dpHUE Cool Brunette Shampoo for Brown Hair, 8.5 oz — Blue Pigments Neutralize Brass, Color-Safe

dpHUE Cool Brunette Shampoo is a blue-pigmented, color-safe cleanser formulated to neutralize orange, red and brassy tones in brown hair while adding softness and shine.

This shampoo uses blue pigments targeting warm undertones so brunettes maintain cooler, more even color between salon visits. The SLS- and SLES-free formula cleanses without stripping color, and silk proteins plus hibiscus extract help smooth strands and improve surface luster. It’s designed specifically for natural or color-treated brown hair that needs brass reduction without harsh sulfates or parabens.

How does the blue pigment actually reduce brassiness?

Blue pigments sit on the hair’s surface and counteract orange and red reflections by visually canceling warm tones, shifting the perceived color toward a cooler brown. Results are immediate after rinsing, with stronger neutralization if left on briefly. This approach is cosmetic and safe for routine use as directed.

• Blue-violet colorants target orange & red undertones.
• Use for 1–5 minutes for progressive intensity.
• Rinse thoroughly to avoid temporary blue residue.

Will this shampoo damage color-treated hair?

dpHUE Cool Brunette is formulated to be color-safe and free of harsh sulfates and parabens that can accelerate fading. Gentle cleansing preserves salon color while addressing brassiness, and silk proteins help reduce breakage from brushing or styling. For best results, pair with the matching Cool Brunette Conditioner.

• SLS & SLES sulfate free to limit color stripping.
• Paraben-free formula maintains hair integrity.
• Silk proteins and hibiscus extract add softness and shine.

How often should I use Cool Brunette to maintain tone?

Frequency depends on how quickly your hair develops warm tones: many people use it twice weekly, while others only need it every one to two weeks. It’s safe to use as often as required to control brass, and short application times reduce buildup risk. Monitor results and adjust timing to your hair’s response.

• Twice weekly for frequent brass control.
• Once every 7–14 days for mild maintenance.
• Short leave-in (1–5 minutes) for stronger toning when needed.

How should I use this shampoo for best results?

Apply to wet hair, massage into strands and scalp, then rinse thoroughly. For deeper neutralization, leave the shampoo on for up to five minutes before rinsing. Follow with dpHUE Cool Brunette Conditioner to lock in tone and add detangling and softness.

• Wet hair thoroughly before application.
• Massage through roots to ends; rinse after washing.
• Leave on up to 5 minutes when extra toning is needed.
