Purple hair shampoo

[MummaPI]

Does purple hair shampoo turn your hair purple? I'm blonde and want to try it but a bit scared!!

Depends how long you leave it on for

If you get a dark purple shampoo and leave it on a few minutes it can (esp. if your hair is bleached). But unlikely if you shampoo and rinse straight away.

Depends which one. There's a schwarzkopf one in a blue tube which has a cumulative effect, I have a purple fringe, where it's only taken on the grey. Took about 5 days of use to become obvious.

I dont want purple hair though, I've heard its good for blonde hair

Depends on how blonde ur hair is and the purple shampoo, tell us what purple shampoo it is and a pic of ur hair would help.

I have bleached blonde hair and use A Touch of Silver purple shampoo once a week to keep the colour from going brassy. I leave it on for 3 minutes and rinse. Not even a hint of purple here!

I have bleached blonde hair. I use the L'Oreal purple shampoo and conditioner. I left the shampoo on once for a few minutes and noticed I had pale purple streaks in parts the next day! Just make sure you rinse straight away and you will be fine. Alternatively, I find Johnny Frieda Go Blonder is amazing. Can definitely tell the difference when I have used it 😊

*John not Johnny 😂

I use purple shampoo once a week to clean hair. Use wella from the hairdressers- doesn't turn hair purple, just use as you would normally.

Fb no hv by b

I have always use the touch of silver purple shampoo about once a week, I leave it on for upto 10 minutes, my hair is coloured blonde and has never turned purple. Leaves it a lovely white /platinum colour

I can leave it on for a hour or so without ending up looking like an evil minion.

Ok I've ordered the bleach london shampoo and conditioner. Do I have to do a skin and strand test for these?

I’ve never heard of doing a skin test for a shampoo. Just wash and rinse. And if your hair does go a little bit purple, just wash it again in regular shampoo - really not a big deal. Also, I presume you are trying to knock out yellowness? If you’re not, and you’re fine with the existing colour, I don’t know why you’re bothering if it’s so nerve wracking.

I have a purple shampoo that tells you to do a skin test. Think its salon strength. I also have bog standard ones from the supermarket

If your hair is damaged it may stain purple (temporarily)

I use the bleach london product and I can leave the shampoo o my hair neat for over an hour with no purple colour residue on my hair.

I use Schwarzkopf on my bleached brown hair to take out the brassiness and give it ashy tones. Works a treat. I'd say try it. Just do a bit underneath to start of with and see what happens.

Thanks all, very helpful.

crypticqueen not nerve wrecking, just have questions (you sound fun)

If you have golden blonde/brassy hair (or lots of natural red) purple shampoo balances this out making the blonde more ashy. I absolutely swear by it, it revives your blonde hair.

Kind of rude OP. I bothered to post twice on your thread and pass on my experience ... But as it happens I am fun, so I’ll take it in the spirit it was not intended.
