There’s a common opinion that the only role of a shampoo is cleansing, but a quality shampoo can do so much more than that. Improving the state of scalp and calming it, refreshing your colour, removing brassy tones from your blonde hair – these are just some of the wonders shampoos can do. This means you can refresh your hair colour and improve it between salon visits. Intrigued? Read on and let us tell you how silver (and blue) shampoo will be your saviour!

These shampoos are definitely the most popular colour correcting choices. Blondes know so well how yellow and brassy can be annoying. We bet that if blondes could get one wish from a genie granted, it would be to rid themselves of brassy tones forever!

Brunettes, on the other hand, have a different problem – their hair gets warm, orange hues after a few washes. Luckily, there are solutions for both of these problems – silver and blue shampoos. Silver shampoos are probably more known and hence – popular, but both of these get the work done.

Silver shampoos are usually very pigmented and have a dark purple tone, while blue shampoos, as their name says, are blue. The purple tones of silver shampoos neutralise unwanted brassy tones and return the silver tone to the hair. Blue work on the same principle and remove orange tones from brunette hair.

However, there is a downside. These shampoos can have a drying effect on your hair, so be sure to pair these products with strong moisturising masks. Also, you should keep in mind the washing procedure, as it’s different than with the regular shampoos. These products are used as masks, so you should use another, mild shampoo for cleaning purposes beforehand.

There are other colour correcting options, like conditioners and masks. They can be a good choice for dry hair, as they contain moisturising ingredients instead of clarifying ones. Other hair colours can benefit from colour correcting products. There are many products that are aimed for copper or bright red hair.

Futuristic mermaid hair.
Mermaid colours have been around for a few seasons and are a very popular choice for summer and festivals, but what happens when this trend is spiced up? Futuristic mermaid colours! These colours are on the cool part of the colour spectrum and give your hair an extraterrestrial vibe. What are the colours to look out for? Mint, steel blue, icy lavender, cool pink, silver and icy blonde. These shades look magnificent, but the chemicals can damage your hair, so you should include a strong, protein infused mask to your routine or ask for an Olaplex treatment in the salon.

Natural hair. Mother nature knows best, right?
If you think futuristic hair is too much for you and the total opposite of your natural hair in terms of colour and texture, this trend might be a good choice for you. You probably have your own “my lips but better” lipstick, right? Well, this trend does the same for your hair and embraces your natural colour and texture, but improves it. To get the most out of this trend, ask for a couple of sunkissed highlights that will frame your face, or skip the hair iron and go for your natural curls. To keep your hair looking gorgeous, invest in quality moisturising and protein-based masks.

Bob, Lob & Co.
The bob and lob trend continues to rule the beauty world and we can definitely see why! This style is an amazing choice for both straight and curly hair. Also, it’s a great choice for every face shape, which is a very important issue. It’s also important to mention that bobs and lobs can be easily styled at home, with the help of an iron or a dryer. However, these can dry out your hair, so be sure to include a combination of moisturising and protein-based products, to keep your strands healthy.
