First impressions of this shampoo were that the colour was a deep, vibrant violet and the fragrance was appealing. Two ticks so far!
I have thick, long hair with a half head of lightened foils that I've had done for years now. My blonde is quite warm and I aim more for a blended, creamy colour than I do for an ashy blonde- my main goal is to avoid the yellow tones! Needless to say, I've tried a few purple shampoos!
In the shower, I used a fair amount of product to get a good lather all through my hair; I always double shampoo so I probably used around 2-3 tablespoons all up to get the squeaky-clean feeling that I like. While it might seem like a lot, I only wash my hair once a week so I can see the bottle lasting awhile.
Since I was following with a purple conditioner, I only left the shampoo on for 1-2 minutes as I lathered thoroughly. If I'm using a standard conditioner, I usually leave a purple shampoo on a little longer, especially on the ends, to really brighten up the colour.
Once I rinsed, my hair felt clean and smelled delicious. Too early to tell what effect the purple had on my colour but it didn't feel really harsh and stripped like some others I've tried before.
My overall experience with the shampoo was pretty positive. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did- just because I've tried non-salon shampoos in the past and have never really been impressed. I would definitely purchase this product again.
I’ve always used expensive salon purple shampoo so trying this purple shampoo I didn’t know exactly what to expect. Will I regret this? Was the first thought I had. I took the chance and I am definitely impressed with the results. The purple shampoo is a very vivid purple colour and the purple mildly stained my hands. After washing my hands, the stained had disappeared apart from a slight stain remaining around my nails. My hair colour is a blonde ash with grey undertones. After a month or so, the colour has started to fade. My hair had become more dull and all my usual hair products and treatments weren’t working. I thought the only way to get the colour back was another visit to the hair dresser. However after the first use of the shampoo, my hair is more vibrant and the blonde looks amazing. My hair colour has been restored and my hair is so silky soft. I love that this shampoo is suitable for highlighted brunette coloured hair, making it not just for blondes. I also love that this shampoo is affordable and I will definitely be repurchasing this!
