If you tried the purple shampoo but it didn’t help, it might be because of one of the following:
- Your sparing usage of purple shampoo is the first factor. As a result, you should use more shampoo to wash your hair.
- The purple shampoo wasn’t left on for long enough, which is reason number two. Later, I’ll offer you further information.
- The third explanation is that you are utilizing hair products that counteract the effects of the purple shampoo. Please use only sulfate-free products.
- Your hair’s low porosity prevents it from absorbing the purple shampoo’s pigments. To get rid of the yellowish cast, you will need to use a toner.
As you can see, there may be a number of reasons why the purple shampoo failed to improve the condition of your hair.
Do you know the good news, though? That a solution exists for each of these causes.
And you won’t have to spend a lot of time or money to get purple shampoo to work in the end.
You only need to review your daily hair and beauty regimen. Of course, you also need to be aware of its purpose and how to use purple shampoo.
Because it’s possible you bought purple shampoo and started using it right away without reading the instructions first.
And trust me. All of the tips for making purple shampoo work on your hair can be found in those instructions.
However, I want you to dispel a few myths regarding purple shampoo before you examine your hair care regimen to figure out why it isn’t working.
Many individuals believe that “damaged hair cannot be repaired using purple shampoo.” And that isn’t accurate.
Because purple shampoo’s only purpose is to add violet pigments to hair to counteract yellowish tones, it can be used on both damaged and healthy hair.
Additionally, some individuals believe that “purple shampoo only works on bleached hair.”
And that is also untrue. Both naturally blonde hair and hair that has been colored blonde can use purple shampoo.
Because intense yellowish tints can also develop in naturally blonde hair.
I want you to know that you will find out today why purple shampoo is ineffective for your hair. However, the most crucial factor is that you understand the solution to correct it.
YOU MUST USE THE PURPLE SHAMPOO SEVERAL TIMES FOR IT TO BE EFFECTIVE.
Because this particular shampoo builds up its effects gradually. In order to start noticing benefits, you must use the shampoo at least three or four times.
It makes sense that you have not seen any effects if you have used the purple shampoo fewer than three times.
As a result, you should wait at least fifteen days to observe the results if you wash your hair twice or three times every week.
Now, if you’ve been using purple shampoo for five weeks and haven’t seen any benefits, it’s possible that the brand you chose lacks color or has poor pigments.
And in that situation, I advise picking a purple shampoo with stronger colors.
Beyond the brand, though, it is also possible for impatience to fool you. The second reason why purple shampoo might not be effective is brought up by this.
Three to five minutes are spent with the purple shampoo on the hair. Even seven minutes or more is advised by certain manufacturers.
Many ladies are frightened when they wash their hair with purple shampoo because they think their hair will turn totally purple. What do they then do?
Shampoo should be rinsed right away. Additionally, when they do that, the pigments are not effectively deposited in the hair. They consequently failed to temper the unforgiving yellow hues.
WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?
I advise you to use the purple shampoo on clean, thoroughly dried hair, holding it in place with a hair clip.
Wear a shower hat and wait the amount of time advised by the manufacturer.
Take advantage of the chance to scrub your skin, take a bath with essential oils, or just relax in the warm water by the light of a candle.
It’s crucial to allow the purple shampoo to work for the amount of time recommended by the manufacturer. Purple shampoo won’t work if you rinse it off earlier than advised.
If you’ve used the purple shampoo for fifteen days and given it the recommended amount of time to work, your hair products are likely the culprit—or, more precisely, the reason why it doesn’t work.
YOU MUST USE SULFATE-FREE HAIR PRODUCTS FOR THE PURPLE SHAMPOO TO FUNCTION PROPERLY.
Purple shampoo’s pigments fade fast since they are quite delicate. So, none of your hair products should have sulfates, parabens, or metallic salts in them.
Checking the labels on all of your hair grooming products, from masks and heat protectants to gels and leave-in conditioners, is crucial for this reason.
What particulars on labels should you look for? The words that can be used to determine whether certain things work well with purple shampoo are
What do these terms mean?
- Sulfate free or without sulfates
- Parabens free or without parabens
- 100% Vegan or vegan product
- Protective color or color protection
Your hair products won’t remove the pigments from the purple shampoo, and the results will last longer if they have these qualities.
I also wish to draw attention to another widespread error.
The hair of many women is washed once with purple shampoo and then twice with different shampoos.
Purple shampoo washes and pigments the hair. As a result, after washing your hair with the purple shampoo, you shouldn’t use any other shampoo.
YOU SHOULD USE A TONER IF PURPLE SHAMPOO DOESN’T WORK DUE TO YOUR HAIR’S LOW POROSITY.
The porosity of your hair is how well it can take in whatever you put on it.
Purple shampoo won’t be strong enough to remove strong colors from hair with little porosity. Toner is that product’s strongest component.
WHAT DISTINGUISHES PURPLE TONER FROM PURPLE SHAMPOO?
• Purple shampoo is applied to the hair’s outermost layer, thus washing removes it.
• The toner enters the hair because a 20 volume developer is used to apply it. Thus, even though your hair has limited porosity, it will still be able to deposit the violet pigments to temper the jarring hues.
I recommend WELLA COLOR CHARM T10 if you want the same effect as purple shampoo.
Once the toner has been applied, you can keep using the purple shampoo to extend the duration of the toner’s effects.
CONCLUSIONS
Stick to the exposure times and usage schedule suggested by the manufacturer if you want purple shampoo to work on your hair.
So that the purple shampoo’s colors don’t fade, it’s important that the hair products you use don’t have any sulfates or parabens in them.
Q&A
1. Will purple shampoo turn my hair purple?
I’m sure to! IF the shampoo is colored and tinted (like this one). Check your labels! Even while it could appear that way before you rinse it out, if it is not a color-depositing product, it won’t turn your hair purple.
Just keep in mind that the toning will be more intense the longer you leave it on and the more frequently you use it.
2. How often should I use purple shampoo?
What level of platinum do you want for your hair? When I wash my hair (which is only twice a week, shh!) I always use my purple shampoo since I enjoy having white blonde hair. It’s advisable to start out using your purple shampoo just once per week and switch the other days to ordinary shampoo. Simply monitor your brass levels to determine what works best for you. Here is a simple-to-use starter tool that is a customer favorite.
3. How do I use purple shampoo? How long should purple shampoo be left in?
The fact that purple shampoo works on both dry and wet hair is the best-kept secret in this whole situation. Yes, dry shampoo is effective for dry hair. Use a comb to rub your purple shampoo through your dry hair if you need to get rid of a lot of brassiness before you take a shower.
After up to 20 minutes, wash it out and proceed as usual with a conditioner. Even naturally gray or silver hair that has undesired yellow tones can benefit from its use.
Use it on damp hair in the shower like normal shampoo if you need a less strong refresh for your light locks. You still have the option to leave it on for up to 20 minutes before rinsing.
Use the purple toning conditioner that matches your purple toning shampoo for longer-lasting results (like this tried and true hero product).
4. I left purple shampoo on too long. What ought I to do?
Just quickly wash it with a decent clarifying shampoo! Blonde hair that has been lightened is particularly porous, or damaged! So don’t worry if you overdo it with the purple shampoo. The silver color in your hair should be readily removed with a good detoxifying scrub or clarifying shampoo.
5. I want to keep my hair a nice blonde, but my ends are so dry! What should I do?
Grab a purple toning mask or treatment instead of the purple shampoo. These masks will still help eliminate brassy undertones and correct yellow tones, but they will also nourish your hair and prevent dry, damaged ends. Here’s one that will meet all of your requirements for blonde hair.
