    I love love love this shampoo! It smells so good, doesn’t dry out my hair and I’ve noticed it very subtly toning brassyness. The only negative is that it stains my fingertips. To the point where a Dr was looking at my fingertips at an appt & thought I had bad blood flow because of purple lightly tinted fingertips. So just a fair warning. Would buy again though.

    El mejor matizante con el mejor cuidado

    Soy una rubia natural que luego de ser pelirroja volví al rubio con mechas así q he me decoloraron. La textura de mi cabello se arruinó y lo peor es que el color se tornó muy naranja. use varios matizantes y la textura solo empeoraba y el resultado de color duraba solo par de lavadas. Compré este shampoo y acondicionar y tenía años que mi cabello no estaba tan suave y lindo. El color ha sido hermoso, volví a mi rubio cenizo en solo 2 lavadas y el cabello luce hidratado y sano. Ha sido la mejor compra en artículos de cuidado del cabello tanto así que al otro día compré el de cerámidas para mantener cuidada mi hebra de cabello

    I used this product 2 times 2 days in a row. I followed the instructions and did not exceed more than 2 minutes on my hair. I was left with a horrible reaction which included scalp irritation, swelling and pain. I threw it out and will NEVER use it again. Buyer BEWARE!

    LOVE THIS STUFF! My hair had become super brassy after an at home highlight job (I know I know…) I thought I would give this a try at an attempt to combat the brass and I am so happy I did! I let it sit on my dry hair for about 15 minutes and rinsed. The brassiness was eliminated by at least 80%! I am hopeful that within a few more washes the brassiness will be fully removed! For a relatively inexpensive product this is above and beyond!!

    This shampoo made a difference on my daughters natural blonde hair after one use! Her fine hair has been getting brassy looking and weighed down- I think due to our hard water. I used a clarifying shampoo first (Odele) and then this purple shampoo, leaving it on for about 4 minutes. I blow dried it with B&B thickening spray. You can tell in the before/after that her hair is a lot less brassy after just the one use. It seems like it will work well for her!

    Hydrating purple shampoo! I have used high end purple shampoos and I prefer this one over others. Smells really good too. If you leave it in too long it will leave a purple tint, really only need like 2-3 minutes and it makes my hair look like I came back from the salon. Love!!

    This was the first shampoo i ever bought when i dyed my hair grey. Its been 2 years and i still love it! It smells great and keep my hair looking good. Although one thing i will say is it can add a purple tone to your hair if you use it a lot like me but i dont mind it. If you dont want that hint of purple I recommend to use the shampoo every other day!

    This purple shampoo is amazing!! I have dark brown hair and got a balayage but a lot of it came out orange and brassy and this literally took out all of the brass and left me with beautiful balayage. It also made my hair super soft which a lot of purple shampoos don’t do.
