Hello ND, purple pigments help neutralize yellow tones, but on very white hair, they can sometimes leave a temporary bluish or grayish tint. We recommend pausing the Purple Shampoo and using our regular Gray Hair Shampoo to help gradually wash out the tint. If you decide to try the Purple Shampoo again, apply it mainly to the yellow areas and leave it on for just 30 seconds to 1 minute before rinsing thoroughly. We appreciate your feedback and hope these tips help! 😊💜

Hi CKP, we’re sorry to hear that our Purple Toning Shampoo didn’t give you the results you expected!

Same here. Yellow did not diminish. Gray hair turned blue.

The purple shampoo did not clear the yellow but made the rest of my white hair grayish blue

Really like the purple shampoo and conditioner. Finally the yellow is gone!! The Vingar Rinse is also helping! Love how my hair shines and fills so soft.
