When it comes to brassy hair care, blondes seem to get all the love—and we can understand why! Salon blondes (particularly those icy, cool-toned shades) are prone to brassy, yellow undertones more than any other hue—but they’re not the only ones. Brunettes also deal with brassiness and color fading from time to time.

If you’re a brunette experiencing brass, we’re breaking down everything you need to know including why you need blue shampoo and which hair care system from the L'Oréal portfolio of products is a must-have to get rid of those orangey undertones for good.

What does blue shampoo do?
To answer this question, we have to take a look at the color wheel. Because yellow and purple are complementary to each other on the color wheel, the pigments in purple shampoo help to cancel out yellow tones in blonde hair. The same goes for blue and orange: When brown hair starts to turn brassy, blue shampoos works to counteract those orangey undertones that peak through when darker shades are lifted.
How often should you use a toning shampoo?
As with all hair products, we like to stick to what it says on the bottle! Most toning shampoo and conditioner systems recommend swapping it out with your regular color-treated shampoo formula two to three times a week.
