Toning shampoos

Toning shampoo can help protect hair color from unwanted shades between coloring visits to the hairdresser. Although the best-known and most commonly used in this category of shampoos is the balanced purple shampoo for blondes, toning shampoos can be blue, purple, or green, depending on what color dyed hair is to be highlighted or what unwanted shades are to be neutralized.

The essential feature is that the pigments contained in toning shampoos neutralize yellow, orange or copper shades in the color of dyed hair, giving the hair a uniform tone as if immediately after the dyeing procedure. Therefore, the products of this category are indispensable for full-fledged care of dyed hair and preservation of color.

What toning shampoo is best for my hair color?

The essential aspect is to rely on the principle of the color wheel palette - to choose a toning shampoo pigment of the opposite color to the shade you want to eliminate. For example, the purple shampoo pigment neutralizes unwanted yellow tones the best, so it is recommended for blondes, while the blue pigment shampoo cancels out various orange and pink tones, so it is suitable for brunette hair.

How often can you use toning shampoo?

We do not recommend using this type of shampoo every day, sufficient regularity of use is once a week or every third or fourth wash. Too frequent use of toning shampoo can lighten the hair color too much or even give it a purple or bluish tone. Therefore, it is best to use this type of shampoo as an additional product, combining them with a regular hair care routine or shampoo for colored hair.
