Purple shampoo, sometimes referred to as purple toning shampoo, is shampoo that is dark purple in color. It keeps colored or bleached hair from going brassy and too warm, maintaining the cooler tones that your hair had when you just stepped out of the salon. When most people think of purple shampoo, they think it is only for blondes. However, it can help to keep brassy tones out of all different shades of colored hair. Salons offer toning treatments for this purpose but they are much more expensive than doing it yourself at home with a bottle of shampoo.

Yes! It works by cancelling out the red and yellow tones in your hair that give it that brassy look. This works because purple is on the opposite side of the spectrum from yellow. Washing your hair with purple shampoo deposits a little bit of purple onto the hair shaft, leaving your hair looking closer to the color it was when you first had it colored.

Just use your favorite purple shampoo once or twice a week instead of your normal shampoo.

So what’s the best purple shampoo? There are quite a few options and everyone has their favorite. Which one you choose depends on your budget, whether or not you want a more natural option, what kind of hair you have, and what kind of results you’re looking for. Below I’ve outlined a bunch of different options and brands, some you may be familiar with and some that may not be well-known brands but might have a great product all the same.

Personally, I opt for natural and sulfate free shampoos and conditioners whenever possible. That’s why I choose sulfrate-free purple shampoo, too.

PRAVANA The Perfect Blonde Purple Toning Sulfate-Free Shampoo is one of the most popular sulfate-free choices. It has an ultra-violet dye system that gets rid of brassiness and yellow tones. It smells really good and isn’t drying like some other purple shampoos can be.

Is your blonde hair getting brassy or yellow? Purple shampoo is an affordable option that you can use at home to correct this brassiness and restore your color to the way it looked when you just stepped out of the salon. It can also be used on grey hair as well as all other shades that tend to get too warm or brassy.
