Leaves My Hair Platinum :)
It's my first time having blonde highlights and this purple shampoo has kept the yellow tones out of my hair. :) I'm addicted to keeping my hair platinum blonde. I'll let it get to champagne blonde at the most. But unfortunately my colorist didn't not bleach my bangs as long as the rest of my hair,...

Hair loss!
I loved this product before the change. So I bought it again. I used it 1 time, again 1 time, and 2 days after while brushing my hair in the shower I noticed so much hair loss!

Does Not Clean!
Hair Type Wavy Hair
Bought this brand to try since they were out of my normal brand and this was a NO! My hair would smell musty only 2 days after washing. I have been washing my hair only once a week for yearsssss now with no issue since my hair is often colored and I do a double wash. This is not actually cleaning your scalp and hair!!!!! Switched back to my normal brand and my hair is back to smelling great.
Joico Color Balance Purple Shampoo
I bought the small size to make sure it was a product I was pleased with. I am so pleased I bought the large bottle. It makes the gray parts of my hair shine. I use it every 2 weeks so not to over-saturate my strands with the purple dye. Highly recommend for gray, salt & pepper gray hair!!!!
ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BUY
Bro. I genuinely don't know how they get away with selling this. I used once and it absolutely wrecked my hair. It did nothing for the brassiness/yellow in my highlights, and furthermore, sucked the life right out of my head. I rarely leave any kind of review. Furious.
I would buy this again
Love the product
love this shampoo!
got rid of the brassy tones almost immediately! I will definitely continue using this shampoo!
