Is Purple Shampoo Necessary For Gray Hair?

Purple shampoo isn’t essential for gray hair. For one thing, not everybody's gray hair will take on brassy yellow tones. Yellowing is common for many people on their natural hair journey, however, it does not necessarily follow that your hair will yellow as it turns gray. For another thing, some women don't mind the brassy yellow tones. If they don't bother you, why try to fix them? In gray hair care, the only time you need to use purple shampoo is if your hair has permanent yellowing. It won't remove the permanent yellowing but will reduce its appearance.

What Happens If You Use It Too Often?

You don’t want to use it more than once a week, as it can give your hair a lilac tinge. It can also significantly dry out your hair and cause it to become brittle.
