Are the products actually purple?
Yes. Blue-violet. The shampoo being darker than the conditioner.
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. It is not a hair-coloring or bleaching product that can change the color of your hair from dark to lighter tones. It only helps remove brassiness or yellowish hue from light-colored hair and highlights.
Will this make my hair colored purple?
No. While the shampoo and conditioner have a purple pigment, it does not turn your hair purple like a hair dye. Just make sure to rinse off the products well every time you use them. If you have medium color hair, you won’t see any change except that any yellow undertones will be countered. Dark hair will be unchanged.
How often should I use this shampoo and conditioner?
We know plenty of users that use it twice a week and we know of plenty others that use it once a month, and this is a good range. It's safe for use frequently and is great once a week or twice a month - it's all up to you. Remember if you use it too often (daily) it can turn your hair purple, so it's not recommended to use it as a daily shampoo.
Can I use the shampoo even if my hair is not naturally blonde?
Yes. This purple shampoo works perfectly for both natural and chemically treated blonde hair. It helps get rid of yellowish undertones to help restore salon-fresh blonde hair.
Can this be used for hair that has been straightened, bleached, or permed?
Yes. The Shiny Leaf Purple Shampoo and Conditioner is super gentle that it does not do any harm to chemically treated hair. It is also rich in natural plant extracts and nourishing oils that help repair and strengthen strands for continues growth of healthy-looking hair.
Is it sulfate-free?
Yes. Our Ultimate Blonde Purple Shampoo and Conditioner do not contain any sulfates. They are also paraben-free and silicone-free so they are suitable for curly hair.
I have ombre blonde at the bottom of my hair and my roots are my naturally dark hair color. Will the purple shampoo do anything to my dark hair color?
No. Dark hair will remain unchanged in terms of color. But you will notice the difference in terms of the other benefits of the shampoo. It is made with hair-nourishing natural ingredients, so hair feels stronger, smoother, and healthier.
I have really fine hair. Will the conditioner weigh my hair down?
The Shiny Leaf Purple Conditioner has a creamy yet lightweight formula that rinses off easily, so it does not leave residues that can weigh your hair down. After applying the conditioner, leave it for 2-3 minutes to allow your hair to soak up the conditioner’s nourishing benefits. Then rinse off with cool water.
Are these products animal-tested?
No. All Shiny Leaf products are made cruelty-free. We don’t test on animals.
Is it true that purple shampoo has an unpleasant smell? How bad is it?
The Shiny Leaf Purple Shampoo doesn’t smell bad at all. It does not contain any chemical-based ingredients that have foul smell. Your hair smells fragrant and fresh from the shower after using it.
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. If you have color-treated hair, you can let it stay for a bit longer - 5-6 minutes should do the trick. For silver / platinum hair you can leave it for 15-20 minutes. The purple conditioner should follow if you want to soften your hair and make it more manageable, and to increase the tone's intensity. When using the conditioner, leave it for 2-3 minutes to let your hair soak up on the conditioner’s hair-moisturizing benefits.
If I use these products, will it damage my hair?
No. It’s actually the other way around. These purple products are rich in natural extracts and amino acids that help strengthen, repair, and protect hair from further damage.
What’s the difference between the purple set and the other Shiny Leaf shampoo and conditioner sets?
All Shiny Leaf hair care products are generally great for your hair care routine. We offer various lines of shampoos and conditioners for different hair issues such as hair loss, hair growth, and scalp problems. The Purple Shampoo and Conditioner line is specifically designed for all shades of blonde hair and other light-colored or highlighted hair.
Will this add a subtle purple tone to my hair if it isn’t already colored?
No. These products are used to keep dull yellow color out of blonde, bleached, highlighted, or any light-colored hair, not as a dye. To prevent any unwanted purple tint left on your hair, make sure to rinse well with water every time you use the products.
I have highlights. If I use it, will this lighten the rest of my hair as well?
No. This product does not contain bleaching ingredients that can lighten naturally dark hair.
Works well for my color-treated platinum blonde hair. Well recommended to all blondies!
