naissantIrish Copper Hair Toning Shampoo | Color Depositing | Refresh & Neutralize Brassy Tones | Paraben, Ammonia & Sulfate Free | Pro-Vitamin B5, Olive Oil & Honey (Cobrizo) 10.1 Fl Oz

This product was recommended to me by a salon colorist. The way you get this (and other purple shampoos to work properly) is to first wet hair, take sliced lemons & squeeze juice into hair (brassy areas). This prepares the hair to open up to receive & "take" the shampoo properly. Read the directions & leave it in for the amount of time indicated. If you have lots of brass you may leave it in a bit longer on those areas but be careful if you're platinum blonde & only have brassy roots. Use ot where you NEED it. If you don't have a lot of brass or yellow you may not need as long. Also be aware that regular use of the product will create the best results. So even if you don't see ALL of your brass go away the first time that doesn't mean the product doesn't work. My colorist (who is my relative & wasn't selling this item) recommended using this about twice a week. I was able to see results after the first use of this product using the lemon juice technique. I DO follow up with this same brand's mask (which is recommended & is also purple). My hair is NOT left with a purple tint of any kind. It has not stained towels or anything in my bathroom. My hair doesn't feel damaged or brittle or dried out. It feels nice & soft. No yucky smell either. Smells nice.I will definitely continue to use this product! It is a bit pricey but I feel like it's absolutely worth it! I have learned in matters of the hair... you get what you pay for. I have tried tons of purple shampoos & this has been hands down THE BEST!For reference: I have naturally light brown/dirty blonde hair. I keep it a medium or light ash blonde (I switch it up). In between colorings I do a few highlights AT HOME to stretch out how often I completely bleach/color. I feel like it's better on my hair that way. I am Scottish/Irish descent so I naturally pull "golden" when I lighten my hair. I have red heads in my family. So when I use even light ash colors (I always use cool colors not warm) I still get a brassy or yellow tones. It will especially show a little while after coloring/bleaching.I believe this is a fantastic maintenance shampoo & really fixes it! I actually washed my hair over the side of my tub & looked in my bathroom mirror to apply the shampoo the first time to BE SURE I was hitting the brassy spots really good. I could literally see those tones change in a few minutes while looking in the mirror. I did not go over the amount of time in the directions on the bottle. I have no idea if this would work for other hair colors. I do know it works for blondes! I hope this helps!

Update February 2017: I have stopped bleaching my hair and discovered I am nearly totally white at least on top. I started using this shampoo and conditioner exclusively and love it. The conditioner is fantastic. I was formerly using Redken Color Extend and tried it again the other day but it really dried my hair out. I only shampoo and condition every 4 to 5 days and would not recommend using the Naissant every day. I only leave it in for a couple of minutes at most. The shampoo doesn't lather a lot but lather is not necessary for cleaning your hair. If you only get the shampoo get another good conditioner since the shampoo is drying, however, you could just use the conditioner if cost is a concern. I get compliments on the color of my hair, it's very bright and shiny. Also I don't bother with the lemon anymore.Older part of review: I bleach my own hair with a combination neutral and ash blondes only going over my roots as they grow out so the end color eventually looks brassy since I won't re-bleach it. When I saw this product on YT And read mostly positive reviews on amazon I decided I had to try it. I used it this morning preparing my hair with lemon juice for two minutes. I left the shampoo on for approximately 5 minutes and then the treatment for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. The shampoo did make my hair feel dry but the masque softened it so it feels very silky. I am very happy with the results. My hair looks ashy/beigy and much brighter which is exactly what I wanted. Another reviewer said it makes her gray/white natural hair look good so I'm hoping as my hair grows out I can go longer between coloring or possibly not have to color at all. Also I am waiting to see how it makes my dark brown look since the back of my hair is salt and pepper. I am very happy with this product. As for negative reviews all products don't work the same for everyone.... we are all different so what works for one won't necessarily work for the next person. All you can do is take a chance unless there is somewhere you can get your hands on samples of this shampoo.

Excellent product. I love it

I am always changing my hair color, but for the most part it is pretty dark. About 6 months ago I decided to do a medium brown to blonde balayage/ombre at my salon with the colorist I have used for years. I wanted my hair to be ashy and more cool tones but I knew it would turn brassy from lifting it. My colorist did wonders on my hair but it was still more golden and brassy than I had wanted. I did a lot of research on a silver/purple shampoo to use and decided to order this one. It was delivered today and I just used it for the first time. I'm not big on writing lengthy reviews but it was hard for me to find a product review coming from those with darker hair and not bleach blonde. I showered and left the shampoo on my hair for about 3-5 minutes. In one shampoo/and conditioner treatment I had seen a noticeable change in the tone of my hair. Previously, I had used Goldwell Anti-Brassiness Purple Shampoo and it did a good job of maintaining my current color but I did not see any change to the tone really. I was shocked when this made a difference immediately. My hair went from golden copper/yellow tones to a pretty ashy oatmeal color. The shampoo and conditioning treatment are both very pigmented. The shampoo is basically a black gel color and the treatment is more of a very deep blue violet cream. If you're looking to make a difference and keep your hair toned, this is a great product! Being that I have medium brown to dark blonde hair, I suggest those with lighter blonde hair only leave it on for a typical shampoo or a minute or two otherwise you might start to see gray tones. Now that I know the reviews for this brand were absolutely true, I am going to look into purchasing their purple shampoo as well which might give off less gray-toned results.

Merci beaucoup. Jaime boucoup cet produit et arrive tres rápide.

Très bon produit de qualitéColoré les cheveux avec douceurParfum sympa ,Pas de colorant chimique , estompe avec les lavagesCela permet de magnifier et matifier une colorationPour moi le blond blanc qui jaunis, donc parfait dans mon cas ..

Used the shampoo and conditioner and absolutely loved it. Most of the purple shampoos makes my hair so dry this it feels like straw. Left both shampoo & conditioner on for 10 min. Loved the result. No purple tones at all just a nice platinum blonde colour. Too bad it washes out so quickly. I learned a trick from YouTube. Apply the shampoo to dry hair. I let it sit on my head for 10 minutes then lathered and rinsed it out. It might not work for everyone but it did for me. I found that when I had wet hair and applied the shampoo the result was less intense. The downside to this though is that you use a lot more shampoo unfortunately. I do this about every 2 weeks because I don't want purple hair.

Ottimo shampoo viola per eliminare i riflessi oro/ arancioni dei capelli biondi decolorati e non. Lo shampoo ha un buonissimo profumo e anche se non fa molta schiuma riesce a detergere i capelli.

Das Shampoo erzielt bei meinen blonden Strähnen nach kürzester Einwirkzeit (ca. 2-3 min.) hervorragende Ergebnisse.Kein Gelbstich ist mehr im Haar, man muss sogar fast schon aufpassen, dass die Haare nicht einen Violettstich bekommen.Zudem riecht es meiner Meinung nach sehr gut!Ich empfehle allerdings- wie bei jedem Silbershampoo- im Anschluss einen guten Conditioner zu verwenden, da die Haare sonst eher zu trocken sind!
