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.

* Deep conditioning is important after using blue shampoo because it can be VERY drying.  I recommend Joico K-Pak Intense Hydrator Treatment.

If your hair takes color well, do a strand test on dry hair.  If you rinse it out and end up with unwanted blue tones, you may be better off applying the shampoo to wet hair in the future.

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.
