Are you having a dark hair tone naturally but love playing with blonde tones as they suit you the best? For dark tone people, you have to first go through the process of bleaching your hair only then can you apply a lighter or brighter tone on it, otherwise the colors won’t show up. After bleaching your hair, the professionals apply the blonde color that you love. If you already have gone through this process, you must be aware that the blonde hair starts giving off an unwanted yellow, brassy tone after some days or months depending upon the color of your hair and your environment or climate affecting it. This process where the blonde hair gets the yellow or brassy tone is called overtoning hair.  Overtoning hair needs to be fixed with the different shampoos or toners to get the perfectly toned hair that gives a salon-like finish to them. Such toning shampoo makes your hair feel hydrated, replenished, and perfectly clean, seeming exactly the way you walked out of the salon with freshly done hair. 

The shampoos used for treating the overtoning are also called blonde shampoo. To keep your blonde tone intact, it takes time, money, and a commitment to keeping and maintaining the tones just the way you left your hair while walking out of the salon. Although, the salons provide a blonde toning service at the salon, yet it is up to us to keep the hair color maintained with the help of blonde shampoo, also called violet or purple shampoo. The pigments present in these shampoos keep the undertones at bay. The reasons one shall buy blonde shampoo is because they are sulphate and paraben-free, made up of organic ingredients, cruelty-free, and is color-safe. 

To diagnose whether you need a blonde shampoo or re-treatment is when the blonde hair feels that slight brassiness, or an over toned silver effect. The purple shampoo is used as it cancels out the effect of yellow, as on the color wheel chart purple is seen on the opposite side of the yellow shade. Thus, it eliminates the unwanted yellow colors from the hair leaving them feeling as fresh as new. However, the blonde shampoo doesn’t replace the regular shampoo, no matter what you have to keep using your regular shampoo and maybe once a week wash your hair with the toning shampoo.
