I have naturally dark hair with quite a lot of blonde highlights/colour through it. My roots are horrendous but I can't afford to get it done again any time soon. The blonde has also gone very orange and brassy in colour. My hairdresser mentioned something about a purple toner or shampoo that could help counter this? Which one should I use? Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm going out at the weekend and just need something to pick me up a bit.

Personally I don’t use it, but a lot of hairdressers swear by one by finola. When I was blonde I used one by L’Oréal and it was great too

Is that a shampoo or a toner? Sorry I'm very clueless. And how long do you need to use it for before it makes a difference?

Finola or Morrocannoil Blonde Perfecting Purple Shampoo are the best.

Make sure you deep condition after as purple shampoo makes your hair dry.

I swear by Shrine drop it toner - simply add a couple of drops to your usual conditioner. There are loads of different shades too. I have dark blonde hair with an ombré and it keeps the yellow tones away completely. Also found it doesn’t dry my hair out either

It’s a shampoo, you should notice a difference immediately. Use it until you get your desired result, then only use it every few washes. I think it works by depositing pigment to neutralise the brass.
