Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights Purple Shampoo 16 fl oz — Violet Toner for Blonde, Silver & Highlighted Hair, Protein-Enriched

Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights Purple Shampoo is a violet-toned, color-enhancing cleanser that reduces brassy yellow tones in blonde, silver, gray and highlighted hair.

Formulated for color-maintained and naturally light hair, this salon-favorite shampoo deposits violet pigments while gently cleansing to refresh tone and restore shine. Protein-enriched and rinse-out safe, it helps extend the life of highlights and silvering hair between color appointments without leaving a heavy residue. Packaging may vary, but the performance targets neutralizing warm undertones and brightening cool shades.

How does this shampoo neutralize brass and yellow tones?

The violet molecules in Shimmer Lights sit opposite yellow on the color wheel, so they counteract warm, brassy tones when applied as a cleanser. Regular use tones faded highlights and gray hair, making color appear fresher and cooler without artificial heaviness.

• Contains purple pigments that cancel yellow and orange hues
• Use 1–3 times weekly depending on brassiness level
• Works on natural blonde, color-treated, gray and highlighted hair

Will it leave my hair dry or sticky?

This formula is protein-enriched to help maintain hair body and manageability while rinsing clean. It’s designed to avoid sticky buildup; pairing with a moisturizing conditioner helps keep strands soft and smooth.

• Protein-enriched to support hair strength and texture
• Rinses out without heavy residue or waxy feel
• Follow with conditioner for added hydration and detangling

How should I use it for best results?

Apply to wet hair, lather, leave on 1–5 minutes based on desired toning intensity, then rinse thoroughly. Start with shorter intervals and increase time for stronger toning; combine with regular shampoo days to avoid over-toning.

• Wet hair thoroughly before applying
• Massage into roots and lengths; leave 1–5 minutes
• Rinse well and follow with conditioner or Shimmer Lights conditioner

How often should I use Shimmer Lights for maintenance?

Frequency depends on your hair’s undertone and how fast brassiness returns. For most people, once a week is enough; stronger brass may require two sessions weekly until color evens out.

• Once weekly for maintenance on most blondes and grays
• Up to twice weekly for stubborn warm tones or monthly fading
• Alternate with a gentle daily shampoo to preserve tone balance

Who is this for: Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights Purple Shampoo is aimed at anyone with naturally light, color-treated, highlighted, silver or gray hair who wants to reduce warm, brassy tones and refresh cool shades between salon visits. It’s suitable for home use by people who prefer a targeted toning shampoo that rinses clean and supports shine without heavy buildup.
