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!! ------------- Andrea :) |

| wash it a few times. The purple shampoo is only a temporary pigment that will wash away. A good clarifying shampoo might be a good choice! |

| 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!) |

it it on your won hair or extension hair? 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.

a clarifying shampoo that will strip out everything is suave. it's like 90 cents
for 16 ounces. |

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??? ------------- Andrea :) |

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). xoxox ------------- http://www.beautyaddictmag.com - www.beautyaddictmag.com |
