I just lightened my hair (at home) and have some brassiness at top of head. Will this darken my hair from its current extra light blond color?

A little. I use it on my platinum hair and it tones it to a very very light ash blonde. The crown tends to be more resistant to lifting...

yes, it will definitely tone it down and make a bit darker. this saved my hair several times in situation like yours.

If I remember right it did help when I was in a similar situation. The best thing I find is to choose a shade that is marked COOLER to combat brassiness. The Preference and Excellence products are marked WARMER and COOLER. You can also get red/gold killer (an additive) at a beauty supply or on Amazon. Be sure to read instructions.

Speaking for me. I have dark hair. It appears to be the same color. I don't detect that it has darkend my hair, nor has it made it lighter. I generally use it as a hot oil treatment overnight. Sorry, don't know how much help I was to you.

Hi Crystal, being that henna is a natural product, it won't lighten your hair but you will still pick up a lot of those deep red highlights using the Wine Red. It might actually be close to that purple look you are wanting just because your hair is already a little darker than the Wine Red is by itself.

It got out some but not all the brass from dark blonde so would be similar for light brown. I am going to try T18 because I still have a lot of yellow.

I think it depends on your original hair color. It's comes out darker if your hair color is black like mine.

I depends on how dark natural hair is. My hair was light brown with some red in it. It will not produce a platinum blond but nets a realistic, ladylike believable blond that's not at all brassy. For some reason it was discontinued. If you have light hair, you wil not need to double-process by pre-bleaching.

I can't help much - I mix it with a medium brown to make the mix more "ashy". I really doubt that it will do anything to lighten any color hair but that's just a guess. Sorry.

Hi Danni. It will darken your hair somewhat, but lighten after a few washes.

It's definitely more on the Grey side. I hate brassy yellow & it definitely toned it to an ash blonde but with a grayish hue. It has gotten lighter since 2 shampoos. Ive used t18 also & you probably want that one if youre looking for white blonde. Hope this helps.

My hair is brunette with gold highlights and it brightened the highlights (made them less brassy and more visible). I would definitely think you could use this shampoo. If you have well water as I do right now, then the chemicals dull the highlights and make them brassy. I did notice more of a difference when I use the shampoo, conditioner, AND the treatment. It doesn't work as well without the treatment powder (but better than regular shampoo).

In all my experience one hour and I stay creamy blonde no brassy not white of course if you're worried I would do 1/2 hour so there is no chance. That's how it works for me, I hope it's the same for you! Hearts

I did find that it lightened my highlights considerably. Left my hair almost streaky.

This shampoo is made especially for gray/silver hair. I used to be blonde and have some brassy undertones. This shampoo brings out the silver in my hair and tones down the brassiness to a more pewter tone. I would not recommend it for blonde hair, natural or color treated.

I agree with the others here. I had a lot of brassy/yellow tones from 25 yrs of highlighting and it is now a soft platinum blonde that is healthy and fabulous looking. I will never be without this product! I use it once every 3-4 shampoos and it keeps the highlights and gray hair in balance for me

You should be able to use it as is. My hair is a darker brown so it came out a deeper darker burgundy that what is shown here. if your hair is a medium blonde you should get the results shown on the picture. Mine also may be darker because I left it in overnight. The longer you leave it on, the darker/more developed the color will be. Good luck.

That's actually what I did when I bought mine, I am not an expert, but I kind of had a little blonde left from the last time and brightened the very ends with the manic panic flash. It worked, but be sure to use brightening shampoo or the recommended brightening toner with this or your hair does get dark and brassy again. Other than that, works great.

it all depends on how light that section of your hair is. the lighter our hair is, the brighter your color will look. The only thing you can do is bleach that section out again (but for only a short amount of time), or just accept that funky spot as part of your unintentional style :)
