Green Shampoo?

If the purple shampoos are the holy grail for the blondes, green shampoos are the new go-to for brunettes. It’s become more and more popular to add this secret weapon, and we want to share with you why it was created and geared towards brunette hair. Adding a green shampoo to your brunette hair will add a lasting freshness to your color, and help increase the longevity of your color. 

Green Shampoo, just like purple shampoo, refers to the color of the product and its neutralizing capabilities, and is essentially an at-home, in-shower toner. It works to offset the pesky red undertones that show through no matter what we do.  These unwelcomed tones can be a result or many things such as heat styling, sun exposure, harsh water exposure, or the most common culprit, natural melanin in your hair that’s well, red. 

Green shampoos work best on tones that lean towards the deeper end of the color spectrum. With light brown hair, it’s better to use a blue shampoo, as it works to reduce brassiness/orange tones. Red undertones exist in deeper brown hair, so green shampoo is most ideal if your hair falls anywhere in the medium to deep shades of brown. 

The world of hair care is ever changing with education and tips on how to properly care for our hair. We love that there are products specifically designed for every hair type and color, and it isn’t a one-size-fits-all world.
