We’ve all heard of purple and silver shampoo by now, but wanna know the hottest colour on the block? If you’re a brunette (either by dying your hair or naturally), blue shampoo works the same way as purple shampoos do: it contrasts the orange and red tones to make sure your hair stays a sassy cool shade of brunette.
Wanna know what all the fuss is about? Then read our rundown on the best blue shampoos and conditioners.
Who is blue shampoo for?
Blue shampoo is perfect for brunettes and people with ombré or balayage dyed hair. It takes out the warm and brassy orange and red tones that can appear after dying, cooling them to make the hair appear deeper and shinier.
A blue toning shampoo is best used once a week, rather than daily, in order to maintain colour. Basically, it’s the perfect hair product for anyone lookin’ to counter hair dye fading
