Anti-yellow — the Anti-Yellow line

Purple pigment neutralises yellow — colour physics, not magic.

In short

Brassiness in blonde, highlighted and grey hair is removed by purple pigment, which sits opposite yellow on the colour wheel. Use Anti-Yellow toning shampoo 1–2 times a week and leave it on for 3–5 minutes; on other days use a regular sulfate-free shampoo.

Brassiness in bleached and grey hair is neutralised optically by purple pigment. The Anti-Yellow line — toning shampoo, balm and mask — keeps a cool tone at home between salon visits.

How to use purple shampoo

Apply to wet hair, lather and leave for 3–5 minutes, then rinse. Leave it too long and you may get a lilac tint; it washes out in 1–2 washes with a regular shampoo.
