does it really make your white hair purple?

No, not at all. Though the shampoo and conditioner are purple, it doesn't make your hair purple, it keeps it from yellowing and makes the white whiter and the grey, more silver looking.

hi sheila = i've been using it for 4 months now. it makes my hair shiny and blends the colors. i don't see any purple in it. the white is brighter, but still white.

My hair is very white and I have never had any trouble with it being purple. This is the only one that keeps it white in this Florida climate.

No! The shampoo is purple but it brings out the sparkle in gray/silver hair without changing the color. I've only recently allowed my natural color to grow in after years of being a "blonde". Using the shampoo I'd used for years made my hair dull and rather frizzy, a problem I'd never encountered as I have straight, silky hair. Pantene Silver made a huge difference and even without conditioner the texture is soft and manageable. I highly recommend this product. Similar products are considerably more expensive but why pay for a salon "name" when this works as well?

No. The Rinso Blue was a laundry additive, not shampoo.I'm not advising you to do it. Use the Pantene. It's great! In in Florida & the sun & pool water, & ocean can really be hard on any hair. I have no problems using Pantene.

It should help keep your gray hair from getting a yellow cast from hard water and chlorine.

Roux is very thin, temporary purple hue that brightens white hair & enhances gray hair. It is to remove yellowing from gray hair that comes from smoke, water & the environment. It was hard for me to apply the correct amount & it would begin to turn purple. I switched to Clairol Shimmer Lights Shampoo & Conditioner which is more manageable for me & does not seem to go too purple.

I have some grey and when I have used it to cut the red tone that sometime appeared with my bathroom hair coloring.... never noticed any purple effect, in fact quite the opposite, it made the grays shine a tad more......I don't use that method anymore :)

Actually STRAND TEST first. I did and it turned my hair strand lilac purple....yep. Pale purple. And you can not return this product. So ...order 1...test and see if it works.

Yes, it's purple, but I found it very drying to my hair. The Pantene Silver or the Clairol are better choices.

I used it on my mom who has naturally white hair and it was absolutely beautiful! =]. Just don't condition your hair before you dye it only wash and make sure your hair is dry when you put the dye on and leave it on for about an hour

To get it really white you have to bleach it then use this but this will tone down the yellow/gold tones. It will not lighten it at all.

I posted the review right after I did it, so my hair is still quite purple after washing it a few times. I do realize it is a little less vibrant, but it looks decent. Afterwards, not from this dye, but from experience, it's likely to leave a little bit of a purple/pink hue after it completely washes out, but I'm sure if you use a "squeaky clean" or dandruff shampoo it'll definitely take most of it out. Even then, if there are still problems, there are wash-ins that you can get that will tone down the purple/pink hues.

Well I have 100% white - platinum hair, so I only know how it works for me. I will say you do get some purple shades in your hair . I don't mind it, but if that's not what you're looking for than be warned. I'm very happy with this shampoo though!

I've put the violet in my hair and, for some reason, mine transferred onto everything every time it was wet. I even used the Ion color lock conditioner, tried the new nexxus color primer before washes, pureology for color-treated shampoo, but nothing would keep this stuff from turning everything purple. You may end up with a little magenta water around you if your color is anything like mine was. :(

This will, in MY EXPERIENCE ONLY of course, not make anything white, despite the name. What they are getting at with the name I think is that this will take the brass out of white/grey hair.

Hi there, No this will not lighten hair; the purple color of the shampoo counteracts the brassiness of most blonde shades of hair to give the hair an ashier appearance.

I have not had it turn my hair either blue or purple, however it does not get rid of all the yellow either.

Yes!, it takes to bleaching very quickly and beautifully. Take it from a person who bleached it twice and it is currently ombred purple. Hair does get thin over time.

I have blonde hair, bleached it first and it was barely purple. I would not suggest trying it without bleaching (or using this product at all)

No - at least it hasn't done that to my white hair. I love this shampoo, by the way - it has really helped with the dry itchiness, and I like the smell of it too.

I honestly don't know. I would say it would have a purple tint to it, but to get it really purple, you would most likely need to bleach your hair first.
