Purple Toning Shampoos

Meet the best purple toning shampoos you will ever use, specially formulated to prolong and enhance hair color and cool tones while neutralizing yellow-hued brassiness with every gentle, non-drying wash.

Our hydrating dual-action formulas cleanse hair of dirt and impurities without stripping moisture or color, then do one better by actually deposting just the right amount of weightless pigment and emollients in their place.

Of course, like all Virgo de Novo shampoos, our purple toning shampoos are free of sulfates and sodium chloride, maintain a color-optimal pH of 4.6-5.0, and contain a plethora of hair-healthy proteins and antioxidants.

And if this wasn't already enough to prove our point, our purple toning shampoos come in not one, not two, but THREE intensity levels, so you can choose the right pigment strength for YOUR shade.

Hair color will be visibly cooler, stubborn yellow tones will be eradicated, and regrowth demarcation lines will be minimized with just one shampoo, and stay that way with consistent use.

What TRUE TONE Purple Toning Shampoos have:

• Kale, Carrot and Lemon Proteins: This powerful complex of plant proteins nourishes and moisturizes hair, strengthening its natural barrier function and fortifying hair to reduce breakage and improve elasticity and hair health.
  
• Olive and Sweet Almond Oils: Rich in fatty acids, B vitamins and antioxidants, these hair-loving yet lightweight oils condition and moisturize both hair and scalp, taming frizz and combatting flaking. They also offer exceptional protective benefits, leaving the hair shaft sealed, protected and smooth.
  
• Low pH: The 4.6-5.0 pH level of this formula helps maintain hair’s natural acidity, which is essential for keeping the cuticle sealed and reducing color fade. This also prevents frizz and dryness for hair that’s smoother, shinier and more vibrant.
  
• TRUE TONE Purple Pigments: Performance-driven pigments added to our Drench Shampoo base means toning results without damage. Plus, by offering three intensity levels, our purple toning shampoos take custom color care to another level.

What TRUE TONE Purple Toning Shampoos don't have:

• Sulfates: Sulfates can be harsh on hair, stripping natural oils and causing color to fade. Our sulfate-free formula gently cleanses, leaving hair soft and color vibrant.
  
• Sodium Chloride: Sodium chloride (salt) can be abrasive and dehydrating, especially to color-treated or processed hair. By removing sodium chloride, True Tone Blue Toning Shampoos can cleanse without drying or damaging hair.
  
• Animal-tested or Animal-derived Ingredients: True Tone Purple Toning Shampoos are vegan and cruelty-free. Virgo de Novo Professional Hair Care only uses ethically-sourced ingredients and never those that are tested on animals.

Purple toning shampoos will give white and platinum hair a silvery purple hue. Be sure to choose the pigment intensity level that is right for your hair color.

Professional hair care tips:

• For hair with excess build up or styling products, a prewash with Purify Detox Shampoo will allow the toning shampoo to deposit maximum pigment for maximum impact.
• Wear gloves to prevent any temporary staining of hands and nails; wash hands quickly and thoroughly to remove any discoloration.
• Sulfate-free shampoos generally produce less suds and lather than products that contain sulfates. For more lather, add more water once the product is in your hair and massage through hair again.

TRUE TONE Purple Toning Shampoos are not just treats for your tresses - they're treats for your senses as well. Our signature Mineral Musk fragrance is sophisticated yet clean, combining sweet, green, floral and marine elements that will delight you with every use.
