So you are now clued up on the topic of “What Does Purple Shampoo do” and you are ready to move to the next step and find out how to use purple shampoo. Well we got you covered. You may think the first step is wetting your hair but it starts way before that. Let’s get into it. 

Choose the Right Purple Shampoo

To truly Dye It, Love It, Keep It, the first thing on the list is making sure you choose the right purple shampoo. The purple shampoo you choose can really make a difference in how lasting and vibrant your hair color is. 

Look for a purple shampoo that is opaque and thick and rich in color. This way you know you’re getting a high quality product. Please keep in mind that different hair shades might need different formulas. For example if you’re a true blonde a brighter shade of purple might do the trick while if you've got platinum, gray, or silver hair, a darker purple shampoo is usually the way to go. 

Once you have found your purple shampoo soulmate you can move on to the next step of wetting your hair. 

Use Lukewarm Water To Wet Your Hair

Not only does lukewarm water feel amazing and super relaxing to your scalp, but it will also open up your hair strands, helping them soak up all the goodness of the purple shampoo.

Once your hair is completely wet, it’s time for the purple magic! Apply and lather your shampoo and gently massage it into your hair from your roots to your ends. Pay special attention to your ends as they tend to be more porous and can change color more easily. 

Also make sure to target those stubborn areas along the way, especially brassy or yellow strands.

Let It Sit 

When it comes to purple shampoo it is a bit different from your regular shampoo, it needs a bit of time to do its thing. So don’t rinse your hair right away. The time you should wait to rinse your hair will all depend on your hair color and if it has been color-treated.

If you're a natural blondie, try and leave the purple shampoo in for about 2 to 3 minutes before you wash it out. Some purple shampoo brands will suggest 5 minutes so make sure you check the package for instructions. If your hair is color-treated and showing some brassiness try to wait 5 to 15 minutes before rinsing. 

And if you have platinum, gray, or silver hair, you can let the purple shampoo sit for a bit longer (up to 30 minutes). It all depends how brassy or discolored your hair looks and what the bottle’s instructions say.

Rinse With Cool Water

After you have let the purple potion do its thing, rinse your hair thoroughly with cool water. Make sure to get every inch as you don’t want any shampoo staying on your hair longer than it should. You can then apply some conditioner afterward to provide even more moisturization to your hair.

The Perfect Lather-Up Routine
