Keep blonde hair at its brightest & best
Deciding to dye your hair blonde can be a big decision. Even as a natural blonde you might find the maintenance of blonde hair to be pricey, time consuming and hard to keep on top of. Achieving a blonde tone which is icier as opposed to brassy can seem like an impossible battle, but there are haircare heroes such as purple or silver shampoo to help you win the war.
Why choose purple shampoo?
The first step is to invest in a purple shampoo for blonde and silver hair, but first let’s understand the basics, what is purple shampoo? And what does purple shampoo do?
Purple shampoos work by neutralising vibrant yellow hues in blonde hair. Purple is the opposite shade to yellow on the colour spectrum, so it’s perfect for diminishing brassy tones. Many people use a purple shampoo for blonde hair because the dark purple pigment weaves into the hair to bring out the bluer undertones which creates that striking ashy and on trend shade.
You may have heard that silver shampoo is good for bringing out the best in your blonde locks. So what’s the difference between purple shampoo and silver shampoo, and which one’s right for you? Well, the straightforward answer is they’re both the same. Silver shampoos also contain purple pigment and are designed to bring out the best in blonde, grey or silver hair, just like purple shampoos. The only difference is in the name, so whether you pick up a purple or silver shampoo, the end result should be the same.
