A purple-colored shampoo is one designed to tone blonde, grey, and white hair tones. The shampoo features purple micro-pigments, which help to neutralize brassy and yellow tones, and instead maintain cooler tones. Purple is the opposite of yellow on the color wheel, so by depositing purple pigment onto the hair, it cancels out brassy and yellow tones.

• Hard Water: Hard water has a high mineral content (mainly calcium & magnesium carbonates, bicarbonates, and sulfates). Iron in hard water works as an oxidizer, for example, when shampooing blonde hair every day this oxidization can continue to turn your hair yellow.
• Heat Styling: High heat styling within the first week of color/toner, or high heat combined with mineral build-up on the hair or build-up on hair tools can cause blonde or grey hair to turn yellow. Shampoos, conditioners, hair sprays, waxes, aerosols, etc. with gold, and yellow tones/pigments can leave a yellowish deposit on the hair.
• Other Environmental Stressors:The environment can play a large role in the cause of yellow or brassy hair. External aggressors such as pollution, excessive sun exposure, chlorine- treated water, smoke, etc can all lead to hair turning yellow.

While purple shampoo is typically marketed towards blonde hair, specifically those with lightened or highlighted hair, it can also be used by individuals with other hair colours. Such as people with gray or white hair can benefit by using purple shampoo for blondes as it can help neutralize their hair. Additionally, people who have darker hair with blonde highlights or a blonde balayage can also use purple shampoo to tone their hair in between salon appointments.
