Product Information

caravanserai Great shampoo for gray hair I have been using this shampoo and the blue Malva conditioner for my gray ( almost white) hair for some years. Although it’s a dark purple colour there is no residue or tinting. Expensive, but it lasts a long time so I would say it works out at a fair cost per wash. It keeps my hair in great condition and helps to achieve a smooth, sleek bob.

Wiley also lists a number of other qualities that make a blue shampoo great, including, "UV filters to protect hair from sun damage; a mild, low-pH formula to help maintain color and prevent brassiness; plant-based, color-enhancing ingredients like blueberry extract and blue-violet pigments; moisturizing ingredients like glycerin and panthenol to protect and repair hair; and, finally, Vitamin B5 to help strengthen hair strands." How To Use Blue Shampoo The term blue shampoo is pretty self-explanatory—the shampoo formula is enriched with blue pigments that infuse into the hair. Won't that turn my hair blue, we hear you ask? Not quite, as the process is a little bit more scientific than that. How does blue shampoo for brown hair work? Just like skin, your hair gets its natural color from melanin — without it, your hair would be white. When melanin production starts to slow down, you may start seeing gray hairs. Graying hair doesn’t mean your hair will fall out, but you do need to start using specialized shampoos to help protect your strands. These include purple shampoos that prevent your gray strands from turning yellowish in tone and those that keep your hair from becoming brittle. For years, purple shampoo has been the anti-brassiness poster child when it comes to minimizing those inevitable, unwanted warm tones that occur slowly but surely in lightened strands. (In case you're curious, frequent washes, sun exposure, heat-styling, and the minerals and chemicals found in our water can be held responsible.) Alas, to keep lightened hair looking as fresh, cool, and un-yellow as possible, purple can save the day. Since purple shades are best at canceling out yellow tones, those violet-hued shampoos are typically more effective for people with blonde or gray strands, and—plot twist— blue-toned shampoos are actually the far more strategic choice if you have brown hair, be it a dye job or your au naturel hue.Made specifically for lightened brunette hair, this sulfate-free shampoo deposits blue-violet pigments to reduce brassiness and counteract unwanted warm tones.

When shopping for a blue shampoo, both Wiley and Korab agree that customers should avoid products with sulfates. Korab adds that you should also steer clear of parabens and silicones. While there are many standout blue 'poos on the market, Matrix Brass Off shines above the rest. Formulated specifically for lightened brunette hair, this sulfate-free hair wash deposits blue-violet pigments to minimize brassiness. In other words, it creates a stunning cool-toned finish that brings out the intended effect of your color-treated hair. The vanilla-rose scent doesn't hurt either. There are plenty of everyday hair products out there, but not every formula is suited for everyday use. Just as clarifying shampoos and hair growth shampoos are often best used as-needed, your blue shampoo may come with specific instructions, especially in terms of frequency and methodology. Brunette hair has more melanin than blonde strands, when it's lightened (in the salon or by the sun) the pigment is removed, resulting in a warmer or copper tone. Which may be perfect for the summer months but if copper isn't what you are going for, then a blue shampoo may be your answer.

Hairstylist Jennifer Korab agrees, adding, "As the weeks progress, it’s common for color-treated hair to become brassy regardless of color tone. Blue shampoo can counterbalance the brassy pigment and extend the life of the hair between salon visits."
