Clairol Shimmer Lights Purple Shampoo is the classic go-to for blondes, silver strands, or bleached hair that needs a quick tone reset. If your blonde is leaning yellow and you’re dreaming of cool, clean vibes, this violet warrior steps in and shines. 🌈 Tone-Correcting Formula That Shows Up: Packed with deep purple pigments, it neutralizes brass and brings back that salon-fresh ash tone. Great for platinum, balayage, or gray hair—especially between toning sessions. 🧴 Cleans & Brightens Without Stripping: While it’s technically a shampoo, it cleans gently and gives a subtle refresh. Best when used sparingly—once or twice a week—to keep brass at bay without drying out strands. 💜 Signature Grape Scent & Retro Glam Bottle: The scent is bold—like grape soda meets salon chic. And the packaging? Iconic purple that’s instantly recognizable in any shower caddy. 🕐 Quick Results That Can Go Too Far: Leave it on too long and you might get lavender tinges—so monitor your timing. 2–5 minutes usually does the trick for a soft, toned refresh without turning your hair violet. 💡 Works Best with a Moisturizing Conditioner: Since purple shampoo can be a tad drying, follow with a hydrating mask or conditioner to lock in shine and softness. 🌟 Final Blonde Boost: If your blonde’s feeling brassy and needs a tone rescue, Clairol Shimmer Lights Purple Shampoo delivers violet magic in a bottle. It’s bold, effective, and always ready to bring your blonde back to brilliance.

Works well! I'm a natural brunette. I've been coloring my hair blonde for years. I haven't colored my hair in months until recently. So, I had a decent amount of brunette back. I don't bleach my hair due it making my hair dry and brittle. I bought blonde hair dye and purchased this mask to use as a toner. I'm glad I did. After coloring my brunette hair blonde, as expected my hair was orange (brass) I used this mask immediately after coloring, I no longer have any brass in my hair After ONE use! It does exactly what it says it does. I will be purchasing this every time I color my hair. The directions say to leave it in for 5 minutes. I am happy with the results. I highly recommend this. Especially if you're like me and don't want to use harsh bleach in your hair. I should have took before and after pictures. I was very surprised it worked so well. I have tried other products and got not so good results. This will definitely be my go to product from now on.... I love that it made my hair feel so soft and hydrated afterwards as well. I usually have tangles even after using most conditioners, it wasn't tangled at all after using this. It has a mild scent but a pleasant one. Update.. I have used this for a second time and my hair is even lighter. (Which was what I wanted) I am now purchasing the bigger bottle for future use.

I tried to go too blonde and got orange hair. This packet helped tone it a bit, though it didn't 100% fix the issue. I did leave it on for 15 minutes, since I have dense hair that doesn't absorb product easily. I didn't have any purple tint. I wiped drips up immediately and it didn't stain my shower, so that's a big plus. I'll probably get this again the next time I color my hair.

I got this because I dyed my hair more blonde than it already is and I needed to get that orange tone out of my hair. This brand and this type of shampoo never fails me. It is so easy to use, the qualities is amazing. it makes my hair feel so healthy and it shines. It definitely helps the moisture level, which makes me feel so much better about my hair breaking and things like that. But most of all it does what it’s supposed to do and it brings out the blonde in my hair and not the orange.

Does the job in terms of toning brassy, bleached hair but at the same time it dries it out even more so that’s why I took two stars off. Id buy it again as it does the toning job but I recommend combining it with a nourishing hair mask if you already have damaged, dry hair.

Super easy to use with high result! I left my hair color on too long and had roots that were bleached out to ginger. I put this all over for literaly 6 minutes, rinsed it out and all the brassiness gone. VERY suprised how well it worked.

You guys, this mask is amazing!! I just touched up my light brown roots I had with Revlon Color Silk ultra light natural blonde. Used the Shimmer Lights shampoo and conditioner, left each on for 3 minutes. Still had the slightest yellow tint and used this mask as suggested for 5 minutes, combed it through from root to ends while my hair was damp. Rinsed out, dried it and finished with a drop of Moroccan Oil on the ends. I'm so excited with my results, and thoroughly impressed with both the Revlon Color Silk brand and the Shimmer Lights products. There's some strawberry blonde lowlights, but I don't mind. All of these together left my hair so soft, lovely fragrance and much healthier than when I went to the salon. This can definitely save you money if used correctly!

I colour my hair blonde and my regular stylist was out. The other one didn't use the correct color and my hair went very brassy. This product saved my hair and brought it back to a reasonable colour. Works perfectly

Dark color

Works great and smells awesome!

What's not to like. Gentle scent, nice and dark purple and easy on the scalp. Finishing with this is fantastic for drier and brittle hair. Put it on when hair is nice and warm. Let it work. Rinse with warmer water but only half rinse. That warmer water allows the hydrating components to enter your hair better. Then, rinse finally. Seal with cooler water if you can. This product works excellent for non professional... professional toning. Continued use is optimal. Excellent non-invasive brassy "aid".

Absolutely amazing product! It helps if you want to get rid of orange tone.
