MATRIX Brass Off Blue Shampoo for Lightened Brunettes & Dark Blondes — Color-Depositing, Neutralizes Brassiness

Matrix Brass Off Blue Shampoo is a color-depositing salon shampoo that refreshes cool tones and reduces brassy orange and red undertones in lightened brunettes and dark blondes.

Designed for color-treated and natural hair that has been lightened, this professional toning shampoo deposits blue-violet pigments to counteract warm, brassy hues without stripping hair color. It cleanses and conditions in one step while helping to maintain a cooler, balanced tone between salon visits. The formula works across multiple levels of lift and blends into a routine with the Brass Off conditioner and neutralization mask for intensified results.

How does this shampoo neutralize brassy tones?

The blue-violet pigments in Brass Off shampoo chemically counter warm orange and red reflections, visually neutralizing brassiness as you lather. It’s formulated to leave a corrective tint that fades gradually with subsequent washes, making it safe for routine use when applied as suggested.

• Deposits blue-violet pigments to offset orange/red undertones
• Cleanses without removing salon-applied color
• Can be left on for 2–3 minutes for stronger toning
• Works across multiple lift levels on lightened brunettes and dark blondes

When and how should I use Brass Off Blue Shampoo for best results?

Use Brass Off every other wash or as needed to refresh cool tones and tame brassiness. For enhanced toning, apply to wet hair, lather, leave for 2–3 minutes, then rinse; follow with Brass Off conditioner and occasionally use the neutralization mask for deeper correction.

• Wear gloves to avoid staining hands during application
• Apply to wet hair, lather thoroughly, rinse well
• Follow with Brass Off conditioner to restore moisture
• Alternate usage frequency to maintain desired tone without over-depositing

Will this shampoo damage or dry out my hair?

Brass Off is formulated to tone while cleansing, not to strip color or over-dry. It contains conditioning ingredients to help maintain hydration; pairing it with the Brass Off conditioner reduces the chance of dryness between salon visits.

• Rinses clean to avoid heavy buildup
• Conditioner recommended after use to lock in moisture
• Professional salon formulation—gentle for color-treated hair
• Use the mask when hair needs an intensive nourishment boost

Can people with natural (non-chemically colored) hair use it?

Yes—natural dark-blonde or brunette hair that develops warm tones from sun exposure or hard water can benefit from occasional toning. Results are subtler on natural hair than on pre-lightened hair, so adjust frequency and leave time accordingly.

• Helpful for sun- or mineral-induced warming on natural hair
• Use sparingly and monitor color shifts
• Works best on hair with lighter or highlighted areas
• Follow with conditioner to maintain softness

Who is this for: Matrix Brass Off Blue Shampoo is aimed at lightened brunettes, dark blondes, and anyone with color-treated hair seeking to neutralize orange and red brassiness between salon visits. It’s ideal for professional and at-home maintenance when used as part of a toning regimen with the Brass Off conditioner and neutralization mask.
