QuoteReplyTopic: MY HAIR TURNED PURPLE Posted: March 03 2006 at 5:27pm
I have blonde hair and to me it was looking YELLOW so I asked the lady at Sallys and she recommended the shimmer lights purple shampoo. I bought the generic kind in the black and white bottle. I used it this morning and it toned it down but I also have purple spots and the ends are kind of grey and purple. How do I get rid of the purple?? Help!!

I generally dont use clarifying shampoos, but I know that Biosilk makes one, also Nexxus, Rusk, ION, Got2b or alot of other salon brands. And a few drugstore/Walmart brands like Pantene, Sauve, Tresemme all make a clarifying shampoo. Good old Prell, or dawn dishsoap will strip about ANYTHING out of hair! ( Condition really well afterwards!)
most likely it will wash out in a couple of washes- try using dishwashing detergent it should move it off- only do on the area u want it to wash the purple off- u prob just left it on a few seconds to long. it happens to the best of us.

I ended up using the Pantene clarifying shampoo and it worked really well. I looked for Prell and could not find it. Also, what would you suggest to tone down the yellow in the future???
This has happened to me a few times, too. In the future, I would
recommend seriously diluting the Shimmer Lights before you put it on
your head with another shampoo (it's highly pigmented stuff, so if you
add 1 part SL to 3 parts clear shampoo, you'll still have a pretty
purple mixture). Then, don't leave it on too long, and only use it once
a week (at most).
