Shimmer Lights Purple Shampoo

I have faithfully used this shampoo along with its counterpart conditioner (Clairol Shimmer Lights Blonde Toning Conditioner) for the past several years. I also use the Clairol Shimmer Lights Blonde Toning Mask, but I only use it once every 2-3 weeks, as overuse will leave a purple tint on blonde strands. This shampoo tones beautifully, and leaves a very natural blonde shade once your hair is dry. I do leave the shampoo on my hair, sudsed up, for approximately 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing until the water runs clear. I also leave the conditioner in my hair for approximately five minutes. By doing this, it helps tone the hair and remove all the brassiness from your locks. It lathers beautifully and cleans well. I will never switch brands of shampoo. It is slightly fragrant, but not overly, and has a very pleasant scent. I am subscribed to this product monthly, although that’s really overdoing it. I often skip orders because the shampoo will last for quite a while; a little goes a long way. For reference, I am naturally a medium shade brunette, but I add blonde highlights to my hair every 5-6 weeks. If you are a blonde or silver fox in search of your perfect hair shade and who wants to fight brassiness, give this shampoo a try. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

i ordered this purple shampoo to help me tone my 613 wig! it definitely takes the barbie yellow color out. just dont leave it in for too long because i didnt even have it in for 5 mins and it looked like almost nearly grey 😂 but after i used pink dye water color method it turned into the most pretty pastel pink that i have ever seen on hair! very easy to use, worth the money. not super thick consistency but make sure you dont get clumps stuck in ur hair

Highly recommend for blonde wigs to omit shine .. had a great scent keep wig soft and moist and condition when through ..very pigmented so a little goes a long way

this has been such an amazing product for me! I recently dyed my hair blonde and did not want to spend the hundreds to go back to lighten it more. I’ve been using this for over a week now and it’s drastically changed my hair! It took all the orange and yellow tint out!

Updated- (still have 3/4 of a bottle) So I used it once more about 4/5 days after first use. It appeared to turn my silver/grey darker and more brown. After a lot of research and a phone call to the company I have discovered a few things... I either used too much in the shower or I used it more frequently than needed. I was told if brown happens like described above, use once a week or every other week OR use less product. I probably did use too much honestly. I just had about 8" cut off my hair and I'm still adjusting to using less shampoo and conditioner, so I clearly overdid it. I was also told it's just " purple coloring build up" and if I stop using it for about two weeks the build up should wash away by then. I've stopped using it and can clearly see it slowly starting to fade away. So if you run into this issue know this is why and I just saved you hours on hold looking for answers! I'm also getting use to the smell now so it's a lot less abrasive to me as it was at first. Still not floral refreshing shampoo smell but nowhere near as chemically to me now. Going forward I'm going to keep using this product but a lot less and only once a week. *Older review* Would be 5 stars but the smell is not great. Kind of harsh and not refreshing. My gut says take away two stars for smell but I'm being nice. I decided to try this because I'm old. I'm going grey/silver in a hardcore way and I'm sick of coloring/damaging my hair in a futile exercise to deny my actual age. I fold. Screw it, I'm gonna embrace my age and wear my grey like the earned badge in life it is. I chose this product because it's the most sane, affordable price compared to everything else I looked at. Realistically I am not going to spend 20 to $60 a month on purple shampoo, so this was the way to go for me. Fact vs opinion - I am not a fan of the smell. It's not a chemically smell, but it is not fresh and an expected shampoo smell. i find the scent strong and slightly harsh. Even my conditioners and oils, etc can't tone the smell down. It's thick and creamy, bright purple and a little goes a really long way. It lathers up really good like a decent shampoo. The color was alarming to me as I half expected to dye my shower walls purple. I'm use to hair dye though so the bright purple color causes a psychological learning curve for me. But absolutely no issues. I left it in while showering for 5 minutes, rinsed and then conditioned. Rinsed out super easy like normal shampoo. It does make your hair so incredibly soft! That's a huge plus for me! Is it enough to get over the almost embarrassing 'you've done something' to your hair smell? Yeah, probably. I have super dry curly hair that's got a constant level of thirst that I can't quench. This seems to provided really great moisture that's impressive. Actually really impressive. My hair is so soft after using this as well. Effect- after one use only The grey/silver color is much softer looking if that makes sense. I guess it toned down the brassiness but I can't really tell yet. My hair is silver/grey at roots. I stopped coloring my hair about 4 months ago so the rest of my hair is a light/med brown that has some brass in it. I know it did something, I'm just not really sure what it was yet. I'm going to run out the clock on this one time use and see how long it works before I need to do it again as I never planned on using purple shampoo every time I wash my hair. I'll update my review then on the longevity on this effect and how long the bottle will last. (Bought the 8oz) Cost vs effect- worth it.

I wish I had a picture of the before and after! My hair was yellow and now it’s like a white blonde again. This stuff works! The smell: it’s like a woodsy, hippie shop smell. I love it. If you want it to smell like the beach or anything like that then it’s not for you though with it working so well you may wanna put up with the hippie smell. Conditioner is wonderful also!

This is probably the best purple shampoo I've ever used. I had lots of brassiness in my blonde highlights and this shampoo took all the brassiness away. I honestly couldn't believe it. It left my hair soft and a beautiful ash blonde, which was my goal! I will absolutely buy this product again!

one shampoo takes the yellow out of my grey hair. Very low price. great product.
