5 blue shampoos for glossy, cool brunette colour
Time to tone up
Brunettes tend to get a little forgotten in the colour toning department. Blonde-specific purple shampoos fill floor-to-ceiling shelves at every supermarket/pharmacy/salon and yet next to nothing is provided for its darker alternative.
Sure, it might not cost as much, or take as long to achieve the perfect shade of chestnut or chocolate, but if you've got it, you're definitely going to want to hold onto it!
Toning is an essential step of any haircare routine (especially if your hair is hiding its natural shade behind a newer one gifted to you by your colourist), and a blue shampoo is perfect for the brunette-polishing job.
So if you want to banish brassiness (yes, it's a problem for brunettes, too), and give your colour a welcome glossy refresh, we've found the best blue shampoos for giving your brunette hair a new lease on life...
