MATRIX Brass Off Color-Depositing Hair Mask, Blue-Violet 6.8 fl oz — Neutralizes Brassy Orange Tones, Conditions Fragile Hair

Matrix Brass Off is a blue-violet, color-depositing hair mask formulated to neutralize brassy orange tones and help maintain lightened or color-treated hair.

Brass Off by MATRIX is a pigmented treatment mask designed for color-correcting maintenance between salon visits. Its concentrated blue-violet pigments deposit color while conditioning fragile, lightened or highlighted hair, helping reduce undesired warm or orange tones. Packaging may vary, and results depend on starting hair shade and condition — a strand test is recommended before full application.

How should I use this mask for best neutralization results?

Apply Brass Off to freshly shampooed, towel-dried hair while wearing gloves. Distribute evenly from mid-lengths to ends, avoiding direct scalp contact, and choose timing based on how much neutralization you want.

• Use after Brass Off shampoo for optimal pigment adhesion.
• Leave on 5 minutes for subtle toning, up to 10 minutes for stronger neutralization.
• Rinse thoroughly; do not use daily due to strong pigmentation.

Will this mask change my hair color permanently?

The mask deposits temporary blue-violet pigments that wash out over multiple shampoos rather than permanently altering color. Frequency of use and initial hair porosity affect how long the tone lasts.

• Color-depositing, not permanent—gradually fades with washes.
• More porous or very light hair may show stronger, longer-lasting pigment.
• Perform a strand test to preview intensity before full application.

Can I use Brass Off on fragile or color-treated hair without causing damage?

The formula combines conditioning agents with pigment to help strengthen and smooth fragile strands while delivering tone correction. It is intended for treated hair, but careful use and limited frequency are important because of its high pigment load.

• Conditions and helps detangle while neutralizing brassy tones.
• Avoid daily use; follow 5–10 minute timing guidance.
• Use a strand test if hair is highly damaged or porous.

How do I judge the right amount and timing for my hair?

Select amount and processing time based on hair length, thickness and desired tone. Thicker or darker blondes may require longer development; fine or porous hair needs shorter timing to prevent over-toning.

• Short/fine hair: apply sparingly, start with 5 minutes.
• Medium/long hair: use more product and monitor at 5-minute intervals.
• Very porous or previously lightened hair: opt for shorter processing and a strand test first.

Who is this for: MATRIX Brass Off is best suited for people with lightened, highlighted or color-treated blonde shades who want to control warm, brassy or orange tones at home. It's also useful for stylists seeking a salon-grade, color-depositing mask that conditions while toning. Avoid daily use and always test a small section if hair is highly porous or very fragile.
