A world-first blue-based toning duo. Black Shampoo + Black Mask, both with citric acid, UV filters, and detangling polymers. Replaces purple shampoo with a stronger system that neutralises brassy yellow and orange at the cuticle — and extends salon ash toner for weeks.

What it does

Three jobs. One bottle.

Two-step toning power

Shampoo deposits, mask seals. Stronger ash result than any single toning product can deliver.

Replaces purple shampoo entirely

Blue base goes after orange brassy tones; purple only handles yellow. This is the complete fix, not a half-job.

Salon toner extender

Use weekly to keep the cool finish you walked out of the salon with — for weeks longer between visits.

What's Inside

The actives that actually do the work.

Premium ingredients — same standards as salon brands.

Blue-Base Pigment

Tones

Neutralises yellow and orange reflections at the cuticle. The salon answer to brassy blonde — cooler than purple, faster.

Citric Acid

pH-balances

Restores hair to its natural pH, sealing the cuticle for shine and protecting colour from washing out faster.

Coconut

Strengthens

Replaces moisture stripped during bleaching. Reduces breakage on processed hair while the toner deposits.

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein

Repairs

Small protein fragments slip into damaged areas of the strand, rebuilding the bond bleach broke down.

UV Filters

Protects

Shields the colour from fading and brassing in the sun — a real difference if you live anywhere this side of the equator.

Detangling Polymers

Smooths

Light enough to leave on without weighing hair down. Combs through smoothly, rinses clean.

How To Use

Three steps. That's it.

01

Wash with the Black Shampoo

Lather, leave on for 3-5 minutes to begin toning. Rinse thoroughly.

02

Apply the Black Mask, comb through

Coat mid-lengths to ends evenly. Comb through to distribute the pigment — patchy = patchy results.

03

Wait 5 minutes, rinse

Five for maintenance, up to 10 if you've been in chlorine or saltwater. Rinse cool.

Tip: wear gloves both times. Once a week for maintenance, twice if you're fighting noticeable brassiness.

"Best $69 I've spent on my hair. Switched from a $40 purple shampoo and the difference is night and day — actual cool ash, not lavender."

Questions, Answered

Before you buy.

Why blue-base instead of purple?
Purple only neutralises yellow. Bleached and grey hair brassiness is usually orange-toned, which blue handles better. The result is true ash, not pastel — and the colour holds longer.
How is it different from buying the products separately?
It's cheaper as a duo, and the shampoo and mask are formulated to layer for stronger results — shampoo deposits, mask seals.
Will it stain my skin?
Yes — wear gloves both times. The blue base is potent (that's what makes it work). Rinses clean from tile and plastic.
How often should I use it?
Once a week for maintenance. Twice a week if your blonde has shifted noticeably brassy or you've been in chlorine or saltwater.
Does it work on natural blonde hair?
Best results on bleached, highlighted, and grey hair. Some toning effect on natural blonde, but the dramatic results show on processed hair.
