Klorane Centaury Purple Shampoo for Blonde, Silver & Gray Hair — 13.5 fl oz, Neutralizes Brass & Softens

Klorane Shampoo with Centaury is a purple-toned cleanser that removes unwanted yellow, brassy, and copper reflections to refresh blonde, platinum, silver and gray hair while leaving strands soft and bouncy.

Formulated around a plant-derived centaury pigment, this color-correcting shampoo gently lifts warm undertones without silicones, sulfates or parabens. It cleanses and deposits violet pigments that visually neutralize brass, while helping hair feel nourished and restored. Use it regularly to maintain brightness between salon visits and to keep cool tones crisp from root to tip.

How does this shampoo remove yellow or brassy tones?

The product uses violet-depositing pigments to counteract warm, yellow-orange hues through color theory: purple cancels yellow. Its shampoo base lifts residual deposits and evenly distributes the corrective dye so tone correction appears natural, not streaky. The centaury extract provides botanical support without harsh chemistry.

• Violet pigment deposits neutralize yellow and copper reflections
• Cleansing formula removes product buildup that amplifies brass
• Even pigment distribution prevents patchy or overstated toning

Will it dry out my hair or strip color?

This formula is designed to tone while minimizing drying: it is free of sulfates, silicones and parabens, and includes conditioning agents to keep hair soft. It’s safe for color-treated hair when used as directed, but overuse may deepen cool tones—follow the recommended frequency for your hair level and porosity.

• Sulfate-, silicone- and paraben-free to reduce harsh stripping
• Conditioning components help preserve softness and bounce
• Use frequency guidance prevents over-toning

How often should I use Klorane Centaury Purple Shampoo?

Frequency depends on your starting tone and how warm your hair becomes between washes. For pale blondes and gray hair, once or twice weekly is often enough. Darker, porous or lightened hair that quickly gathers brassy tones may need slightly more frequent use, applied for shorter times.

• Once to twice weekly for light blondes and silvers
• Adjust timing (shorter exposure) for porous or very lightened hair
• Alternate with a gentle moisturizing shampoo on other washes

What results can I expect after use?

After rinsing, hair looks visibly cooler and brighter with reduced yellow or copper reflections. Along with tone correction, strands feel nourished, flexible and smoother to the touch, offering improved shine and color intensity without a heavy residue.

• Neutralized brassy tones and cooler overall shade
• Enhanced shine and perceived color intensity
• Hair remains soft, bouncy and manageable
