I would NOT use this again on my own hair (which was improperly colored to orangey, and then NOT fixed by a good colorist--not fixable by Shimmer Lights at all, either--that bad,) but it is the...

this smells like the worst 1970's Avon perfume. It gave me a headache and it lingers all day. To make matters worse the conditioner is like purple water.

This was my first ever purple shampoo. I was impressed by it, especially for such a great price. Decently pigmented, does the job but it smells icky. Have tried better products since though.

This shampoo IS strongly scented and anyone who has ever used it will tell you they smell your "purple shampoo." It is also somewhat drying and your hair will likely tangle like crazy so be...

I love the light Violet streaks it leaves...very slight but can see them in the sun...use a very good conditioner after every time to prevent dryness.

Paint this on your hair while its dry and leave it in for an hour or two. You will have a purple tint but it will fade quickly. Fixed my hot orange roots in one use. Now they are a cool blonde that...
