Who Should Use Aveda Purple Shampoo?

Louise Shailer • Feb 26, 2022

Did you know Aveda has a purple shampoo? Blondes all over the world rejoice! Now you can use this fully vegan and cruelty-free shampoo to ensure your hair remains bright even without visiting a hairstylist. If you want this shampoo or any other Aveda product, visit our Farnham and Fleet salons. Our stylists will be more than happy to help.


What is purple shampoo exactly?

Light-coloured hair is highly susceptible to discolouration. Life and age can have that effect, but heat styling, product build-up, pollution, swimming, and other factors can exacerbate it. This can be a real downer if you’re used to rocking a dazzling halo of golden tresses. Your hair loses brightness, and it goes from platinum to banana shade.


This is where Aveda purple shampoo comes in. This is a toning shampoo that uses the colour purple to directly brighten up the yellows and brass of dull blonde hair.


How does Aveda purple shampoo work?

You know what the colour wheel is? Great! Now, look at where yellow and purple are.

They’re at the opposite ends, right? That means they cancel each other out. If you tone yellowing hair with purple, the yellow shades will become cooler — returning them closer to platinum. Essentially, purple in this shampoo neutralises warm tones of yellow hair and hides brassy tones. All of that just because it’s the “opposite” colour.


Keep in mind that purple is an active ingredient, and the purple shade is dark, rich, and vibrant. You’re guaranteed the best results with Aveda’s blonde revival purple toning shampoo


.It will help you revive the look of salon-fresh blonde colour by neutralising brassy yellow tones and create an illuminated, beautiful blonde shine. Its sulfate cleanser-free formula gently cleanses without stripping hair


.Who is purple shampoo for


?This is simple. Purple shampoo is for people with light-coloured hair (natural, salon-made, or with highlights) who want to cancel out the yellow undertones of their hair.


 Now? What is light hair exactly? Well, this means exactly that, whether it’s platinum, ashy blonde, very light brown, white, pastel, silver or grey, etc. If you’re a full brunette, you won’t get anything out of this shampoo, but if you have blonde highlights, it can help you keep your highlights in check.


 The same is true for ombre hair. Purple shampoo allows you to target the blonde in your hair without affecting darker hair. That means you don’t have to worry about your regrowth or any darker hairs. 


 Purple shampoo is a must-have if you have bleached hair. With it, your hair won’t become dull a few weeks after leaving the salon and you won’t have to re-dye it


.If you’re not sure about your exact shade, visit
Salon Cabelo hair salon in Farnham or Fleet and get a consult.


Which Aveda purple shampoo should you use?


Aveda has two purple shampoos on offer.
Blue malva shampoo and blonde revival purple toning shampoo. As all Aveda products, they’re eco-friendly, cruelty-free, and come in recyclable packaging. They both have specialised conditioners you should use for maximum effectiveness.


Blue malva shampoo adds silvery brightness to grey hair and neutralises brassy tones in all shades. It’s blended with blue malva that's wild-crafted-sustainably gathered by hand in its natural habitat-to balance hair and scalp. Cornflower is known for its ability to intensify colour


.Blonde revival reawakens the blonde colour. Its violet rich pigments help neutralise unwanted yellow or brassy tones for a brighter, more illuminated result. A carefully crafted blend of nourishing, lightweight oils will hydrate and condition over-processed hair — returning incredible softness to each strand
