If you have dyed brunette hair, you may find that your hair takes on brassy orange tones as the dye fades.

Blue shampoo is a color-depositing shampoo with a deep blue-violet tint that is intended to reduce unwanted brassiness in dyed brunette hair.

Blue shampoo is best for brassy brunette hair since brunettes are the ones who end up with unwanted copper and orange tones in their dyed hair.

If you have unwanted yellow tones (generally found in dyed blonde hair, or naturally grey hair), purple shampoo is recommended since yellow is the opposite of purple on the color wheel.

As you can see, after using blue shampoo on dry hair, the unwanted orange tones are GREATLY reduced and I’m back to the cool brunette tones I love.

Don’t use it too often: It is very drying, so it should only be used once a week.

WHAT SHADE OF EYEBROW LOOKS BEST ON YOU?

Don’t leave it on too long: I accidentally left it on my dry hair for 30 minutes.  My hair felt quite frizzy afterward, and even the Joico K-Pak wasn’t enough to get it back to normal.

Do you HAVE to use blue shampoo while going gray cold turkey? Definitely not! Only use it if the brassy tones in your fading dye bother you.
