Purple shampoo
Keep your platinum ash hue for longer by using a purple shampoo and conditioner set at least once a week. We recommend the Olaplex No. 4P Blonde Enhancer Toning Shampoo and the Neal & Wolf BLONDE Lighten & Brighten Purple Shampoo & Conditioner. Remember to keep the purple shampoo no longer thn 3 minutes to avoid that purple tinge. TOP TIP: Excessive use of purple shampoo leaves the hair feeling very dry. Consider alternating with a hydrating color saving shampoo also.
