A blue-based toning shampoo that neutralises yellow AND orange brassy tones in bleached blonde and natural grey hair. Lightweight, detangling, and with built-in UV protection — the salon answer to purple shampoo.

What it does

Three jobs. One bottle.

Blue base > purple

Purple only fixes yellow. Blue fixes yellow AND orange brassiness — the actual problem on bleached hair.

Lightweight, daily-able

Doesn't weigh hair down or strip moisture. You can use it 1-2x a week without dryness or stripped-out feel.

Built-in UV protection

UV filters and citric acid — guards your colour from sun fade and seals the cuticle for shine.

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

Apply to wet hair

Lather and work through to ends. Make sure every strand is coated.

02

Leave 3-5 minutes

Longer for stronger toning. Don't exceed 5 minutes — over-toning can leave hair looking dull.

03

Rinse, then condition

Follow with the Black Mask for deeper toning, or any conditioner for daily wash.

Tip: wear gloves. 1-2 times a week is the sweet spot — daily use can over-tone.

Questions, Answered

Before you buy.

Blue vs purple — what's the difference?
Purple only neutralises yellow tones. Blue cancels both yellow AND orange brassiness — which is what most bleached and grey hair actually shifts to over time. Stronger, more accurate toning.
How often should I use it?
1-2 times a week for maintenance. Daily use can over-tone, leaving hair looking dull. Use Daily Shampoo on the in-between days.
Will it stain my skin?
Yes — wear gloves. The blue base is potent. Rinses clean from tile and plastic without staining.
Should I pair with the Black Mask?
Optional but recommended for stronger results — wash with shampoo, then layer the mask. Or grab the duo for the discount and stronger combined toning.
Does it work on natural blonde?
Best on bleached, highlighted, or grey hair. Some effect on natural blonde, dramatic on processed.
