Blue vs Purple Shampoo?

5 min to read

     

Ever wondered which to use? A blue or purple shampoo?

Both shampoos are designed to help with brassy tones. Brassy tones, whether you are blonde or brunette, you will experience when you colour your hair and that colour treatment begins to fade after weeks of shampooing, sun exposure etc.

To know which one is for you, consider the colour wheel. 

Purple is opposite to yellow on the colour wheel. Yellow tones appear in blonde hair in the weeks after bleaching treatments. So if you have blonde hair (or platinum, grey, white) you can use purple shampoo to neutralise those brassy tones and leave your hair brilliantly bright blonde again!

Blue is opposite to warmer brassy tones like orange and red on the colour wheel. Warm orange and red tones appear in brunette hair as colour begins to fade away. So, if you have brunette hair you can use blue shampoo to restore your vibrant salon fresh colour. While purple toning is mainly for blonde hair, blue toning is designed to work for both brunettes AND warm blondes, meaning it works on warm highlights and balayage too.

WELCOME SUMMER WITH BRIGHTER BLONDE HAIR

10 min to read

     

Summer can be amazing; it’s all sun, sea, sand, and cocktails! Nothing bad about that… Except all four can have a super damaging effect on your hair, so it’s really important you look after it, especially in summer. Get prepped with our haircare superheroes that’ll bring out the best in your hair colour.

Here’s some of our summer haircare top tips to keep your blonde looking its best throughout the sunny months.

 

Refresh Regularly

We all know that chlorine and salt don’t do wonders for your hair, but the warmer weather in the summer means you’re likely to be lying on a lilo or surfing some waves at the beach. To help reduce the amount of damage, make sure you wash your hair with cool, fresh water before and after. Our hair is super porous, so rinsing it first will limit the amount of damaging chlorine and salt your hair absorbs and will wash away impurities afterwards.

 

Replenish Moisture

Just like you, your hair gets dehydrated in the heat of the summer. But there are quick, easy ways you can keep your hair hydrated to ensure it doesn’t dry out in the warmer weather. Your two BFFs are a toning treatment mask, or a leave-in conditioner.

Simply use a toning treatment mask to lock in moisture and bring back a healthy shine. Our new Touch Of Silver Toning Treatment Mask nourishes locks for visibly brighter hair using our hydrating AquaPlex™ system, while also cancelling out brassy tones. Use this once a week to keep your hair moisturised and nourished, giving it the hydration it deserves. Leave-in conditioners are great for dry, damaged hair to instantly inject some hydration. Our Touch Of Silver Leave-In Conditioner contains a nourishing and moisturising formula, which includes pro-vitamin B5 to help lock in shine. It’ll be your ultimate hair hero!

 

Relinquish Straighteners

It’s no secret that heat styling can dry out your hair. So, with the increased humidity and risk of sun damage during the summer, try not to add extra heat to your hair and dry it out further. Embrace your natural texture with top-quality products and gentle styling.

 

Maintain Shine

In summer, the mixture of hot sun and time in the sea and pool means your hair can take a lot of stress, this can mean it loses a little bit of its shine. Using a brightening shampoo can help to bring that shine and radiance back into blonde, platinum, or grey hair. Our Touch of Silver Brightening Shampoo will do just that, and it’ll also neutralise yellow and brassy tones at the same time. You should see results from your very first wash!
