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.

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.

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.

WHAT SHADE OF EYEBROW LOOKS BEST ON YOU?

Blue shampoo will not have much effect on your gray roots except to perhaps make them look a little brighter against your dyed ends. If you overuse blue shampoo, however, your gray roots might take on a bluish tint.
