How to Remove Purple Shampoo From Your Hair
If you've found yourself with unwanted purple hues after a shampoo session, don't worry—getting your hair back to normal is easier than you might think. Here’s a straightforward guide on how to effectively remove purple shampoo from your hair, leaving it vibrant and healthy-looking.
Understanding Why Your Hair Has Turned Purple
Sometimes, using purple shampoo can result in unexpected pastel, light blue, or purple tints in your hair. This issue is often due to highly pigmented, over-the-counter purple shampoos designed to neutralize yellow and brassy tones. For those seeking a more reliable solution, Parrotfish Purple Shampoo offers a professionally formulated option that balances effective toning with top-notch quality, significantly reducing the risk of undesired color shifts. Check out Parrotfish's purple shampoo for a trusted product that avoids the pitfalls of typical drugstore versions.
Can The Purple Colour Fade?
Should you end up with an unwanted purple tint, remember it's only temporary and should fade within a few weeks. Washing your hair more frequently with a standard shampoo can speed up the fading process.
How To Remove the Purple Shampoo
Warm Water Rinse
Begin by thoroughly rinsing your hair with warm water. The warmth helps to loosen the purple pigment left behind by the shampoo. Massage your scalp and run your fingers through your hair under the water to help break down the residue. Continue rinsing until the water runs clear, indicating that most of the purple has been washed out.
Clarifying Shampoo
After the initial rinse, use a clarifying shampoo. This type of shampoo is designed to deep-clean your hair and scalp, removing any leftover color and buildup effectively. Apply it all over your hair, lather well, and then rinse thoroughly. This should strip away any remaining purple tones and restore your hair's natural shine.
Lemon Juice Rinse
For a natural approach to removing any lingering purple shampoo, a lemon juice rinse can be quite effective. Mix the juice of two lemons with a quart of water and use this mixture to rinse your hair after shampooing. The acidity in lemon juice helps break down the purple pigment. Leave the rinse on your hair for a few minutes before rinsing out with cool water.
Baking Soda Method
Mixing a paste of baking soda and water can also help remove stubborn purple shampoo residue. Apply this paste to your hair, focusing on the areas with the most color buildup. Let it sit for about five minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Baking soda's mild abrasive properties help to scrub the color away gently.
Vitamin C Treatment
Another effective method is using a vitamin C treatment. Crush a few vitamin C tablets and mix them with shampoo to create a paste. Apply this to your hair, leave it for about 30 minutes, then rinse. Vitamin C is acidic and works similarly to lemon juice, helping to fade the purple tint.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Finish up with an apple cider vinegar rinse to ensure all residues are gone and to restore the pH balance of your hair. Mix equal parts of water and vinegar, apply it after rinsing out your hair, and then wash it out after a few minutes. This will not only remove any last traces of purple but will also leave your hair shiny and smooth.
Seeking Professional Hair Color Correction
If home remedies fall short in correcting purple shampoo mishaps, it's wise to consult a professional hairstylist. They have the expertise to assess and rectify unwanted tones in your hair using specialized techniques. This may involve using color removers or bleach to strip the unwanted color, followed by applying a toner to achieve the desired shade. The process, tailored to your hair’s specific needs, can take several hours but ensures a natural, even color correction. Reaching out to a professional not only fixes the color but also helps maintain the health and integrity of your hair.
How to Avoid Purple Hair from Purple Shampoo
To prevent your hair from turning an unintended shade of purple when using purple shampoo, consider these guidelines:
- Choose Salon-Grade Products: Opt for salon-grade purple shampoo rather than cheaper, generic options. Professional shampoos are formulated with the correct balance of product and pigment to effectively tone your hair without staining it.
- Read Instructions Carefully: Always read the product directions before use. Applying the shampoo as directed helps avoid leaving it on your hair too long, which can lead to staining.
- Moderate Application: Be cautious with the amount of shampoo you use. Applying too much can increase the risk of your hair absorbing excess pigment.
- Monitor Time: Avoid leaving purple shampoo in your hair for extended periods. Exceeding the recommended time, especially more than an hour, can cause the pigment to stain your hair.
Can purple shampoo be washed out?
Yes, if you accidentally leave purple shampoo on too long and don't like the result, don’t worry. Simply wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo, which will help tone down the silver or purple hue, bringing your hair closer to its natural color.
What reverses purple shampoo?
A clarifying shampoo is your go-to solution for reversing any unwanted purple tinge from purple shampoo. It effectively strips away excess pigment, restoring your hair to its intended shade with just a few washes.
Does your hair go back to normal after purple shampoo?
Yes, your hair will gradually return to its normal color. The purple tint from the shampoo isn’t permanent and will fade with regular washing. Simply cleanse your hair a few times with regular shampoo, and the pigment will start to diminish.
How Long Does It Take for Purple Shampoo to Fade?
The effects of purple shampoo, such as the silver or purple tint it can leave behind, are temporary and typically fade after one or two washes with regular shampoo. If you don’t want to wait, you can speed up the process by using a clarifying shampoo or a deep-cleansing treatment to remove the excess purple pigment from your hair more quickly.
Dealing with a purple shampoo mishap can be frustrating, but with the right steps, you can easily restore your hair to its desired tone. Remember, choosing a high-quality, salon-grade product like Parrotfish Purple Shampoo can help prevent these issues in the first place. And for complete care, pair it with the Parrotfish Purple Conditioner to keep your hair looking vibrant and healthy without any unwanted surprises.

Our bars are created with Sodium Coco Sulfate, a lathering agent that makes the shampoo sudsy. It is milder than Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate because it is derived from coconuts, not petroleum. Environmental Working Group's (EWG) certification for surfactants, Sodium Coco Sulfate, is rated a "1," the highest safety rating. Your hair is getting the best of both worlds because it effectively dissolves dirt and grease, but more gently, it is safe for colored hair, and you still get the sudsy lather we are all accustomed to. This helps the transition period from liquid to bar seamless.
How to Use
How to Use
Utilizing a purple shampoo bar comes with a straightforward yet effective method: either directly apply the damp bar onto your hair or create a lather in your palms first. Then, with care, work the shampoo bar through your scalp and hair, mimicking the application process of traditional liquid shampoos.
Each purple shampoo bar is meticulously encased in a bamboo holder for its protection during transit. It's crucial to remember, however, that this bamboo holder is not designed to serve as a soap dish. For the preservation and extended use of your shampoo bar, investing in an appropriate soap dish is vital. An ideal soap dish should raise the bar off its surface, allowing for proper air circulation and the draining away of any residual water. By adopting this practice, you can significantly enhance the durability of your purple shampoo bar, with it lasting anywhere between four to six months.
