- Deep hydration with hyaluronic acid — no dryness
- Antioxidant protection with edelweiss flower extract

How it works
Violet pigments in the formula deposit directly onto the hair shaft, counteracting the yellow and orange tones that develop in blonde and lightened hair over time. The longer you leave it, the cooler the result — start with 2–3 minutes and adjust based on your desired tone. Hyaluronic acid ensures hair stays hydrated and soft, not stripped, even with regular use.
Key Ingredients
- Violet Pigments — deposit directly onto the hair shaft to neutralise brassiness and restore cool blonde tones instantly

- Edelweiss Flower Extract — antioxidant protection against environmental damage and colour fade
How to Use
Use 1–3 times per week depending on how quickly brassiness develops.
- Wet hair thoroughly and apply a generous amount to scalp and lengths
- Lather and leave for 2–5 minutes — the longer you leave it, the cooler the result

Frequently Asked Questions
What does purple shampoo do?
Purple shampoo deposits violet pigments onto blonde, lightened or grey hair to neutralise yellow and brassy tones. The purple and yellow are opposite on the colour wheel, so they cancel each other out — leaving hair cooler and brighter.
How often should I use purple shampoo?
1–3 times per week depending on how quickly your colour goes brassy. Start with once a week and increase if needed. Daily use is safe with this formula thanks to the hyaluronic acid which prevents dryness.
Can I use purple shampoo on grey or silver hair?
Yes — it works equally well on natural grey, silver and white hair to remove yellow tones and restore brightness.
How long do I leave purple shampoo on?
2–5 minutes for regular toning. Up to 10 minutes for more intense brassiness. The longer you leave it, the cooler and more violet the result — start short and build up to find your ideal tone.
Is Kérastase the best purple shampoo for blonde hair?
Kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Ultra-Violet is consistently rated among the best purple shampoos globally for its combination of effective toning and hydration — most purple shampoos dry hair out, this one doesn't.
