The best purple shampoos for blonde hair.

Do blondes really have more fun?

Maintaining this ashe-y blonde hue is an absolutely commitment. If you’re going to pursue this shade of blonde, you have to know what you’re signing up for. It’s been several years and lotsa dollars for me but I absolutely love it. It’s also the #1 question I get on social media and in personal life, “Who does your hair?” “How do they do it?” and “Are you really that blonde?” These are layered questions because I trust my hair to an amazing professional every 4-6 weeks AND I take very good care of it which means washing it less, only using hot tools when necessary and using the best purple shampoos on the market. The key to ash blonde is your shampoo!

It should also be noted that I am a dirty blonde so this shade on the color wheel is easier for me to maintain.

Purple shampoos are designed to neutralize your hair. It pulls out the golden, brassy tones. Purple tones cancel out yellow tones and they overall brighten blonde hair. Purple shampoos will not change your hair color completely but if you adore that silver color range…this is for you. A word of caution, the longer you leave silver and purple shampoos on, the more likely they are to stain. Your hair can quite literally turn purple. I speak from experience but the great news is it always washes out so don’t fret!

Today I’m sharing the best brass busting shampoos that I’ve tried and tested. They are many suitors on the market but these are my absolute favorite. Some overly dry out your hair while others were underwhelming in delivering results. Blonde hair is an expensive hobby but if you take proper care, it’s not impossible to care for without damaging your precious locks.

Above all else, get regular cuts and let your hair air dry as much as possible. Take it from someone who has been coloring their hair 20+ years. Cheers!
