You’ve probably heard of purple shampoos and conditioners, which work to offset yellow and orange tones in blonde hair. Blue-based products, on the other hand, take that mission one step further, working wonders on both blondes and brunettes alike. Upon application, the Brass Off Shampoo deposits a deep blue-violet pigment that works to transform your mane into the perfect shade of icy blonde or cool brunette. Matrix recommends wearing disposable gloves while raking it through strands to avoid staining your hands. The longer you let it sit, the less yellow-based your hair color will look when it dries.
Others mention how much more natural their newly lightened hair looked after only one use. “I’m a brunette who is trying to go blonde and like most brunettes, after bleaching, my hair had a lot of yellow and orange tone to it and definitely didn’t look natural in the slightest,” wrote another reviewer. “It worked wonders! I’m actually a natural shade of blonde now—no orange and yellow—and that’s just after one use.”
