Tone Up Your Color: Using a gnu-colored shampoo to say bright and glossy is as simple as it gets.

By: Tahiry Sanchez and Hannah Muehlberger

If you color your hair, you’re probably aware of the phenomenon of fading, which occurs when for example your bright cranberry-colored strands fade to a dull brassy orange. It occurs mostly as a result of hair washing. Sudsing up on a regular basis is a must for hyperactive persons. Sulfates, for example, cause color molecules to leak out of strands, while hard water minerals can coat them, making hair seem lifeless. Tinted (also known as toning) shampoos are now available as an at-home remedy. These formulations wash your hair like any other shampoo, but they include pigment in them that highlights the tones you like and neutralizes the ones you don’t. Shampoos with tints are safe to use on a fully dyed mane, highlights, or even your natural color. Because the pigment rests on top of your strands, you’ll want to include a tinted shampoo into your regimen on a regular basis for consistent effects. Here are three hair colors that are extremely popular, on the rise, and require the most thorough hair product protection.

For Blonde, Gray, and White hair:

By depositing the opposite hue on the color wheel, a colored shampoo neutralizes an unfavorable tone. Violet shampoos like OG X Blonde Enhance + Purple Toning Shampoo prevent this while enhancing your cooler blond tones.

For Brown Hair

As their color fades, brunettes frequently get brassy highlights. Returning to the color wheel, blue is the opposite of orange. Red undertones are also common in brunettes. Use a green shampoo like Matrix Total Results Dark Envy and be green to get rid of them from your hair.

Because red hair is the most difficult to manage, use a colored shampoo to bring out the hues you love. If your hair has a warm tone, like copper, use JOICO’s Infused red shampoo after your color-safe shampoo to bring out a cool tone like that gorgeous crimson.
