This shampoo claims to 'lightly tone, refresh and restore your
blonde hair to salon beautiful colour'. It's ingredients include a Pro-Blonde
complex of panthenol, chamomile and morina seed extract; more commonly kniwn as
Miracle tree (which claims to keep hair squeaky clean and encourages natural
shine to glow). It's also meant to protect your hair from fade caused by
styling, sunlight and damage caused by UV rays.
Last January
(2011) whilst in the hair dressers, I made a very impulsive, spontaneous
decision to dye my hair ginger - and by ginger I mean orange ginger. I think I
posted a picture maybe? Anywho, after that I continuously dyed my hair
different shades of ginger/ red... As summer approached, I knew I had to
consider going back blonde. I was going to Gran Canaria with my boyfriend, even
when there was no sun in sight, my hair faded like crazy so I knew that as soon
as sun was involved, it would be disasterous, plus I tan quite easily - meaning
I'd be brown with orangey/ yellow hair. Not attractive.
Anyway, I went
back blonde, and have since gone blonder each time I visit the hair dressers.
However, because my hair was abused so often with ginger/ auburn/ red dyes, it
tends to get quite brassy, quite quickly.
This is where this
product comes in. The first time I used it, I was quite scared after I'd
dispensed the product into my hand. It is a very dark purple. I was wary about
it dying my hair, rather than just toning it. However, I was so happy with the
results. The brassiness of my hair was gone after just one wash. It made my hair
a lot lighter, more white even.
After the second time of using it, I noticed a purple tint to my
hair. Quite a few people said that my hair looked pink/ purple. I instantly
changed my mind on the product (despite quite liking the lilac-y shade it left
in my hair - it cannot be good for your hair, can it?). However, once I got home, I read the bottle and it actually tells
you not to use it every time you wash your hair because of the toning agent. *Schoolboy error, Hayley. Always read the label*. Now, I use it every two
to three times I wash my hair, and I must admit I absolutely love this product.

Being only £6.49, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who
suffers with brassy blonde hair. You can buy it here at Boots and it’s often on
offer 3 for 2 or 2 for £10.
P.s. I know there’s cheaper alternatives out there but my housemate has
tried quite a few and don’t find they work very well. Plus, quick little tip,
apparently the darker the purple, the better the results ;)
