It's been a busy but fun time for me and my family, with swimming, movie nights, and even grilling out with s'mores. We're trying to make the most of the summertime activities while we can.
Today, I wanted to talk to you all about the importance of purple shampoo, especially for those with bright blondes who want to maintain their color and avoid brassiness.
There are a few factors that can contribute to brassiness, such as
Using hard water. Hard water will cause brassiness faster than almost anything.
High heat tools. I would not do anything more than 350 degrees tops; the lower, the better. Most of the time when you're in the salon at least in my chair, I'm curling you at like 280.
Environmental factors. What is your atmosphere like where you live? Do you live more in the city? Do you live in the country? The sun will lighten your hair, but it can also cause some discoloration.
Lack of proper hair care. If you're not using a good clarifying shampoo from time to time, deep conditioning your hair on a regular basis, then that can cause your toner to fade faster.
Should you just use purple shampoo?
The answer to that is a little bit complicated. Purple shampoo is great. It is a semi-permanent, meaning it just sits on the outside of the hair, toner.
Using purple shampoo can help cancel out yellow or brassy tones in your hair, but it's important not to overuse it. I recommend using it only once or twice a month and incorporating other products like clarifying shampoo, deep conditioner, and heat protection to maintain healthy and vibrant hair.
Keeping your purple shampoo use to a minimum can help prevent damage and maintain the longevity of your color over all.
I personally recommend the Amika Bust Your Brass Purple Shampoo for its great tone, effectiveness, and pleasant scent. Additionally, L'anza also offers a good quality purple shampoo with clean ingredients.
Remember to also consider using a water filter, mineral sunscreens, and quality hair products to keep your blonde looking its best. By incorporating these tips and using purple shampoo wisely, you can extend the life of your color and keep your blonde looking fresh for longer periods between color treatments.
I hope this information helps with your purple shampoo questions.
