Matrix Total Results Brass Off Blue Shampoo 300ml & Conditioner 300ml Duo for Lightened Brunette Hair

Product Information

Just like purple shampoo, blue shampoo is formulated to bust brassiness in color-treated hair. But where purple shampoo is intended to be used by blondes, and it’s also a common shampoo for gray hair, blue shampoo is better suited for brassy brunettes.

I don’t know how I’ve never heard of or noticed blue shampoo before, and quite frankly I wonder why all stylists have only suggested purple shampoo?! Definite disservice! I’ve used several professional purple brands diligently, and while I always use 1-2x/week I never felt like it was even doing anything. I’m sure it was but just not what I hoped - as in if I stopped using I’m sure I’d notice that too. I’ve never been able to *truly* achieve the holy grail type of cool-toned blonde I’ve wanted. I was just resigned to it being good enough given how naturally dark my hair is. An “it is what it is” kind of thing. And again, it's important to assess both the instructions on the bottle and the needs of your hair in the moment so that you can find the best routine for you. Your brown hair will be glowing in no time. The Best Blue Shampoos Silicone: Silicone is another potentially problematic ingredient for hair and scalp care. This is because silicones are not water soluble, and some types may build up and leave a residue on hair strands. This ultimately prevents moisture from getting into the hair shaft, which may, over time, make the hair dry and weak. The ‘bad’ silicones will leave a mask effect over your hair, meaning they’ll make your hair feel silky and smooth in the short term but will eventually cause damage. There are, however, some silicones, such as PEG-7 dimethicone, which are lighter and water-soluble and therefore less likely to cause damage. . This is the first time I’ve ever written a review for anything in my life, but this deserves it. Lengthy review but I’m excited, ha! There are horizontal sections of each individual hair which are on a different part of this spectrum to others parts of the same hair. And may or may not be on the same part of that spectrum as the hair next to it.By far the best shampoo on the market for dark hair! I’ve been complimented sooo much on how healthy and shiny my hair looks since using this shampoo… doesn’t feel drying at all and I have super long natural hair,” one Influenster reviewer wrote for the Matrix Total Results Dark Envy Shampoo. For highlighted and blonde hair, the results of using a blue pigment may be different and, potentially, less appealing. It is not recommended for golden or yellow-based blondes because blue shampoo can add a green tint to the hair. Remember, when yellow and blue mix, it creates a green color – a hair color mistake that is very difficult to correct. Thus, when your hair is highlighted to yellow, you should be very careful with blue toners and blue shampoos. More recently, the brand has introduced a ‘hair matrix’ to ensure that all of their formulas work for every single diverse hair type. Today, their headquarters are based in Ohio.

Korab walks us through the process. "Blue shampoo should be used on brunette hair that has been lightened or highlighted by applying blue tone pigment into the hair to help tone down brassy tones," she instructs. "For virgin hair or slightly processed hair, it is beneficial to use once a week to make hair appear healthier and shinier and keep brassy tones from coming through." It is also the same story for blue/purple shampoos. They aren't really 'blue' or 'purple', they are on a spectrum with infinite tiny divisions between the two (purple itself contains some blue!). 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. I've been bleaching my (originally dark brown) mop for many years now. The only time I have achieved an apparently visually uniform effect is when I have bleached short, virgin hair all over. The longer it gets, the more variable the results appear.Made specifically for lightened brunette hair, this sulfate-free shampoo deposits blue-violet pigments to reduce brassiness and counteract unwanted warm tones. A variety of products to choose from. This includes the specially formulated Matrix shampoo and the Matrix hair mask You’ve heard of volumizing shampoo, color-protecting shampoo, purple shampoo, and maybe even carbonic acid shampoo. But there’s another type of shampoo that may not have come on on your radar, even in the last two years, that could do wonders for your hair: blue shampoo. If you’re blonde, you should totally should stay away from blue shampoo, because as L’Oréal Paris Creative Director of Style and Color Jonathan Colombini explains, “it won’t damage [blonde hair] but it could turn your blondest blondes a little muddy or even cast a blue tint."
