Why this classic remains a favorite
Clairol Shimmer Lights is one of the most iconic purple shampoos on the market. Its intense violet formula is specifically designed to counteract brassy and yellow tones in blonde and silver hair. You will notice a visibly cooler tone after just one wash. It is a no-nonsense product that simply gets the job done.
Use with moderation for best results
Because this shampoo has a strong toning and cleansing action, it can strip moisture more quickly than a regular hydrating shampoo. We recommend not using it daily, but rather alternating it with a moisturizing shampoo and always following up with a rich conditioner or hair mask.
Frequently asked questions
How long should I leave the shampoo in?
For a light refresh, a few minutes is enough. If you have stubborn brassy tones, leave it on for 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing thoroughly.
Will this shampoo turn my hair purple?
If you have very porous or ultra-light blonde hair and leave it on too long, it may leave a temporary lavender tint. This will wash out during your next regular shampoo.
