I had my hair dyed light gray today. They bleached and dyed it. My hairdresser told me to use purple shampoo. I used the purple shampoo and I think I applied too much; now my hair is purple. Will it fade? Is this a temporary purple? How long does it last? Anyone who has experienced this, please advise.
Purple shampoo is truly purple as its name suggests. It prevents unwanted reflections in yellow and gray hair colors. When purple pigments combine with light-colored hair, they eliminate red and orange reflections, making the hair look ashier. I recommend using purple shampoo after dyeing.
If you have hair that was dyed a long time ago and has red reflections, you can still use it, but it may not show its effect after the first wash. If you use it regularly, the reflections in your hair will disappear. However, if you use it right after dyeing, you will also prevent future reflections. The shampoo should be thoroughly applied to the hair, no need to let it sit, and it should be rinsed off immediately after lathering.
What should I do if purple shampoo turned my hair purple? The question “How can I fix it if purple shampoo turned my hair purple?” is frequently asked. If you leave purple shampoo on for too long, it can create purple reflections in your hair. But don’t worry. After a few washes, your hair will turn to gray and then to yellow. The purple reflections will also disappear. If you’re saying “I used purple shampoo and my hair turned purple”, you need to wash your hair thoroughly with regular shampoo and water. You can also get rid of the purple color by washing with white bar soap.
