Purple Shampoos That'll Breathe New Life Into Your Hair

This is the smartest brightening formula you'll try this season. Positively charged micro-capsules infuse negatively charged hair fiber with nutritious argan oil to moisturize the hair while it's lifting the warmer tones. Even silver foxes can use this formula, since it banishes the orange tones that can crop up in grey hair. 

The hyaluronic acid in this luxe formula keeps the hair bouncy and hydrated while lifting brassiness. Combine it with the line's powerful pigmented mask for a total transformation. 

Hibiscus flower extract and silk amino acids make this formula as hydrating as it is toning. This formula will zap any warmth in your hair, so it's best for ashier blondes.

If brassiness is your main concern, John Frieda's deeply pigmented offering will knock it out in just one use (and for mere dollars.) 

Seabuckthorn, the brand's hero ingredient, is fatty acid and vitamin-rich and optimal for keeping hair that's been damaged by color strong. That's why this formula works so well for strands that are a bit brittle, but still need some much needed reinvigorating.

Chic packaging is the least of this offering's best qualities. It works for all textures, won't mess with highlights, and injects fresh silvery tones into any shade. 

The entire squad can use Matrix' yellow-squashing option. The violet in the formula kicks the warmth out of both brunette and blond strands. 

Time-released botanicals and natural plum extracts add plenty of moisture to strands that need extra TLC, and provide salvation to split ends made worse by repeated color. 

$12 (!!!) will earn you more than enough brightening power to hold you over until your next salon visit. And the formula is versatile: For ashier color, you can keep it in the shower for everyday use, or for something a bit warmer, stick to using it every other day. 

While time and over-washing are big factors in dulled color, environmental aggressors can exacerbate the issue. Oribe's signature complex of watermelon, lychee, and edelweiss flower extract helps protect your mane, which means brighter color for longer. 

Lemon and chamomile extracts give this everyday formula its brightening powers. It treats the hair as it tones it, too: the brand included Keratin to strengthen the hair and fight against breakage. 

Justin and Hailey Bieber have been known to share this one in the shower, and if that's not incentive enough, it's instantly effective for keeping platinum blondes as icy as possible. 

One wash goes a long way with Joico's formula: Tone-correcting pigments attach to the hair's fibers and stay attached through multiple shampoos, so your mane becomes more vibrant long after your blow dry.

In addition to having an undeniably catchy name, Lush's pigmented shampoo has citrus juices and seaweed that brighten and strengthen hair the all-natural way. 

If your hair needs some extra TLC, reach for this totally bespoke option. Just take the quiz online based on your hair's texture and specific needs, and the yellow-neutralizing purple pigment can be added to your personalized formula. 

Not only will this formula make your blonde brighter, but it will help preserve the color that's already there, which means less salon visits (and coloring at home.) 

Strengthen your strands while you zap yellow tones. Nexxus' violet pigment-infused shampoo contains keratin proteins to repair damaged curls and waves. 

Amazonian oils give this versatile formula its nourishing kick. It'll cool down the warm tones in platinum blondes, but isn't too harsh to use on honey blondes who wish to keep their color more neutral. 

Violet rice smoothes frizz in this budget-friendly option, and restores much-needed shine to hair that's been worn down by repeated coloring.

If you're looking for brighter strands by the time Happy Hour rolls around, wash then with this whitening formula. It'll lift a ton of brassiness in just one rinse.
