Matrix | Dark Envy | Green-Toning Shampoo to Correct Red Undertones on Dark Brunette Hair, Total Results

Product Information

Toning shampoos work on a fully dyed mane, highlights, and even your natural color. The pigment sits on top of your strands, so for consistent results, you'll want to cycle one into your routine regularly. "My clients typically wash with a tinted shampoo once or twice a month to keep their color fresh and make their roots blend in better," says Bodt. Apply all over wet hair, let it sit for three to five minutes, then rinse and follow with conditioner. Blue shampoo is a gentle cleansing shampoo designed to help neutralize unwanted yellow and brassy tones in blonde and gray hair," explains celebrity stylist and HairBoss CEO Jamie Wiley. "It is formulated with blue pigments that help to counteract the yellow tones, leaving hair looking brighter and more vibrant." Who Should Use a Blue Shampoo? Korab walks us through the process. "Blue shampoo should be used on brunette hair that has been lightened or highlighted by applying blue tone pigment into the hair to help tone down brassy tones," she instructs. "For virgin hair or slightly processed hair, it is beneficial to use once a week to make hair appear healthier and shinier and keep brassy tones from coming through." Matrix Dark Envy Shampoo is a green color-depositing toning shampoo that enriches dark bases and neutralizes red undertones. Key Benefits: While there are many standout blue 'poos on the market, Matrix Brass Off shines above the rest. Formulated specifically for lightened brunette hair, this sulfate-free hair wash deposits blue-violet pigments to minimize brassiness. In other words, it creates a stunning cool-toned finish that brings out the intended effect of your color-treated hair. The vanilla-rose scent doesn't hurt either.

And yep, you heard that right. Toners aren’t just for blondes—any hair color can benefit from a toner. “I’m a dark brunette and my hair goes red in the sun, so I tend to tone my hair a cooler shade to help counteract those warm tones,” says O’Connor. The only thing hair toner can’t do is lighten your hair. Toner doesn’t have any bleach—a nonnegotiable for lightening your hair—so it’s best for bringing your color dow n (like, say, going from warm and brassy to cool and ashy). There’s more than one color of toning shampoo so we’re filling you in on three of the most popular toning shampoo options and when you should use them.I personally have only used it a few times with one of my brunette clients and can tell you it does make a subtle difference. What does green shampoo do for brunette hair colours?

Pro-tip: Once you’re done, you might want to do an extra rinse of your shower to make sure any and all pigment is down the drain and not staining your tiles. How often should you use a color-depositing shampoo?Just to be clear… you only want to be using a green shampoo if you are looking to get rid of the red in your hair. Whether they be red undertones that are showing up in dark hair color, or you colored your hair and it’s too red for your liking. Apply blue shampoo to wet hair in the shower. Lather it around, focusing on the color-treated sections, and allow it to sit for three to five minutes. Then rinse it out and use a conditioner like you normally would. Some blue shampoos call for using gloves to avoid getting the color on your skin, but most will wash clean from your hands when you rinse your hair.
