These two are the perfect pair to freshen up chemically lightened hair. The shampoo is a deep shade of purple that for me, absolutely neutralised any hint of yellow warmth that my blonde can take on. The shampoo left my hair clean and ready to soak up the truly rich and luxurious conditioner. It has the softest violet shade and is gentle enough to leave on your hair without it worrying that you'll leave the shower with an accidental purple rinse! I have done this before, so it was a genuine concern! I didn't need to worry though, as these two only left me with the softest, yummiest-smelling hair that has lasted 7 days between washes.
Depending on how often you wash your hair, I think they're right to recommend only using this for one of your washes per week. Perhaps that's why L'Oreal has chosen to sell these in quite small quantities?
Overall, I recommend giving these two a go. If you haven't tried purple shampoos or conditioners before, these would be a great introduction to how effective they can be. On the other side of that coin, if you've religiously bought salon-brand purple products, these could save you a lot of cash!
Loved reviewing the Elvive Purple Regime, Im always looking for a good purple shampoo / conditioner so was super pleased and willing to give these a go. I've never used many of Loreal's haircare products, but am very impressed with these two products. The bottles are great and easy to use, you get a decent amount of product for a very reasonable price and they can be easily purchased from anywhere. They helped remove any brassy or orange tones from my hair and leave it feeling soft and silky which is something I have found a majority of purple shampoos / conditioners don't do. Smells great and doesn't stain badly as other products have in the past. Highly recommend and am grateful to have trialled them.
