The Purple Power: Why Your Gray Hair Might Need a Toning Boost

 

Have you ever noticed your gray hair looking a little yellow or brassy? That’s not dirt, it’s science.

Gray and white hair is more porous, which means it absorbs environmental factors (such as pollution, heat, or hard water) more readily. Over time, this can lead to unwanted yellow or dull tones.

Enter: purple shampoo; your secret weapon.

Purple pigments neutralize brassy tones and restore your strands' fresh, silver brightness. Think of it as a color corrector for your crown.

• Try using it once a week or bi-weekly, depending on your hair’s needs.
• Be sure to follow up with a rich conditioner; some toning shampoos can be drying.

Great purple shampoo to explore:

• Clairol Shimmer Lights: affordable + effective
• SheaMoisture Purple Rice Water Shampoo:  great for textured, natural grays 
• Vanidox Toning Purple Shampoo: tone + softness
• Olaplex No 4 Enhancer Purple toning Shampoo: strengthens and hydrates your grey curls.
