          | My  colorist just suggested that I use a shampoo by Aveda called Blue Malva to counteract brassiness.  She says that it is supposed to neutralize brassy tones.  Do these shampoos really work?

          | Yes, they do, but you`ll get the biggest effect if your hair is blond or light brown. The change will be subtle. Another good product to try is Clairol Complements Shampoo, which comes in a variety of shades and is very gentle. Aura also makes an Aveda-like color enhancer if you can`t afford Blue Malva. Good luck!

          | Lyris, my hair is bleached blonde. Actually I get it foiled.   I am a natural level 4 (just plain old brown).  I am bleached to a level 9 or 10.  Because my hair is much darker naturally, I have problems with a little brassiness.  Does it just work on naturally blond hair or will it also work on bleached blond?

          | Hi Raquel! Yes, the shampoos will work to counteract brassiness on both natural and bleached blond hair. Just remember the change will be subtle, but since you said you`ve only got a little brassiness the shampoo might be just what you need. Hope this helps a bit.

          | Try Stay Blonde Revitalizing Glosser by Hask.  It has done wonders with my wife`s hair.  This is put in after you shampoo and left in.   It makes hair softer also.
