Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights Purple Shampoo for Blonde, Silver & Gray Hair — 16 fl oz, Neutralizes Brass & Adds Shine

Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights Purple Shampoo is a violet-toned cleansing treatment designed to neutralize brassy and yellow undertones in blonde, silver, gray, and highlighted hair.

Formulated to refresh color between salon visits, this award-winning shampoo deposits violet pigments and protein-rich ingredients to counteract warm tones while gently cleansing. It leaves hair looking brighter and more luminous without heavy residue, and is suitable for both natural and color-treated blondes, silver and gray hair, or anyone with highlights that need maintenance.

How does this purple shampoo reduce brassiness?

The shampoo uses color-correcting violet pigments that visually cancel out yellow and orange tones on the hair shaft. Regular use gradually restores cooler, more neutral tones while the formula cleanses and adds shine.

• Violet pigments neutralize yellow/brass tones on contact
• Protein-enriched base helps strengthen and polish strands
• Cleans without leaving heavy residue or build-up

How often should I use Shimmer Lights to maintain cool tones?

Frequency depends on hair porosity and the degree of brassiness: many users benefit from once or twice weekly use, while others with stronger warm tones might apply more frequently for short periods. Adjust usage until you reach the desired neutralized shade.

• Start with once a week and increase if brass persists
• Shorter application times for fine or porous hair; longer for resistant brass
• Follow with a compatible conditioner to restore moisture

Will this product work on natural gray or silver hair as well as color-treated blondes?

Yes — the violet deposit targets yellowing on gray, silver, and white hair as effectively as on color-treated blondes. It helps maintain a cooler, cleaner-looking tone across different hair types without altering base color.

• Neutralizes yellowing in gray, silver, and white hair
• Safe for color-treated and highlighted hair when used as directed
• Helps refresh faded highlights and enhance shine

What results can I expect in terms of shine and texture?

Beyond tone correction, the formula is designed to leave hair looking glossy and revitalized. Protein-enriched ingredients support the hair’s surface, reducing dullness while avoiding heavy build-up that can weigh hair down.

• Improves visible shine without residue
• Helps refresh and uplift faded highlights
• Gentle cleansing minimizes dryness when paired with conditioner

Who is this for: Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights Purple Shampoo is for anyone wanting to control warm or yellow tones — ideal for natural blonds, bleached or highlighted hair, silver and gray shades, and salon clients seeking an easy at-home maintenance product between color appointments. Package design may vary, but the violet-toned, protein-enriched formula is formulated to renew tone and boost radiance.
