Purple Shampoo Recommendations

[Lavendersquare]

I use purple shampoo on my hair and whilst I love the fact that it stops my blonde highlights turning brassy I find that it dries my scalp.

I've tried several and am currently using Aussie which unfortunately is still giving me a dry scalp.

Any recommendations for a purple shampoo that's non drying?

How often are you using it?

@Pinkspecs about twice a week.

I use Provoke Touch of Silver but only once a week (as instructed on the bottle!) and I love it!

No idea how good but i've just been told Olaplex have brought out a purple shampoo.
I use Wella blonde recharge which i'm happy with

I used to do it twice a week and I think they would all dry your scalp out if you are doing it that often where they are quite drying.
I wouldn't do it as often.
I haven't tried the Aussie one but I use the OSMO one every couple of weeks.
Also I use olaplex and some moisturising ones.
The Redken range is also good in between.
You will dry your hair and your scalp out if you do it too often, you will also probably get a bit of a purple build up and it won't be as effective.

@Pinkspecs I've been looking at the Opalex one, is it good?

I don't realise you were only meant to use it once a week.

I really love Lee Stafford Bleach Blondes purple shampoo - doesn't stain my hands, leaves a nice tone and nearly always on three for two at Boots!
I use the Bleach Blondes Ice White conditioner with it as I love the smell.
My hair is grey naturally, so I've tried loads of shampoos to keep the yellow tones out and always go back to the Lee Stafford stuff. Touch of silver is too staining and drying for me.

Fudge clean blonde best ever and ive tried then all from provoke,lee stafford, aussie, clynol and loreal ( salon) and fudge is great.

Phil Smith be gorgeous is nice, smells good and I don’t find it too drying

I use the John Frieda Violet Crush Intensive, it smells nice and works well for me

I use Fanola no yellow. It's so strong that I only need to use it once a fortnight so it's less drying.

Provoke Touch of Silver Hydrating Purple Toning Hair Mask is fantastic! Really combats the drying out that most purple shampoos cause. (Amazon £3.99 for 300ml)

Kevin Murphy Blonde Angel Wash is great and not drying at all

I find Provoke awful. Doesn’t clean your hair at all and leaves it roughened and ratty.

I use redken once a fortnight or so. I find that it really lifts my highlights and leaves hair in fab condition.
My hairdresser said to use it no more than once a week

I like the Bleach London Smoky shampoo, but I put it on dry hair and then wash it out with Bleach purple shampoo. I am basically treading the line between pastel and blonde hair though, rather than just trying to stay a cool blonde.

Lush Daddyo shampoo. has the added advantage of leaving tour hair smelling like parma violets

I used the schwarzkopf blondme hair mask for cool blondes. It worked really well without an additional shampoo. I've started using the Redken purple shampoo occasionally because it's a bit quicker than the mask but it does make my hair dry if I don't use a good conditioner.

I've used quite a few and Fanola is definitely the best

Only use it when necessary.

I use purple shampoo when I feel my hair would benefit from it and this might only be once a month even.. not even that

Fanola is great. I've oy just went back to blonde and I've probably been using it twice a week. My scalp seems fine.

I use Osis or Milkshake purple shampoos, the Milkshake purple conditioning mousse is lovely as well, all can be purchased from Amazon.

I use Maria Nila recommended by my hairdresser, it's sulphate & paraben free, use the silver one a couple of times a week. I like it

I also use Fanola No Yellow conditioner. It's extremely strong, and if I just put it on for a few minutes in the shower it can turn my hair quite silvery/lilac in colour. It's too much, so now I use it once a fortnight, mixed half and half with a normal conditioner. It'll keep my hair nice and ashy until the next application. It's good stuff.

I use the l'oreal one every time I wash my hair, which is every other day, no wonder my scalp has become dry, what else can I do, I had highlights done at the salon in mid August and they were to brassy, I know I should of gone back and complained but I hate complaining, so using a purple shampoo seems to have helped.

Another vote for Fanola No Yellow. Best purple shampoo I've used by a clear mile!
