Will this make my dark hair blonde?
No. The purpose of purple shampoo and conditioner is to help tone and brighten hair that is already blonde.

How long should I leave the product on my head?
When using the shampoo, you may leave it on your hair for 3-5 minutes to allow its purple pigment do its “magic”. That's if you have natural blonde hair.
