Clairol Professional Purple Conditioner Shimmer Lights, 31.5 fl. oz — Neutralizes Brass & Adds Shine

Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights Purple Conditioner is a violet-toned, moisturizing conditioner designed to neutralize brassiness and refresh blonde, silver, gray, and highlighted hair.

This salon-favorite conditioner combines color-depositing purple pigments with emollients and moisturizers to soften, detangle, and brighten hair that has become dull or yellowed over time. Packaged in a large 31.5 fl. oz bottle (packaging may vary), it’s formulated to be used after a purple shampoo or on its own to maintain cooler, cleaner-looking tones between salon visits. The formula focuses on cosmetic toning and conditioning, not permanent color change.

How does this conditioner reduce brass and yellow tones?

The product uses violet/purple pigments to counteract warm yellow and orange undertones on the color wheel, visually canceling brassiness when applied evenly. It deposits temporary toning pigments while the conditioning ingredients smooth the hair surface for a more reflective, neutral appearance.

• Purple pigments counteract yellow and brassy hues.
• Moisturizers restore softness and shine for better color reflection.
• Works on natural blondes, bleached hair, silver, gray, and highlighted strands.

How should I use Shimmer Lights Purple Conditioner for best results?

Use after shampooing—either following Shimmer Lights purple shampoo or a regular cleanser. Apply from mid-lengths to ends, leave on for a short 1–5 minutes depending on desired toning intensity, then rinse thoroughly; frequency depends on how quickly your hair oxidizes or becomes brassy.

• Apply to clean, towel-dried hair for even pigment uptake.
• Leave 1–5 minutes for subtle to stronger toning effects.
• Adjust frequency (weekly or biweekly) based on results and hair porosity.

Is this conditioner safe for colored, highlighted, or gray hair?

Yes—this product is specifically formulated for chemically lightened, highlighted, and naturally gray or white hair that needs neutralizing and hydration. It does not permanently alter haircolor but deposits temporary purple pigments and adds conditioning agents to improve manageability.

• Safe for highlighted and bleached hair when used as directed.
• Adds conditioning without long-term color change.
• Helps maintain cooler tones on gray and silver hair.

What results can I expect and how often should I use it?

Expect improved tone (less visible yellow or brass), smoother texture, and enhanced shine after regular use. Many users apply it once a week or every other wash; those with faster-developing brassiness may use it more frequently, always monitoring intensity to avoid violet buildup.

• Neutralized brassiness and fresher-looking highlights.
• Improved softness and reduced frizz with conditioning emollients.
• Adjust frequency to your hair’s porosity and color maintenance needs.

Who is this for: Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights Purple Conditioner is ideal for people with blonde, bleached, silver, gray, or highlighted hair who want an affordable, at-home maintenance product to reduce yellowing and restore a brighter, cooler tone. It suits salon clients, people who color at home, and anyone seeking an easy conditioning step that also refreshes faded tones. Avoid leaving it on too long on ultra-porous or very light hair to prevent temporary violet cast; patch-test if uncertain. Packaging may vary, but the formulation targets cosmetic toning and hydration rather than long-lasting color change.
