Fudge Clean Blonde Violet Toning Shampoo Review

I don't know how to rate this if I'm being completely honest. I'm going to write my experience with this, so you can judge for yourself. I give it 4/5 because I truly believe it's a great product and it works well, but with precautions. I will also admit that the result of my hair with this shampoo is mostly my fault.

I have bleached my hair 8 times now, and I'm currently sitting at shade 11 on the blonde chart, so it's very light, very platinum blonde. My current toning shampoo is finished and hearing the raves of this I purchased it.

I was so excited to use it. It smells wonderful, and has a lovely vibrant violet shade to it.

As soon as I put it on my hair, my head turned this wonderful shade of lavender. The instructions say to leave it on for up to 5 minutes, and stupidly I left it on for the whole 5 minutes.

Couple mistakes and precautions. Probably do not need to be toning hair with such an intense, strong toning shampoo at the shade I am. Probably shouldn't have left shampoo on for that long at the shade I am.

To my horror, the shampoo had stained my hair a very pale shade of lavender which almost looks blue/green/grey. Not happy with this at all, as I had only just finally brought my hair to the shade I wanted it to be.

All the yellow blonde tones in my platinum hair is completely white, and the rest of my hair stained grey. I did some research and the purple tone is removed if you wash your hair several times (Did mine 5 times) however that vibrancy of blonde colour that was on my hair is gone leaving it grey/white, and my hair is completely stripped from using cheap shampoo to wash out the grey to avoid looking like my grandma. So yea, this shampoo really does remove brassy tones.

If I had more yellow-blonde hair rather than platinum, I would love this product, I can see that it cancels out brassy tones REALLY well. So it is definitely amazing. But for the state it left my hair, I'm really upset about. I will not be using this shampoo again - however if I were a yellow - blonde this would be the only thing I would use.

This product is amazing! It gets rid of any gold/yellowy tones really quickly. Have used this for like 3 years eversince bein blonde and it works a treat.

This stuff is amazing. Great price, gets rid of all yellow tones. This is one of the strongest I have tried and leaves my hair feeling soft.

I have tried many purple shampoos ands would rate this as the best! You can leave it in overnight for a real ash effect, or simply use as directed to keep gold tones out of your blonde hair

One day at work we had a quiet day and had a bright idea to turn my hair from dark brown (natural) to white bleach blond. So as you can in again my hair was quite damaged. I liked how it comes out of the tube very easily and you only need a very tiny amount. This product was amazing for maintaining my amazing white colour that I loved and also left my hair feeling really soft (considering what it had just been though) , it's definatly a must have when wanting to maintain blond hair

Over the years I have had my hair lightened to all sorts of shades of blonde and unfortunately, only recently discovered the wonders of Fudge Blonde Violet.

For some reason my hair is really prone to turn brass - think beautiful blonde turning all shades of copper, brass, orange and yellow - NOT the look I was going for! After the last lot of lightening, my new hair dresser introduced me to this beauty and I have never looked back.

The product works exactly like any other shampoo, but is bright bright purple. You have to be careful applying it - if you leave it in your hands too long, you get smurf hands (stained purple). I find applying it to my hair really quickly, and then washing my hands straight away stops any staining.

It lathers up beautifully, and depending on the brassiness of your hair, you can leave the product in for up to 5 minutes. Simply rinse and condition as normal, and you are left with beautiful, clean toned blonde.

This product is amazing! It's by far the strongest toning purple shampoo I have every tried, it smells amazing and for $20 that 300ml of shampoo will last you at least 4-5 months if your using it twice a week. I purchased the 1L bottle and it lasted me over a year, at $60 I think it's a steal. There are a couple of things I love about it they are: - You don't need to leave it on very long or use much at all if you are already quite blonde as it will work really quickly on areas that don't have brassy/yellow bits, so focus more on your roots or problem areas. - After I have had my hair died I always follow up with this the next time I have had it died and focus it on my roots as I find they always go brassy no matter what. My hairdresser is amazing my roots just don't take to bleach the greatest. - This toner gives you the nicest silver colouring if you use it continuously, I love that look on platinum hair

The one thing I dislike is that it does dry out your hair so like I said in the tips section use a mask and or treatment daily or after use.

If you are a blonde that likes to have no brass/golden tones to your hair then you need to try this!

I have used quite a few different brands of purple shampoo, and as a hairdresser myself, find this to be the best one by far.

Sometimes, it can even be used on freshly bleached hair as a toner rather than applying another colour.

If it is used too much or left on a few minutes too long it can leave a bit of a purple hue behind which can easily be corrected by washing hair with a normal shampoo, but that aside, it definitely does its job well and at a reasonable price!

I am in love with fudge clean blonde violet toning shampoo! I bleached my hair with supermarket dyes from black to blonde, my hair was yellow! I used this product and instantly the yellow and goldy tones were gone. It also hydrated my hair back to life after all the harsh bleaching!

This product definitely gave me the toning shampoo that I would expect, however the smell is awful. I would use the product for the sheer fact that it does what I need, however I have found other purple shampoos that I prefer.
