What’s the difference between purple shampoo and blue shampoo?

Purple shampoo is designed to remove brassy, warm tones in blonde hair while a blue shampoo is designed for brunettes.

John Friedas Blue Crush is made for brunettes

We're all used to the idea of using purple shampoo to balance out blonde, but John Frieda's Blue Crush collection helps to knock out stubborn brassy tones for brunettes.

  • John Frieda Blue Crush, from £6.99 - buy here

John Frieda's Blue Crush Shampoo and Blue Crush Conditioner are available to shop now from Boots and are priced at £6.99 each.

The blue works to counteract the orange, so those brunettes who lighten their hair with highlights or balayage hair can return to their cool tones, and banish brassy, orange.

Brunette hair has more melanin than blonde, and while you're at a salon your hairdresser will use a toner to banish warm, coppery tones but these will soon fade, and here's where the Blue Crush steps in.

Using the same science as John Frieda's Violet Crush to banish yellow toned brassiness, the blue looks to neutralise the orange tones in brunette hair.

If like us, you're counting down the days to your next hair appointment when the salons re-open in April this could be just the thing to see your through to keep your locks looking fresh.

It's available exclusively from Boots now, and is priced at £6.99 a bottle.

We'll see you at the tills.
