Matrix | Brass Off | Blue Toning Shampoo to Correct Orange Undertones on Lightened Hair, Total Results

Omg, this is AMAZING! I'm a natural red head (muddy red), so over the years have added red and blonde to my hair to 'lift' it. I decided to embrace my natural colour, but used some semipermanent blonde colours to help the transition. I then decided to just try tinted red shampoo ( great result), then bought a tinted conditioner too. BIG mistake. It's like permanent dye and I looked like Ronald McDonald's sister!! I found this and after just one wash (shampoo only, my own normal conditioner), all the awful red has gone!!! I'm absolutely thrilled. I wish I'd taken photos. ( No point doing an after photo without a before). Absolutely wonderful 😀

Great shampoo and conditioner I use only these in blue. I have my highlights in blonde these shampoo and conditioner stops them from going yellow, works on blonde hair as well. I only use these products im well impressed.

Honestly I never write reviews , but this stuff is amazing !! I’m trying to go lighter , after being my natural dark brunette for years - had it bleached slowly , and am now patiently waiting to go back for the next step in the process - my hair was really orangey and this calmed it down so much , it’s not fully ashy , but it’s made a massive difference in just one use, way more than I expected! AND left my hair soft which was completely unexpected

Happy with it. Gets rid of the yellow/brassy tones.

This product is absolutely amazing! Originally though when I ordered it from Amazon they did give me the wrong item so I got it refunded and brought it again from boots. I was skeptical as it had some mixed reviews but by far the most reviews over the John freida one. This product really is it. I have had a balyage for the first time and did not even know what brassyness was until a friend had told me. My hair was so brassy and one wash with this completely transformed my hair!! It pairs so well w the conditioner and do not dry hair out at all which I know is a real con for the John frieda one. I will buy the 1 litre bottle going forward!! Please note my curls look different in the pics only because the brassy picture I wore curl cream and the other picture I did not. The shampoo does not affect anything to do with the hair apart from the brassyness. This review also applies to the conditioner

Not happy. The first order was incorrect, and it says no returns. I bought a second order and it wasn’t worth the wait!! The blue is supposed to counteract the orange / gold tones. I can see a tiny difference but nothing like the difference that’s being advertised!! I’d like my money back for both orders. My hair looks worse than before.

I’ve got brown hair but had previously dyed it a slightly darker shade of brown and over the years it had gone ginger. I have been using for three months (without the conditioner) and it has made a slight difference. I would recommend using this as the last product last otherwise my usual conditioner makes this have zero impact. There has been some change but not much and I think for the cost I expected more. I wouldnt buy it again

Worked very well to tone down the orange brassy look of my lightened hair. I used this along side the conditioner and felt that they were both effective. I only use it when needed and not as my usual shampoo and conditioner. I was wondering if it would stain the shower curtain, but it didn't thankfully. I think that the conditioner is what really makes the bigger difference as it seems to deposit more of the blue onto the hair. I recommend this.

Buen producto para las mechas de forma preventiva cuando se ponen naranjas

Macht gelbstich weg u duftet ,habe es schon sehr lange in Verwendung! Von meiner Friseurin empfohlen

C'est pour ma part, le meilleur shampooing neutralisant de reflets cuivrés. À laisser poser entre 3 et 5 minutes. J'ai vraiment vu une différence au bout de 3 shampoings. J'avais du mal à me débarrasser de mes reflets rouges/cuivrés suite à mon ancienne coloration. Problème résolu grâce à ce produit. Il rend les cheveux doux et brillants. Je recommande !

It is just like a nor.al purple... shampoo It is the same as the ELVIVE Loreal Purple Shampoo, that you find in any supermarket. It has even the same smell. A waste of time and more expensive than Loreal.

This is the first time I’ve ever written a review for anything in my life, but this deserves it. Lengthy review but I’m excited, ha! I’m a naturally dark brunette who has gone blonde or had blonde highlights/bayalage on and off for years. Like most, I struggle with orange/brassiness. I’ve been doing the ombré-to-bayalage for awhile and this week decided to bring the lightness up higher. I knew I’d be facing the orange/brassiness during the initial phase(s) but forgot what a bummer it can be. I don’t know how I’ve never heard of or noticed blue shampoo before, and quite frankly I wonder why all stylists have only suggested purple shampoo?! Definite disservice! I’ve used several professional purple brands diligently, and while I always use 1-2x/week I never felt like it was even doing anything. I’m sure it was but just not what I hoped - as in if I stopped using I’m sure I’d notice that too. I’ve never been able to *truly* achieve the holy grail type of cool-toned blonde I’ve wanted. I was just resigned to it being good enough given how naturally dark my hair is. An “it is what it is” kind of thing. Enter this baby. I don’t have time to go back to my stylist before I head out of town this weekend so I took to the Internet. I should note that I first went with Fanola No Orange. It did absolutely nothing for me at all. I was so disappointed and thought this “blue shampoo thing” was just going to be something else that turned out to be a big ol’ bust. But this product was another that got raves and was on all the Best Blues lists I read, so I decided to give it one more go and ordered it. Needless to say I’m more than glad I took that leap. It’s my understanding this product is aimed at natural brunettes who lighten their hair. Lightening brings out the orange/brass for us; hence, we need blue - opposite of orange/brass on the color wheel - to work at those dreaded tones. Purple works to pull out yellows. I’m sure I’ll still need that too so I will continue to use that maybe once a week or even every other while mainly sticking with this product 1-2x/week in my maintenance regimen. I’ve read reviews where people complain it’s purple in color and not truly blue. This is true; however, it’s waaaaay more pigmented than any purple shampoo I’ve ever used. USE GLOVES. I was like meh, whatever, the first time I used this and yeah they were right so don’t do what I did...it WILL come off but you’ll literally be scrubbing at your hands/nails/cuticles for 2-3 days at least. I *never* ran into this before with purple shampoos ever. It doesn’t stain your scalp (or anywhere else on your body), your tub, your counter or other fixtures like some - and believe me the first time I used it looked like I squirted it all over my bathroom counter, sink, and mirror - but clean it up right away anyway. I used it conservatively the first time, concentrating most on upper part where we just brought the lightening up. It didn’t do anything to those affected problematic pieces the first time, but Oh. My. God. to everywhere else after just one conservative use. After all this time of “blonde-ing” I FINALLY started to see that desired shade of cool-toned blonde without all the warmth! Yellow, copper, orange, brass, whatever hints that were usually there to some degree were well on their way to hitting the road. I was literally shocked. I’m almost never blown away by any product. I can’t stress that enough! I’ve read it can be drying but I always drown my processed hair in conditioner for several minutes anytime I shower, and if anything, it was smoother and silkier. Smells really great, too! Bonus! After first checking with my stylist to see if I could continue to work at just my problem areas daily until I’m satisfied with the correction level - she said yes as long as I really moisturize each time - I’m noticing a big difference in those problem parts and will probably achieve desired results - without a trip to salon - in the next day or 2. Everyone’s different, so test out slowly and conservatively, but on Day 2 I’m leaving this on upwards of 30 mins (again on just on my problem areas) and then following up with an all-over wash again with it in the shower. I’m really slathering it on and I have a lot of hair so I’m using a lot of it each time. After this though I’ll use it for maintenance like usual. ** I read mixed things about using it on dry hair, so if you choose that route really do a small conservative test first. I like to roll the dice while being smart about it, so I’d like to add I’m half the time using this first on dry hair and half the time just in the shower like I normally would. Either way whether I start dry or wet, I do a double shampoo with it each time - the second all over wash leaving on about 5 mins only. This is also during initial correction only and not what I’m going to do when I go back to normal maintenance use per usual. ** If you can relate to any of this JUST BUY IT. Seriously. I won’t be without this EVER again. If it turns some other blonde pieces a weird purple/gray tone it will wash out in next wash - it happened to me. It doesn’t have actual dyes in it. It’s a toning shampoo. Get it, *really take your time with it to figure out what works for you and your situation* - AKA be smart and patient about it and experiment with it, WEAR GLOVES, and be prepared to be blown away. I really don’t know how people can say this stuff doesn’t work. The only thing I can conclude is they needed to be patient and experiment with it a bit more. I am literally telling everyone about it! It’s such a game changer and I can’t believe this is the first time I’m using this. I hope this helps at least someone. :)
