MATRIX Brass Off Blue Shampoo for Lightened Brunettes & Dark Blondes — Color-Depositing, Tones & Neutralizes Brass

Matrix Brass Off Blue Shampoo is a color-depositing toning shampoo that refreshes cool tones and reduces brassy orange and yellow undertones in lightened brunettes and dark blondes.

If your color has warmed up between salon visits, this blue-violet pigmented shampoo helps rebalance warm, brassy shades while cleansing and conditioning. Formulated for color-treated and natural hair, it deposits pigment as it cleans to quickly neutralize unwanted warmth. Use it as part of the Brass Off system for gradual or stronger toning results depending on the product combination you choose.

How quickly will I see a reduction in brassiness?

Many people notice cooler tones after just one application, though results depend on starting color, porosity, and how long you leave the shampoo on. For moderate toning, follow label directions; for stronger neutralization, leave the product on hair for 2–3 minutes. Repeat use every other wash to maintain tone without over-depositing pigment.

• Visible toning often after a single wash.
• Leave on 2–3 minutes for enhanced pigment payoff.
• Use every other wash to prevent buildup and maintain color balance.
• Combine with Brass Off Conditioner or Mask for layered toning strength.

Will this shampoo damage my color or hair?

Brass Off Blue Shampoo is designed for color-treated and natural hair and functions as a cleansing, pigment-depositing formula rather than a lightener or chemical treatment. It includes conditioning agents that help detangle and smooth the cuticle while depositing blue-violet pigments to counteract orange and yellow tones. As with any toning product, follow recommended frequency and rinse thoroughly to avoid uneven pigment buildup.

• Deposits pigment without lightening hair.
• Contains conditioning polymers to help smooth and detangle.
• Not a replacement for a professional color service; use between appointments.
• Follow usage instructions to limit over-depositing and uneven tone.

How should I incorporate Brass Off into my routine?

Use Brass Off Blue Shampoo in place of your regular shampoo when you want to neutralize warmth. Apply to wet hair, lather, leave for the recommended time if extra tonal correction is needed, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with Brass Off Conditioner for added color balance and hydration; for maximum neutralization, use the Neutralization Mask or the Pigmented Conditioner in the Brass Off lineup.

• Apply to wet hair, lather, rinse; wear gloves if preferred.
• Use the conditioner after shampoo for smoother, balanced tone.
• Alternate with regular shampoo to prevent over-pigmentation.
• Pair with other Brass Off products for customizable toning levels.

Is this suitable for my hair shade and texture?

Brass Off Blue Shampoo works best for lightened brunettes, dark blondes, and those with highlights who want to neutralize orange or warm brass. It is suitable for a range of hair textures, but highly porous or very lightened hair may absorb pigment more quickly and require shorter processing times. Test on a small section if unsure about intensity or timing.

• Ideal for lightened brunettes, dark blondes, and highlighted hair.
• Acceptable for color-treated and natural hair types and textures.
• Highly porous hair may need shorter application times.
• Perform a strand test for confidence with timing and tone intensity.

Who this is for: Matrix Brass Off Blue Shampoo is for anyone with warm, brassy undertones seeking a quick, at-home corrective wash — especially lightened brunettes, dark blondes, and highlighted clients who want to preserve cooler tones between salon visits. It’s also useful for stylists and at-home users who prefer buildable, professional-leaning toning that pairs with conditioners and masks for customized results. Avoid daily use if you want subtle maintenance; instead, space applications according to your hair’s porosity and desired level of neutralization.
