Understanding Why Your Hair Has Turned Purple

Many purple shampoos are very pigmented. High-quality purple shampoos usually include a balanced amount of pigment and product, while over-the-counter purple shampoos might contain more dye and can cause your hair to be a different color than what you expected it to be. 

The reason your hair has taken on a purple color is because of the violet pigment in the purple shampoo. This violet pigment is what helps neutralize the brassy and yellow undertones that can show up in your hair. 

When you have a look at the color wheel you will see that purple is opposite from yellow and orange. Now purple shampoo works in the same way by neutralizing the yellow and brassy tones in your hair. 

Purple Shampoo Results

The way your hair looks after using purple shampoo can be different for everyone. This is because everyone's hair is different. Your hair might be more porous than your friend’s hair, especially if you have bleached your hair recently. After you have bleached your hair, you might notice that your hair tends to pick up blue and purple tones more easily, especially on the ends where it is more damaged and porous.

Purple hues might also stick to your hair if you overuse your purple shampoo or leave it on longer than intended. 

If you are looking for a reliable purple shampoo option that has a pure and nourishing formula, will get rid of your brassiness, and will leave your hair feeling revitalized and salon-fresh, the Bye Bye Yellow Shampoo from COLORLOMO, is just for you.

You also don’t have to worry about it staining your hair purple. This is because it has a gentle coloring ability that is designed to delay fading after dyeing, add a hint of color if your hair is very light, or just give a subtle tone to your bleached blonde hair. 

With Bye Bye Yellow Shampoo from COLORLOMO, you get the results you expected, there are no purple surprises.

Gather a few of your Vitamin C tablets and crush them with your go-to shampoo to form a paste. Apply this paste to your hair and leave it on for about half an hour, and then rinse afterward. Vitamin C is also acidic like lemon juice and will help you to fade the purple tint out of your hair. 

How to Avoid Purple Hair from Purple Shampoo 

So you have learned how to remove purple shampoo from hair, but let’s have a look at some tips to keep your hair from turning a surprise shade of purple altogether. 

• Pick the pro stuff - Go for a purple shampoo that is high-quality and salon-grade instead of the cheaper generic options. Professional shampoos have the right balance of product and pigment to tone your hair without turning it purple.

• Read those fine prints - Make sure to read the instructions before you use your purple shampoo. When you follow the instructions it can help you avoid leaving the purple shampoo on for too long, which might lead to the purple staining.

• Less is more - Be mindful of how much purple shampoo you use. When you apply too much your hair can soak up excess pigment, and we definitely don’t want that. 

• Stick to the time - Don’t leave your purple shampoo in your hair for longer than is needed. Stick to the time that is recommended to prevent any purple surprises.
