Purple Shampoo Is the Number One Non-Negotiable in My Blonde Hair Routine
Bye, brassiness.


As someone who has been pretty much every shade of blonde under the sun—golden, butter, honey, bleached, sandy, and rich blonde (you name it, I’ve been it)—I started my love affair with purple shampoo pretty early. I don’t even remember the name of the colorist who gave me my first highlights freshman year of high school, but I do remember her instilling in me the diligence of using a purple shampoo to keep my hair from transforming into an less-than-fabulous shade of tarnished, orange-yellow.
If you’ve ever dipped a toe in going blonde, embraced your gorgeous grays, or wanted to stretch time between salon appointments and still maintain your fresh highlights, I’m here to assure you that the fight to keep your hair luminous and bright doesn’t have to be so hard. Purple shampoo is the number one tool you need in your arsenal against brassiness and discoloration. Why? Color theory, baby.
"Purple shampoo works to neutralize unwanted brassiness or yellowing tones in blonde, gray, silver, and highlighted hair, and to help maintain the integrity of your hair color," explains celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel. "By using a purple pigment to counteract these tones, purple shampoos can help brighten and restore vibrancy to hair while preventing color fade in between salon services."
We spoke to the experts to break down everything there is to know about purple shampoos, like how and when to use purple shampoo, and how to find the best formula for your hair's needs.
The Best Purple Shampoos
- Best Purple Shampoo Overall: Oribe Bright Blonde Shampoo for Beautiful Color
- Best Purple Shampoo For All Hair Colors: Virtue Colorkick® Debrassing Blue - Purple Shampoo
- Best Purple Shampoo For Toning: Christophe Robin Shade Variation Baby Blonde Toning Purple Shampoo With Florentina Iris
- Best Affordable Purple Shampoo: Odele Purple Shampoo
This vegan shampoo from Oribe thoroughly yet gently cleanses hair and combats brassiness, for a just-left-the-salon effect. Like many purple shampoos, however, some users report that it can be drying, particularly for those with hair that’s dry or fragile to begin with. In those cases, it's best to indulge in this shampoo as needed rather than with every wash, similar to how you would use a clarifying shampoo. Another way to supercharge it? Mix it. "You can dilute intense purple shampoos by blending it with your favorite non-purple shampoo," says top hair colorist Katelyn Henderson. "It helps prevent over-toning or leaving your hair with purple or gray hues."
Who It's For: A secret weapon for shampoo-commercial shine and fresh, I-was-born-with-it blonde hues, this super gentle shampoo is brilliant for anyone looking to prevent brassiness as well as wipe out yellowing tones after they appear.
Key Ingredients: Signature complex of watermelon, lychee and edelweiss flower extracts (protects hair from environmental elements); Brightening complex of lemon, ginger root, and chamomile extracts (boosts brightness); Purple orchid extract (repairs damage)
Recommended Use: Daily or as needed
Scent: Calabrian bergamot, white butterfly jasmine, and sandalwood
Sulfate-Free: Yes
What I Love: Gentle; Vegan; Hydrating; Works on all hair types; Offers UV protection; Keratin treatment safe
What I Don't: Expensive; Contains silicones; Can leave behind purple/gray tones if used too long
Review for MC: “This shampoo is a godsend for me no matter the season. I only need to use the teeniest amount—about a dime size—to lather up my hair with all its amazing brass-busting benefits. I recently moved to Austin, Texas where the mineral content in the water is HIGH and the scalding hot temperatures mean I’m outside in the sunshine even more than usual—two major contributors to turning my icy highlights a shade of yellow. Washing my hair with this electric violet shampoo once a week makes the biggest difference in keeping my hair fresh and bright. I especially love that this offers a bit of protection against color-damaging UV rays—kind of like sunscreen for my hair." —Brianna Peters, Contributing Beauty Writer

From the famous French colorist Christophe Robin, this purple shampoo is the next best thing to flying to Robin's famous Paris salon on Rue Bachaumont to get highlights from the legend himself. It gently suds up into a lilac foam as it washes away all traces of yellow and brassy tones. Use it regularly to keep blonde fresh, cool, and vibrant so you can extend time in between salon visits.
Who It's For: Meant for those with colored, highlighted, bleached, or balayage blonde, this purple shampoo delivers a fantastic lather that removes all traces of buildup and oil that can turn fresh blonde brassy, yellow, or orange.
Key Ingredients: Florentina Iris pigment (color corrects brassy, yellow tones); Buriti oil (adds shine); Almond butter (smooths)
Recommended Use: Once every three to five shampoos
Scent: Fresh with a hint of violet
Sulfate-Free: Yes
What I Love: Expert recommended; Really lasts; Smells amazing
What I Don't: Can leave behind purple/gray pigment if not used properly; Can stain bathroom; Not as conditioning as the mask
Review for MC: “Celebrity hairstylist Tracey Cunningham once gave me the incredible advice that the most flattering shade of blonde for me was one to two shades lighter or darker than my childhood blonde. To achieve that effect, I’ve kept up with two rituals: I religiously see my hairstylist Madison Garrett for highlights and I’ve been using this purple shampoo (and the corresponding hair mask) for over a decade. The shampoo helps tone my hair so it looks incredibly natural, like I’ve just got a few piecey, sun-drenched highlights throughout my hair from being outside too long.” —Brianna Peters, Contributing Beauty Writer

One of my personal favorite haircare brands is Virtue. Backed by impressive clinicals, the brand uses rich botanicals, natural colorants (as opposed to synthetic dyes), and their proprietary Alpha Keratin 60ku® protein to ensure hair is not only fresh and luminous, but fights damage and restores strength, too. Plus celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel—who knows good hair—works behind the scenes as the creative director.
Who It's For: The brilliance in Virtue’s Debrassing shampoo is that it’s not an electric purple shade. Instead, it’s a clear gel with a subtle, periwinkle tint. That's because it's made with natural pigments, so all hair colors looking to keep their hair vibrant, glossy, and bright can use it. "Purple shampoos can help reduce brassiness or yellow tones in all different hair shades," says Abergel. "While blondes may see the most noticeable difference initially, these shampoos are great for silver hair that yellows or brunettes that get brassy highlights too."
Key Ingredients: Turmeric root extract (protects from environmental damage); Violet and lavender flower leaf extract (neutralizes brassiness)
Recommended Use: 2 times a week
Scent: Yuzu zest, chamomile, and creamy sandalwood
Sulfate-Free: Yes
What I Love: Works for all hair colors and textures; Vegan; Cruelty-free; Gentle
What I Don't: I wish there was a travel size; Can be a bit drying
Review for MC: "I trust Adir with my life (my hair)—not only does he create some of the most gorgeous hairstyles on the planet, but he also is incredibly passionate about caring for said hair. He puts that passion into Virtue—if you've tried it before, then you know. The cornflower blue-lilac gel magically lifts brassy-causing build-up on the hair without stripping my hair of its natural oils or moisture. It smells incredible, doesn't leave any purple or gray hues behind, and gives me that just-left-the-salon glossy finish." —Brianna Peters, Contributing Beauty Writer

At a whopping 13 ounces, its hard to believe this salon-size shampoo isn't triple the price. But that's the beauty of Odele's purple shampoo—you get high-performance results with incredible drugstore prices. It's made with amazing ingredients renowned for hair health, like rice protein, so it easily supercharges any blonde hair care routine.
Who It's For: Anyone looking for a budget-friendly shampoo and wants to their keep ashy, cool tones in check will appreciate the cost per wear of this jumbo purple shampoo. But the results—glossier, cooler, softer hair—are even more impressive.
Key Ingredients: Amaranth (boosts shine); Rice protein (protects against damage); Violet pigment (fights brassiness)
Recommended Use: No more than 2-3 times per week
Scent: Natural fragrance of cucumber, ylang ylang, and oak moss
Sulfate-free: Yes
What I Love: Dermatologist-tested; Really lasts; Gender neutral; Affordable; Washes out easily
What I Don't: Watery consistency; Can stain bathroom; Doesn't treat frizz
Review For MC: "My hair has been every style of blonde over the years, but my preferred tone is neutral, camel-coat shade with very little warmth. The kicker is my hair loves to turn brassy in just a few washes, so I always turn to this potent purple shampoo (and corresponding conditioner)as a weekly treatment. You definitely need to be careful to not flail your hands as this violet pigment can stain a shower curtain, but after just a 2-3 minute wash, my blonde comes out revived and utterly luminous, like I just got a treatment with my go-to colorist, Colleen Flaherty. The affordable price tag is also proof you don't need to break the bank to maintain your gorgeous blonde shade. " — Hannah Baxter, Beauty Director
Other Purple Shampoos I Love
This purple shampoo from Kérastase, is great not only for fixing brassiness, but also for regular maintenance of dyed or lightened hair. However, because the formula is high-potency, a little goes a long way. The rich product is infused not only with color-strengthening properties like ultraviolet neutralizers, but it’s also packed with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and Edelweiss flower.
Who It's For: Clinically proven to strengthen and enhance both blonde and gray hair, reviewers back up those claims, with buyer after buyer calling this the greatest shampoo they’ve ever used.
Key Ingredients: Hyaluronic acid (seals cuticles); Edelweiss flower (protects against damage); Ultra-Violet neutralizers (neutralizes brassy tones)
Recommended Use: 2-3 times per week
Scent: Floral
Sulfate-free? No
What I Love: Works on all hair types; hydrating; shine-enhancing; contains hyaluronic acid
What I Don't: contains sulfates
Review for MC: "I probably use a purple shampoo once a month and this has been my go-to for well over two years. The smell is incredible (it has the only-in-the-salon scent), works up into a nice foam, and always removes brassiness without detracting from the original tone my colorist set out to achieve." — Samantha Holender, Senior Beauty Editor
Any sort of hair coloring—including bleaching—leaves hair fragile and susceptible to major damage, so it's essential to use a formula that adds strengthening benefits. Bond repair— a hair trend that isn't going away anytime soon—is especially strengthening for hair, and Olaplex's formulas are made with a special bond repair complex. "The Olaplex purple shampoo is great," raves hairstylist Glenn Ellis. "It is really potent, though, so I recommend using a quarter size of it and diluting it with another shampoo. It also has all the properties of the original Olaplex shampoo, so it also helps strengthen the hair."
Who It's For: Reviewers love this option, too, writing that it’s softening and that it works beautifully on both gray and blonde hair. It can be drying, though, so for those with dry or high porosity hair, it shouldn’t be used with every wash.
Key Ingredients: Bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate (bond repair)
Recommended use: 1-2 times per week
Scent: Unscented
Sulfate-Free: Yes
What I Love: Stylist-approved; Strengthens hair follicles; High potency, So long-lasting; Free of sulfates, SLS, and SLES
What I Don't: Can be drying; Can stain hair and bathroom; Doesn't lather
Customer Review: "The results from this shampoo are instantaneous. Whenever my blonde dye starts getting a brassy yellow-y color, I use this shampoo and it immediately brings a shiny color back. It makes my hair look like a brand new dye job. The only thing I wish it did better was lather more. You definitely don't get that soapy feel with this so I feel like I end up using more product, and makes distributing evenly across hair a little more difficult!" —Sephora
A little goes a long way with this violet-hued shampoo. With quinoa protein to lock in moisture and moringa leaf extract to boost keratin production, it feels like you're restoring lifeless, dull, brassy hair to factory settings.
Who It's For: If you want to look like you just walked out of the salon with fresh, icy highlights, this purple shampoo is for you. It's a foolproof option to because it helps take the guesswork out of potentially over-toning your hair—it's safe for all blondes, grays, and lightened brunettes.
Key Ingredients: Cactus Flower Extract (strengthens and prevents breakage); Quinoa protein (locks in moisture); Moringa leaf extract (repairs and restores moisture)
Recommended use: 1-2 times per week
Scent: Citrusy, sweet, and warm
Sulfate-free: Yes
What I Love: Clean at Sephora-approved; Moisturizing; Vegan; Cruelty-free; Works for all hair types and textures
What I Don't: Some users may find the scent too strong
Customer Review: “I have been bleaching/highlighting my hair for over 35 years and I've used every purple shampoo and conditioner out there. This shampoo by Dae is hands-down the BEST one I've tried. It has a lovely and delicate fruity smell, and it beautifully brightens and refreshes my hair between appointments. I've received numerous compliments on my color, whereas before, I only received compliments after a fresh balayage/highlight service. From now on, this will be a staple in my shower!” —Sephora
Ellis notes that, unlike many other purple shampoos, there's no need to use this formula in tandem with another non-purple shampoo, because this one cleanses thoroughly enough.
Who It's For: "This is great for fine hair and moisture," says hairstylist Kevin Kelly of this salon favorite. "A lot of purple shampoos have high alcohol in them and tend to dry out your blonde hair. This formula is also just enough that it’s not going to overtone your hair and make you super ashy or gray like some others might."
Key Ingredients: Murumuru seed butter (locks in moisture); Shea butter (protects and repairs); Jojoba seed oil (adds hydration)
Recommended use: Daily or as needed
Scent: Citrusy
Sulfate-free: Yes
What I Love: Stylist-approved; Works well on thin hair; Nourishing; Softening
What I Don't: Contains silicones
Customer Review: "The products smell amazing and work wonders on my fine hair—leaving it soft, shiny, and never weighed down. I always get compliments on how good my hair smells and looks. Highly recommend!" —KEVIN.MURPHY
From top haircare brand Moroccanoil, this shampoo promises to enhance shine and fight split ends by sealing the hair cuticle and infusing strands with argan oil, which is rich in antioxidants.
Who It's For: If you have dry, curly, wavy, or high porosity hair and are afraid that purple shampoo will leave your hair dry like straw, consider washing your hair with this gently fragranced option. Customers write that it's nourishing, smooths out frizz without destroying curls, and that it doesn't make hair dry the way other alternatives do.
Key Ingredients: Argan oil (repair and nourish); Violet pigment (counteracts brassiness)
Recommended use: Daily or as needed
Scent: Spicy amber and sweet florals
Sulfate-Free: Yes
What I Love: Works on all hair types; Good for curly hair; Adds shine
What I Don't: Contains silicones; Can be drying
Customer Review: "I have tried many purple shampoos before and this one is my holy grail that I always come back to. I have very fine and thin hair, and I was worried about trying this the first time but it doesn’t weigh down my hair. It will not cause your hair to turn purple. It smells amazing. I use this once every two weeks and it gives me such a nice blonde refresh." —Sephora
This nourishing shampoo magically softens, hydrates, and neutralizes orange, brassy tones with a natural toner—bright purple orchid—instead of artificial colorants. It's incredibly gentle and lightweight, so it works as a bit of daily (or how often you wash your hair) maintenance to keep blonde hues bright and cool.
Who It's For: This shampoo works to maintain vibrant color and minimize fading with a sulfate-free, nourishing formula. Its brilliant for all hair types, especially those who want to balance hydration with color retention.
Key Ingredients: Plant-based protein Keravis (strengthens); Astaxanthin (repairs); Bright purple orchid (tones and softens)
Recommended use: Once a week (or every 3rd wash)
Sulfate-Free: Yes
Scent: Fruity pear, soft, floral rose, and sandalwood
What I Love: Comes with matching conditioner; Hydrating; Good for damaged hair; Stylist-approved; Vegan; Paraben-free; Smooths split ends
What I Don't: Contains silicones; Might not be moisturizing enough
Customer Review: "I love this shampoo—I use it once a week and it keeps my balayage from looking yellow/brassy/over-processed. The shampoo also does a good job of cleaning the scalp and making my hair feel clean, however, I would say that in the day/two days after using it, I would recommend a hair mask as it does seem to frizz out the hair a little." —Amazon
Yes, those with gray or silver hair can also experience brassiness. This formula, made with silk proteins, is highly pigmented and promises to banish brassiness after every single wash—even with natural silver or gray tones. You'll notice even better, more noticeable results if you let it sit for just five minutes (the brand's recommendation).
Who It's For: One of the most popular purple shampoos on Ulta’s website, this option from dpHue works on a variety of dyed hair colors—especially pastels and bright shades that require hair to be bleached first. Several reviewers warn that the formula can be drying, though, so be sure to pair it with your favorite, most hydrating conditioner or hair mask.
Key Ingredients: Silk proteins (strengthens); Hibiscus flower extract (brightens)
Recommended use: Once a week or as needed
Sulfate-Free: Yes
Scent: Clean, fresh
What I Love: Free of parabens, SLS, SLES, sulfates, and phthalates; Quick results
What I Don't: Some users find it drying
Customer Review: "I use this product about two to three times a week as the only shampoo in my line up. I started using it to decrease the brassy color in my blonde hair and you see immediate results! I now have blue hair, but it's gentle enough that it's not stripping the color out at a crazy fast pace. I've seen a drastic change in my hair quality and hair growth since I first started using it in March. It's amazing how a little bit goes a long way and it can get me through two to three months before I start running low. The shampoo itself can make your hair feel drier than normal in the shower, but the conditioner punches through that instantly!" —Ulta
If you constantly need more moisture (same!), this inky purple shampoo delivers all the cool, icy tones without stripping hair of its natural oils. I especially love it when my hair is feeling dryer-than-dry and totally stripped down—it conditions and tamps down frizz without leaving hair feeling greasy and weighted down.
Who It's For: This nourishing, botanical-packed purple shampoo is a brilliant choice for anyone with dry hair, as well as those with fine, thin, or fragile strands.
Key Ingredients: Ocean Silk Technology (strengthens, protects, and moisturizes)
Recommended use: 1-2 times per week or as needed
Sulfate-Free: Yes
Scent: Floral
What I Love: Adds UV protection; Moisturizes; Vegan; Cruelty-free; Environmentally conscious brand
What I Don't: Runny consistency; Users found the screw-off cap made application messy
Customer Review: "As far as the container goes I just poured some of the shampoo into a traveling shampoo bottle with a snap top lid.This is by far the best shampoo I have ever used for my gray/white hair. I have fine thin hair and this absolutely has added some volume along with shine and beautiful color." — Amazon
Made with jagua blue extract, a superstar botanical alternative to synthetic violet dyes, this formula not only tones out unwanted warmth, but also leaves hair with a glossy shine and silkiness.
Who It's For: Anyone who wants to keep their hair silky-soft and smooth while also wiping out brassy, yellow tones will love this option. It works for natural blondes as well as highlighted or chemically colored blondes. The brand is also committed to sustainability—they use packaging made of post-consumer recycled plastic, and all Davines products are certified Plastic Net-Zero—a huge bonus.
Key Ingredients: Baobob (moisturizes and smooths); Jagua blue extract (neutralizes warmth)
Recommended Use: As needed
Sulfate-Free: Yes
Scent: Natural
What I Love: No silicones; Natural pigments; Sustainable-focused brand
What I Don't: Not hydrating enough; Some don't like the scent
Customer Review: "After one use my hair feels so silky and how it felt as virgin hair. I have heat damaged and bleached hair and it feels so smooth and the texture has come back to what it used to after JUST ONE USE. Please get. Worth it!" —Amazon
With the brand's special Bond Cure Technology, botanical butters, and rosemary extract, this purple shampoo restores blonde shades to their former radiance in no time, leaving hair cooler, icier, and softer. It not only cleanses away dirt, oil, and mineral buildup that could contribute to brassiness, but also strengthens and locks in moisture to help prevent breakage and fraying.
Who It's For: If you're worried that purple shampoo is going to strip your hair, exacerbate breakage, and make it feel lifeless, flat, and straw-like (valid!), Amika's super moisturizing formula is the ultimate secret weapon. With a whopping 9.2 ounces, you don't have to worry about running out either (it's about $3 per ounce—girl math).
Key Ingredients: Bond Cure Technology (repairs and strengthens); Quinoa protein (smooths); Rosemary extract (boosts hair growth)
Recommended Use: As needed
Sulfate-Free: Yes
Scent: Amber vanilla
What I Love: Vegan; Sephora Planet-Aware approved; Repairs; Strengthens; Moisturizing; Works for gray and some brunette shades as well
What I Don't: Scent can be polarizing; Can leave buildup if not thoroughly cleansing enough; Might not be best for white hair
Customer Review: "I’m a little over halfway through my first bottle and I am in love. The smell is amazing. A little goes a long way. I have people asking me all the time if I just got my hair done, because it is looking so blonde. I will definitely be purchasing again!" —Sephora
Who Should Use a Purple Shampoo?
Pretty much everything can affect the integrity of your hair color—the minerals in your water, exposure to the sun, heat styling, and of course, what shampoos, conditioners, and leave-ins you use regularly.
Ellis says that if your highlights, platinum color, or grays look dull or yellow, it's the best time to look into a purple shampoo, just as brunettes often turn to blue shampoos when their locks look dull. Think of it as you do color-correcting makeup—where a green concealer can help buff out redness, purple shampoo can help neutralize warm, yellow tones.
"You want to use a purple shampoo when you start to see those warmer tones come through in your blonde—when it starts to get yellowy-brassy looking," Ellis explains. "Typically, people use it once every other week once they start to see brassiness (usually six to eight weeks post-color). I recommend talking with your colorist about the frequency with which you use it, depending on your color."
Kelly adds that purple shampoo is only a good fit for people with light or cooler-toned hair. "You cannot use purple shampoo on caramel highlights," he says. It will not do anything. It’s not light enough for the color to grab on to." He also adds that purple shampoo works wonders "if your hair isn’t light enough or your hair was highlighted or colored in properly."
Remember that purple shampoo is meant to be a temporary fix until your next professional color appointment—not a permanent solve. "The more you use purple shampoo, the more it makes your blonde look dull, because you are continuously depositing color shampoo," Kelly points out. So, while keeping a bottle on hand is important, that doesn't mean you can skip your hair appointments altogether.
What To Look For in a Purple Shampoo
The best purple shampoo is one that keeps your hair fresh and vibrant by eliminating yellow, brassy tones that build up on hair. High-quality ingredients and proper use make the biggest difference in results.
Ingredients:
"Look for a purple shampoo with natural colorants as they tend to be less harsh than synthetic dyes, especially for chemically treated or damaged hair," says Abergel. "Traditional violet pigments in shampoos, conditioners, and masks for blondes tend to leave build-up on the hair. While the pigment initially deposits onto the hair shaft, it can accumulate over time which often leaves a dull layer on hair."
Frequency of Use:
Another thing to look out for? How often you're using purple shampoo. "You want a purple shampoo that is concentrated enough to do the job, but be wary of anything that is too pigmented, as overuse can very easily dull out the hair," says Henderson. "If you are finding yourself grabbing a purple shampoo more than one to two times a week, it might be a sign that you need to schedule a professional toning service with your colorist."
What Are The Downsides Of Purple Shampoo?
Because you're essentially using purple pigment on your hair—whether natural or synthetic—it's incredibly important to follow the label's instructions for best practices. "Purple shampoos with synthetic dyes, if used too frequently or left on too long, can leave a dull, grayish or violet cast on the hair, making it look muddy rather than bright," says Abergel. "Heavily pigmented shampoos can also stain skin, nails, or bathroom surfaces if not rinsed quickly."
A lot of drawbacks happen when you overuse or don't use purple shampoo properly, adds Henderson. "Additionally, if you are someone who likes warmth in their hair, a purple shampoo should be used far less frequently than someone who prefers a cooler tone," she says. "In this case, a good professional, color-safe shampoo and conditioner may work better."
How Often Should I Use Purple Shampoo for Gray Hair?
Those with gray hair can actually use purple shampoo more often than blondes with varying levels of dimension and depth. "I normally recommend my clients use purple shampoo once a week to once every two weeks," says Henderson. "But someone with silver hair can use purple shampoo a bit more frequently as there isn’t as much of a risk with over toning."
