Matrix Total Results Brass Off Blue Shampoo - 300ml

This shampoo is specifically formulated for individuals with lightened brunette hair or brunette balayage who want to neutralize unwanted brassy and orange undertones.

The frequency depends on your hair's needs and desired toning level. Most users find success using it 1-2 times per week, alternating with their regular shampoo. Adjust as necessary to maintain your preferred cool tone.

For optimal toning, leave the shampoo on for 3-5 minutes, depending on the level of brassiness and desired intensity. Rinse thoroughly afterward.

This blue shampoo is specifically formulated to combat orange and brassy tones common in lightened brunette hair. Blondes typically deal with yellow tones, which are best neutralized by purple shampoos. Using a blue shampoo on blonde hair might not give the desired results or could result in an unwanted tint.

It can be used as your regular shampoo on toning days, but it's generally recommended to alternate with a moisturizing or color-safe shampoo to avoid over-toning or potential dryness, especially if you have very lightened or porous hair.

Yes, it is designed for color-treated hair, specifically lightened brunettes. Its purpose is to maintain and enhance your cool-toned color, not strip it. However, always follow the usage instructions carefully.

The Brass Off system refers to the full line of products from Matrix Total Results designed to combat brassiness, which includes the Brass Off Blue Shampoo, Conditioner, Mask, and Leave-in Cream. Using them together provides comprehensive toning, nourishment, and helps reduce hair breakage.

Ensure you are leaving the shampoo on for the recommended 3-5 minutes to allow the pigments to deposit. If brassiness persists, consider increasing the application time slightly (up to 5 minutes max) or incorporating the Brass Off Mask and Conditioner for enhanced toning and deeper pigment deposit.

This usually means the shampoo was left on for too long or used too frequently. Reduce the application time or the frequency of use. A clarifying shampoo can help to remove some of the excess pigment. Future applications should be shorter or less frequent.

While the shampoo is designed to moisturize, toning agents can sometimes be drying. Always follow up with a nourishing conditioner, preferably the Matrix Total Results Brass Off Conditioner, and consider using the Brass Off Mask weekly for extra hydration and conditioning.

This shampoo is specifically formulated for lightened brunette hair with orange/brassy tones. If your hair has yellow undertones (common in blonde hair) or is not lightened, this blue shampoo may not be the correct toner for your needs. Consult with a stylist to determine the best toning solution for your specific hair color.
