Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights Purple Conditioner 31.5 fl oz — Neutralizes Brass, Moisturizing Toner for Blonde & Silver Hair

Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights Purple Conditioner is a salon-strength purple conditioner formulated to neutralize brassy yellow tones and refresh blonde, silver, gray, and highlighted hair while delivering moisture.

Many lightened or naturally pale hair shades develop warm or yellowed tones over time from sun, styling, and minerals in water. This purple-toned conditioner deposits gentle violet pigments to counteract unwanted brassiness while conditioning the hair shaft. In a large 31.5 fl. oz bottle, this professional-size formula is built for regular use at home or in busy salons that need a reliable maintenance product for pale and cool hair colors.

How does this conditioner reduce brass and yellow tones?

The conditioner uses violet pigments that sit on the hair surface and visually neutralize warm yellow and orange reflections. It doesn't permanently change your color; instead it offsets unwanted undertones so the hair looks cooler and more radiant after rinsing. Use frequency depends on how quickly your hair picks up warm tones.

• Violet color-depositing pigments counteract yellow and brassy hues.
• Rinses out—does not permanently tint the hair.
• Suitable for periodic or regular maintenance, depending on brassiness level.

Will it dry out my hair or is it conditioning enough?

This formula blends moisturizing agents and emollients to soften and detangle while toning, so it refreshes color without leaving hair brittle. It’s designed to be used after shampoo, adding slip for easier combing and a smoother finish. For very dry hair, pair it with a deep conditioning mask periodically.

• Contains emollients and moisturizers to improve softness and manageability.
• Conditions as it tones—helps reduce tangling and frizz.
• Can be used with additional masks for intensive hydration routines.

How often should I use Shimmer Lights Purple Conditioner?

Frequency depends on your color and how quickly warm tones return: many find once or twice weekly keeps cool shades bright, while others use it after each wash for quicker toning. Start with once a week and increase if you still see brassiness. Always adjust based on results—overuse can cause subtle violet buildup on very porous hair.

• Begin with weekly use, then increase to 1–2 times weekly if needed.
• Daily use is unnecessary and may deposit extra pigment on porous hair.
• Rinse thoroughly and follow with a regular care routine for best balance.

What types of hair and color does this work best on?

It’s formulated for light shades—blonde, bleached, highlighted, silver, and gray hair benefit most from the violet pigment. It also helps those transitioning to cooler tones or maintaining salon color between color appointments. Darker hair won’t see a visible toning effect but can still gain conditioning benefits.

• Ideal for bleach-blonde, natural blonde, highlighted, silver, and gray hair.
• Not effective for visibly toning medium-to-dark hair shades.
• Great for salon and at-home maintenance to extend color vibrancy.
