Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights Purple Shampoo 31.5 oz — Violet Toner for Blonde, Silver & Gray Hair, Anti-Brass Formula

Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights Purple Shampoo is a violet-toned cleansing formula that neutralizes brass and yellow undertones in blonde, silver, gray, and highlighted hair.

Keep brassiness at bay between salon visits with this salon-sized 31.5 fl. oz bottle. The concentrated purple pigments counteract warm, unwanted orange and yellow tones while protein-enhanced cleansing helps restore shine and refresh faded highlights without leaving heavy residue. It's formulated for regular use by anyone who wants cooler, crisper pale tones from home or in professional settings.

How does this shampoo reduce brass and yellowing?

The violet pigments in Shimmer Lights deposit opposing color on the hair shaft to visually cancel warm, brassy shades. With each wash the tint subtly corrects tone, making blonde, silver, and gray hair appear cleaner and cooler. It cleanses while delivering color-refining benefits rather than just masking problems.

• Violet-toned pigments neutralize yellow/orange undertones
• Protein-enhanced formula helps maintain hair strength and sheen
• Rinses clean without noticeable residue or dulling film

When and how often should I use Shimmer Lights?

Frequency depends on your hair’s porosity and the level of brassiness. Many users find once or twice weekly maintains desired tone, while those with stronger brass may use it more often for short periods until tone improves. Use a small amount, lather thoroughly, leave for 1–3 minutes if needed, then rinse.

• Use 1–2 times per week for maintenance
• For stronger correction, leave on 1–3 minutes before rinsing
• Pair with a hydrating conditioner to prevent dryness

Will it work on all shades like platinum, highlighted, and gray hair?

Yes — Shimmer Lights is designed for a range of light shades: platinum blondes, highlighted hair, natural grays, and silver tones. The product tones and refreshes color without altering the base color. For deeper or highly porous hair, results may be more noticeable after a few applications.

• Suitable for platinum, highlighted, silver, and gray hair
• Enhances shine and reduces faded-looking highlights
• Compatible with salon and at-home colored hair maintenance

What should I expect in terms of feel and finish?

After rinsing, hair should feel clean and appear brighter with cooler undertones. The formula is designed to leave hair shiny rather than heavy or sticky. Following with a nourishing conditioner or mask helps retain moisture and manageability.

• Leaves hair glossy without weighing it down
• Designed to avoid chalky or purple residue when rinsed properly
• Works best alongside color-protecting conditioners

Who is this for: Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights Purple Shampoo is aimed at anyone with lightened, gray, silver, or highlighted hair who wants to maintain cooler, fresher tones between salon visits. It's useful for salon professionals seeking a large-format maintenance product and for at-home users who prefer a concentrated option to control brassiness while preserving shine.
