directions and what kind of hair type did you have to begin with: Is it really fine hair? Was it already damaged? How often do you wash your hair? Is it daily?So a little about me... I'm not a hair stylist but have enough family members who are to know how to be hair literate lol. I recently highlighted my hair with a cap and Wella bleach with 20 developer. Done this plenty of times in the past with great success but didn't leave the bleach in long enough so my hair had more brass than I normally like even with using a Wella toner (light ash blonde) immediately after. My hair type is medium-fine but lots of it, naturally frizzy with some wave, and is not damaged. After styling (I always use a leave-in styling conditioner prior to applying heat) my hair looks lovely. I also wash my hair every 2-3 days. With that said... here's what I've done thus far with this product.1ST USE: left on for 3 minutes per the instructions on the bottle. Since many of the reviews commented on drying, I immediately followed it up with a 15 minute Olaplex treatment (#3 bottle). I HIGHLY recommend investing in Olaplex for restoring health back into processed hair. It's excellent. Anyway, after first use the shampoo definitely toned down the yellow/brass from my hair but not substantially. It was MINIMAL. Even I couldn't notice it at first but after styling I could definitely see a difference that left me eager and looking forward to trying it a 2nd time but leaving it on for a longer duration. Side note: I would also recommend giving your hair a few days break before using this shampoo again just to be safe. While it did not dry out my hair at all, I also hadn't washed my hair for 3 days which left some natural oils on my hair to help protect it from whatever processing it was going to endure from the shampoo.2ND USE: My 2nd time using this shampoo was 6 days after the 1st use. It had been 2 days since I washed my hair as well. I left it on for 6 minutes this time and definitely saw a much more substantial change in my hair this go around. It toned down the brass really nicely. Some areas more than others but no worries as I like dimension. Once again, I followed up the shampoo with a 15 minute #3 Olaplex treatment. Styled my hair as usual after and still really couldn't notice any drying/damage. Perhaps because I restored health back into my hair after utilizing Olaplex? Dunno, but I'd rather be safe than sorry and will continue to follow this pattern regardless :)I plan on using this a 3rd time in about a week or 2 as I'm already very happy with the color of my hair. I will probably leave it on another 6 minutes the 3rd time just to keep the color as is. It's really important to keep in mind that this shampoo is not a LIGHTENER. Perhaps many of the individuals leaving negative reviews have different expectations than what TONING is about. A toner is not a bleach. It's a way of neutralizing a color from the opposite end of the color spectrum. Only bleach will lift color. COLOR WILL ONLY DEPOSIT COLOR. Thus, that's why depending on how lifted your hair is to begin with some people will walk away with a purple tint on their hair because the purple shampoo color deposited into the follicle. Boom, science.With all of this said here are my recommendations for using this product!1) Use it after not washing your hair for 2-3 days to allow some natural oils to become a healthy barrier from whatever processing this shampoo will do to your follicle2) Immediately follow it up with a leave in conditioner that works well with your hair type. I recommend Olaplex.3) DON'T use this daily. This is definitely not a daily-use shampoo. It's meant to be used sporadically so anyone complaining about the price tag for such a small bottle is not thinking of the full picture here.4) Follow the directions the first time around and don't leave it on for longer than 3 minutes. Slightly bump up the duration every time thereafter at your discretion or until you find a duration that works well for you.Wish I had taken before and after pics but you're going to have to trust me on the above and give it a shot yourself!!

There were pro's and cons to all of the products in this combo pack, but overall I have to say that I love this shampoo and conditioner. The shampoo was unfortunately the most drying of any purple shampoo I've ever used (and I've used many), but in contrast, the conditioner was by far the most hydrating, so they definitely balanced each other out. After using the shampoo (which I actually applied to dry hair for more color depositing), and then followed by using the conditioner in the shower, my hair was soft, smelled great, and the tone was absolutely brilliant. Currently I'm embracing my gray, so my natural hair is growing in silver and the ends are still yellow/blonde. This turned all of my hair a silver color and reduced the transition line, and really brightened it up. I'm so impressed that I'll probably tell my colorist about this line, as she is always keen to learn about new purple shampoo products that she can tell others about and use herself.As far as the purple hair mask goes, I am really disappointed. I tried this about a week after using and loving the shampoo/conditioning combo, thinking that it would give it an extra boost of toning. It softened my hair ok, but the color was terrible, nothing like the other products. It definitely has more blue color in it, which can be seen before even applying the hair mask. After leaving it in for a few minutes and rinsing, I found that it had completely darkened my hair. Even my natural silver was muted and dull, all of the silvery brightness was gone. It made my hair not only look like dirty dishwater, but about 3 shades darker than before. I will never use the hair mask again, and I'm extremely disappointed in this particular product, especially after how well the original shampoo/conditioner worked and how much I loved it. Every product works differently on different hair types, but unfortunately I cannot recommend the conditioning hair mask due to the fact that the toning properties were drastically different than the other products, and made my hair look really dull and lifeless. This is really unfortunate, because all of these products should work together seamlessly, but they do not.However... as I said...the shampoo/conditioner combo is wonderful, and I will be telling everyone about it who is looking to transition to their natural grey or just trying to make their light blonde hair more pale/to remove the yellow tones. It brightens perfectly, and really creates/accentuates the silver highlights. These products are a bit pricy, but I honestly believe that they are well worth the cost because I know that I will not have to use them as often as other products I've tried. Other than the purple conditioning mask, I'm very very happy with this purchase.

I went from blonde in november to red in december to brown and wanted to go back blonde for the summer. As everyone knows its near impossible to do without going orange or brassy. This shampoo works like magic. It not only took the ugly orange brass from my hair but also left it feeling healthy and undamafes likemist most shampoos. I recommend biying the conditioner to go with it. Also only try 3-5 min when you let it sit in your hair it is powerful. So it you dont want a purple tint ne careful. Like most color shampoos this will also leave some color in you shower so be prepared to clean. Only need to use once or twice a week depending on if you have hard water.

The media could not be loaded. Got this set hesitating if it will work or no. I started using it right after getting my hair colored blonde. Let me tell you! This shampoo and conditioner works like a charm. The shampoo is super powerful! Be careful keeping it for too long on the hair. IT WILL COLOR THE HAIR in purple shade. It happened to me once. I actually liked it somewhat, but still. Something to keep in mind. Also, it washed away in few days. The conditioner is somewhat helpful. I didn’t really see a difference using it or no. The only one minute of this set is if you don’t wash it off your bath tub right away - you will have purple stains all over. And right after use - the hands will also stay purple for the rest of the day. I do think the set dried my hair a little bit. So, I usually use another good quality conditioner afterwards.
