1. How does Purple Shampoo work?
Ugly Duckling's Purple Shampoo contains intense purple pigments.
Purple is the exact opposite of yellow on the color wheel (see below).
The purple pigments in the purple shampoo act to counteract yellowness in blonde hair.
By applying it, you can make blonde hair more white, and less yellow.
The Hair Color Wheel. Purple Neytralizes Yellow.
2. What about Purple Mask? Why do I need to use this in addition to Purple Shampoo?
Purple shampoo contains a lot of cleansing ingredients - it's a shampoo, after all.
Purple mask, on the other hand, is a pure hair in-salon conditioning treatment with purple toning added in.
It mask contains only toning & treatment agents as well as essential oils including Argan and Avocado oil.
It is therefore very suitable for leaving on the hair for an extended period of time (10 minutes, for example).
We recommend that you use both products if you can.
3. Who should use Purple Shampoo & Mask & When?
Ugly Duckling's Purple Shampoo and Mask can be used at the backwash, straight after bleaching or coloring.
This is a good way of getting hair whiter and cancel yellow pigments.
Purple Shampoo and Mask can also be used as maintenance products, to keep blonde hair white and yellow-free.
When using as a post bleaching or coloring product, rub in thoroughly and be generous with the quantity of product used.
When used as a maintenance product, we recommend you use it a couple of times a week, or whenever the hair looks like it is in danger of getting yellow.
Any women with hair which is blonde level 9 and up can use Purple Shampoo and Mask.
Women with naturally white (grey) hair can also use it to keep hair white and stop grey and yellow tints from showing on it.
Women with blonde highlights can also use Ugly Duckling purple shampoo and mask.
It will not stain low lights or a darker base underneath.
4. Do Purple Hair Products Stain the hair or turn the hair purple?
It is true that many purple treatment products on the market stain the hair purple.
Not only the hair - also white towels and white pillow cases.
With some of these staining products, consumers are obliged to only apply on dry hair. Or only apply small amounts at a time.
However, Ugly Duckling Purple Shampoo and Mask do not stain - no matter how much you use and whether the hair is wet or dry..
In fact, we do encourage that you apply on wet hair, as you can see in our videos.
And also that you use fairly large quantities.
This is what allows the transfer of purple anti-yellowing pigments to take place from the product onto your hair.
The fact that Brilliant Blonde Purple Shampoo and Mask do not stain is one of the major reasons that hairdressers use these products.
5. Which are the best Purple Products?
We do recommend Ugly Duckling Purple Shampoo and Mask over other purple products for a few reasons:
1. They tone really efficiently without staining.
2. They are sulfate-free. Which means they are very gentle and can be used as often as you like.
3. Ugly Duckling purple shampoo and mask are acidic formulations. This is very rare even among professional haircare products.
It means that the products will help close the cuticle and return the hair to its regular acidity.
4. They are professional products. Stylists can use them at the backwash straight after bleaching.

10. Is Purple Shampoo and Mask only for Caucasian hair or Blonde European hair types?
Not at all. It can be used for any hair - even very dark hair - that has been lifted to blonde.
In the pictures below, you can see a Hispanic model, who came in with level 4 dark brown hair.
We lifted it all the way up to level 10, and toned and then we used Purple Shampoo and Mask to tone it some more.
