MATRIX Brass Off Color-Depositing Hair Mask 6.8 fl oz — Neutralizes Brass & Conditions Fragile Color-Treated Hair

Matrix Brass Off Color Depositing Hair Mask is a pigmented blue-violet treatment that neutralizes brassy orange tones while conditioning and helping protect fragile, color-treated hair.

If you lighten, balayage, or regularly color your hair, residual warm pigments can make blonde, highlighted, or pre-lightened strands look brassy and uneven. This mask deposits cool-toned pigments to counteract orange and yellow reflections, while delivering a conditioning formula designed for delicate, processed hair. The concentrated color-pigment blend lets you customize results: a brief application refreshes tone, while a longer leave-in delivers stronger neutralization.

How quickly will Brass Off remove brassy orange tones?

Results depend on your starting shade and hair porosity. Shorter exposure produces subtle cooling, and longer timing yields more noticeable neutralization. Always perform a strand test first to determine the ideal timing for your hair.

• 5 minutes — mild toning for slight brassiness
• 10 minutes — stronger neutralization for pronounced orange tones
• Do not use daily due to concentrated pigments
• Strand test recommended before full-head use

What is the correct way to apply this color-depositing mask?

Use Brass Off after cleansing with a compatible shampoo. Apply on wet hair with gloves, distribute evenly with a comb or fingers, avoid the scalp, and time according to the level of toning you want. Rinse thoroughly after the chosen processing time.

• Step 1: Shampoo with Brass Off or a clarifying cleanser
• Step 2: Apply to wet hair, comb through for even coverage
• Step 3: Leave 5–10 minutes depending on desired effect
• Step 4: Rinse well; avoid daily applications

Will this mask damage my hair or affect previously applied color?

The formula is created for color-treated, fragile hair and aims to condition while depositing pigment rather than lift or strip color. Because it’s highly pigmented, it won’t lighten hair and may deepen cool tones; follow instructions and avoid overuse to maintain balanced color and condition.

• Color-depositing, not lightening
• Formulated to condition fragile, processed hair
• Overuse can build up pigment—space applications appropriately
• Strand test to preview effect on existing color

How often should I use the mask to maintain tone?

Frequency varies with hair porosity and how quickly warmth returns, but the concentrated nature of this mask means treatments are typically spaced rather than daily. Use as a maintenance step when you notice brassiness returning, and pair with your regular color-safe care routine for best results.

• Not recommended for daily use
• Use intermittently as brassiness appears
• Combine with color-safe shampoo and conditioning practices
• Perform periodic strand checks to avoid pigment buildup

This mask is ideal for anyone with lightened, highlighted, or naturally warm-toned hair who wants to reduce orange or brassy reflections without salon time. It suits color-treated, fragile strands that need both pigment correction and conditioning support. If you’re unsure about timing or compatibility with a recent coloring service, do a strand test or consult your stylist.
