Joico Color Balance Blue Shampoo and Conditioner, 10 oz.

Really works to preserve the color

El shampoo es buenisimo. Matisa el pelo desde la primera lavada

This stuff is a godsend! I WAS a natural brunette, but now due to grays, I stain my hair brunette with a close-to-natural color and have had partial balayage hilights both as a natural & dyed brunette. I didn’t discover this shampoo until recently after dying my hair all over, but regardless of my natural or dyed brunette base color OR sun exposure, my balayage has had the same tone of brassy color after awhile. This stuff was excellent in toning down the brassy/coppery color of my balayage that I despise without darkening or lightening any color. I wish I had found this stuff sooner, but glad I have it now since I have more frequent touch-ups! I would have definitely wanted this product for my balayage when I was a natural brunette (I never had a dislike for my medium-dark brunette base color or thought it got brassy), but now that I dye my base color, I definitely realized how quickly the base color can become brassy and this shampoo neutralizes that very, very well...huge plus...and it’s also a necessity from toning down any balayage brassiness and preventing it. Also, I saw a lot of people say that it’s very dehydrating, but I only found it to be very minimally less moisturizing than my favorite shampoo & conditioner with a lot naturally curly hair that’s much more coarse than most Caucasian hair and is always in need of more hydration! So, I’ve found that using this once a week (I apply it to dry hair for a few min b4 washing - seems to really tone the hilights better that way) and following with a super moisturizing mask afterward has kept my hair healthy and without any difference in my hair’s usual texture. And trust me, I’d notice in two seconds if my already dry, frizzy, coarse curls became any more dried out! And that hasn’t happened to me while using this product. I’d say this is a definite MUST HAVE for any dyed brunette or natural/dyed brunette with balayage. I benefit tremendously from the toning & longer time between touch ups with this; I’ll never go without!

I recommend it

I was surprised how well this worked after a couple of washes, it really takes the orange tinge down of the highlights in my brown hair. I used this three times before I got married and my hair looks great in the photos. After shampooing my hands do have a blue tinge, but this washes away with soap without leaving a stain.

Très bon produit
