Professional toning shampoos neutralize unwanted tones that develop over time in blonde, bleached, highlighted, or grey hair. Here you will find anti-yellow purple shampoos, silver shampoos, and anti-orange formulas for brunettes with highlights, used in salons to maintain the shade between appointments.
How toning shampoos work
The principle comes from the color wheel: a color neutralizes the shade opposite it. Purple pigments cancel out yellow reflections, while blue pigments cancel out orange or copper reflections. That is why a purple shampoo, such as Nook Magic Arganoil Blonde Story No Yellow, Matrix Total Results So Silver, or Schwarzkopf Professional Goodbye Yellow, is suitable for light blonde, platinum blonde, and white hair. For light brown hair with highlights that lean towards orange, choose an anti-orange formula, such as Alfaparf Semi di Lino Anti-Orange Low Shampoo or Matrix Total Results Brass Off.
How to choose a professional toning shampoo
- Look at the unwanted tone: light yellow requires purple, while orange or copper requires blue.
- For very light blonde or grey hair, silver shampoos are suitable, such as Schwarzkopf Professional Bonacure Color Freeze Silver or Puring Blonderesolve Silver.
- For bleached and dry hair, choose formulas with a conditioning effect, such as Sensus Illumyna Care Blonde or Alfaparf Semi di Lino Intense Anti-Yellow.
- For hair dyed in warm shades, you do not need a toning shampoo; use ranges for dyed hair.
How to use purple shampoo correctly
Use it once or twice a week, alternating with a conditioning shampoo. The action time matters: a few minutes for a light correction, longer for a cooler effect, according to the instructions on the packaging. On very porous hair, the pigment can take hold more strongly, so start with a short time. After washing, continue with a professional conditioner for detangling.
