What is Purple Shampoo and How to Use It? A Definitive Solution Guide Against Yellowing
Contents
📌 Summary Answer
Purple shampoo is a professional color-protecting hair treatment that neutralizes unwanted bright yellow and orange tones that develop over time in blonde, platinum, highlighted, or gray hair, thanks to its contrasting purple pigments, giving the hair an ash and cool tone.
🎨 Color Theory and Neutralization Science: How Does Purple Pigment Work?
At Dr. Beauty laboratories, understanding the effectiveness of purple shampoo first requires knowing the principle of color wheel neutralization . Colors that are directly opposite each other on the color wheel are called "complementary colors" and they neutralize each other.
Purple is the complete opposite of yellow and orange. Here's why:
- Warm reflections (orange, bright yellow tones) remaining in hair after melanin lightening treatment (dyeing, highlights, ombre)
- Platinum hair that lightens and starts to yellow over time due to oxidation .
- Unwanted yellow reflections in gray or white hair
...when it comes into contact with purple pigments, color neutralization occurs, and the hair takes on ash blonde, cool light brown, or silver tones .
As Dr.Beauty experts, we guarantee that the purple pigments used in our formulations are micronized to provide optimum penetration depth into the hair cortex , and that the pH balance is maintained at a level that protects the hair fiber.

📖 Step-by-Step Usage Guide: How to Use Purple Shampoo?
To get the maximum results from Dr. Beauty Anti-Orange Shampoo, follow the professional usage protocol below:
🚿 Usage Steps:
- Wet your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water. Hot water can cause hair color to fade, so lukewarm water is preferable.
- Take a sufficient amount of Dr. Beauty Purple Shampoo into your palm. Approximately 2-3 pumps are enough for medium-length hair.
- Apply to your hair and massage until a rich lather forms. Focus especially on areas with more blonde highlights (typically the ends and highlight areas).
- Leave the foam on your hair for 3-5 minutes. This time is critical for the purple pigments to penetrate the hair cortex. For more intense neutralization, you can extend the waiting time up to 7 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water. Continue rinsing until the water runs clear.
- Optionally, apply your hair conditioner or mask. If your hair has been bleached, we recommend using a conditioning product that strengthens the bonds.
📅 Frequency of Use:
- Blonde/Platinum Hair: 1-2 times a week, alternating with your regular shampoo.
- Gray/White Hair: 2-3 times a week, depending on the intensity of the yellow highlights.
- Highlights/Ombre Hair: Once a week, only on lighter areas.
- Cool Brown Tones: Once a week to avoid warm undertones.
⚠️ Important Warning: Purple shampoo is not intended for daily use. Excessive use may cause unwanted purple/gray tones in the hair. It is ideal to use it 1-2 times a week as a balancing product.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
❔ Can purple shampoo be used daily?
No. Purple shampoo is a professional color-protecting product that should be used 1-2 times a week as a balancing agent , not for daily use. Daily use can lead to excessive purple pigment buildup in the hair and the formation of unwanted gray/purple tones. As Dr. Beauty experts, we recommend using purple shampoo a maximum of 2-3 times a week, replacing your regular shampoo.
❔ Does purple shampoo dry out hair?
Traditional purple shampoos can dry out hair due to their high pigment concentration. However, Dr. Beauty Anti-Yellowing Shampoo is specially formulated to eliminate this problem. Its moisturizing complex and hair-caring active ingredients neutralize color while simultaneously moisturizing and nourishing the hair. This way, your hair will achieve an ash tone while remaining healthy and shiny.
❔ Does purple shampoo work on light brown or brown hair?
Purple shampoo is primarily designed for light-toned hair (blonde, platinum, gray, white, cool brown). It won't have a noticeable effect on dark brown or auburn hair, as the yellow/orange highlights in these hair tones aren't light enough to be neutralized. However, it can be effective in removing warm highlights in lighter areas of auburn hair with cool tones or highlights/ombre . At Dr. Beauty, we recommend testing purple shampoo on a small area first to determine if your hair color is suitable for it.
