I’ve used two bottles of it and I think it’s overrated and it doesn’t really work

It was so drying and it didn’t work for my hair at all, waste of $60 💀

Hairdresser here - try the k18 triple bright. It will tone your hair and brighten it at the same time without dulling it like normal purple shampoo x

As a stylist I agree with the K18 triple bright. That stuff is amazing but also I think you could be a bronde girly. Get some low lights and tone the blonde to a more honey color and it would be so pretty.

K-18 triple bright will keep your blind bright 🤩 and won’t over tone or grey it out. I thi k you need more contrast. The ends of your hair are too blocky with not enough dimension but i honestly do t recommend adding lowlights because they will always wash out orange no matter what. But you need a bit more balance near the root

Clarifying shampoo!

L’Oréal platinum hair gloss !

The Color Wow Dream Filter Pre-Shampoo Spray is good for removing some of the dark brassiness that comes with old blonde! But yes I have the same problem as you - especially my ends 😭

girl I’ve been a fake blonde for years and I’m TELLING YOU - Loreal metal detox shampoo (does what the k18 one does but better and cheaper and also combats aus hard water in the shower) and less of a root shadow. If you want a good toner, Christophe robin baby blonde mask is the goat, but tbh you don’t even need to tone that often w the metal detox shampoo. easy problem to fix, you’ve got this

honestly, I use it like every wash/second wash - it’s not too stripping if you live in a city that has hard water, it’s way more helpful to use it more frequently if you do. The shampoo foams up super well so I don’t need much at all, so it lasts ages. it’s a bit exxy to use it frequently, but you can buy it way cheaper from salon grade stores - I got mine from here [link removed]

L’Oréal metal detox shampoo brings my blonde back to life again because all the build up & heavy metals in the water cleans it all out 🥰

The triple bright did NOTHING to my hair. We ended up needing to use MalibuC and a bunch of other things. The Lorel metal sexton didn’t do anything either.

malibu hard water shampoo saved my blonde hair!

Yeah I have plenty of low lights and when I got it done it looked beautiful that milky vanilla against brown was so gorgeous now it’s just muted brassy dull against brown so it’s swamp water :( I did have some luck with Malibu hard water shampoo it looks brighter now but still yellow lol. Let us know when you figure it out girl!!

Don’t use the k18!! Just got my hair done last month and went dull so fast. I bought the k18 thinking it would make my hair brighter but it dulled it down even more.. get Malibu c hard water shampoo and treatment and the joico bright blonde shampoo. Solved my problem!

I recommend all my blonde clients to stay away from purple shampoo as it makes the blonde dull. There’s a product called baby blonde by Christoph robin and it’s a purple treatment but doesn’t leave a residue just tones the yellow but keeps it creamy x

get the kerastase blond mask!

Hairdresser here too - Try the Kerastase Premiere range particularly the pre treatment and shampoo with the mask. Calcium build up is so uneducated about, especially if you’re feeling dull after fresh hair

I’d recommend booking in a basin balayage & toner! This will help to brighten your blonde again. If you haven’t had your ends lightened in a long time (assuming you haven’t cos your a low maintenance girl) over time your ends will go dull so they just need a lil extra help to brighten again! X

It looks like you need more highlights. Maybe try to ask for a heavier foil so it’s blonde.

I feel like your blonde lacks dimension, you need more blonde at your root and a softer more blended foil placement. From a hairdresser

get highlights with a root tap not a root smudge/root stretch. You’ll get more longevity as it grows. Highlights overall just tend to dull out unfortunately. And based on your natural I can tell you lift well so don’t get a toner. Toners will fade out & go brassy.

you need some lowlights to break those ends up and give them some contrast so the blonde pops. id also ask for a root tap not a stretch, it's not as lived in but grows out so much better!

As a hairdresser you could have your ends lightened to the point were you have little natural in between, but your risk your hair condition

Also it doesn’t blend anything. It just looks like a root tap on top of highlights.

show your hairdresser your inspiration pics 😊 you just need some dimension in there so some low-lights and a different toner 😊 putting some dimension in will make your blonde pop more.

yesss that’s what i said she just needs some lowlights

Some low lights would break up the blonde and make it look brighter

This happens to me ALL the time!! I swear the blonde is only nice for a week, I believe it’s just not been lifted enough and you can’t fix it without more bleach :((

Hairdressers aren’t lightening your hair enough and then they just put a toner over it. The toner washes out and then you are back to being brassy. It’s their way of getting you back into the salon more regularly.

Everyone’s giving great advice with products but truly your hair isn’t being lifted light enough before the toning process also there’s a line between all over blonde and baby lights by roots. I recommend added more slices of level 9 blonde. It has a green undertone because they’re toning yellow blonde hair

No literally once I wash it ONE time after getting it done, it’s no longer blonde blonde. It’s not as bright and it’s super golden. I hate ittttt

Hey girl hairdresser here, it could be many many reasons but, it could actually also be the colour brand the hairdresser is using. If its a brand that is adjusting your base colour when it’s being toned this can be the outcome after a few washes xx

Hmm yeah I do wonder if it’s a lifting issue in salon then and nothing you’re doing at home. If you’ve covered all bases that’s I’d say next. The stylist is not lifting your blonde light enough and popping a toner on it to act as bandaid then when you wash it next it starts to expose the warmth. But it also depends on if your hair can handle being lifted light enough for the tone you’re after too 😊

Girl don’t waste your money on that, I promise you it’s not worth $60. The key to having bright blonde that doesn’t look dull / dull quickly is actually asking your stylist not to tone your hair. Ask them to lift your hair so that’s it’s a nice bright blonde, skip the toner, and also use dry shampoo on your roots when your hair starts to grow out as that will make them look lighter so it all blends much nicer xx

I feel like some hairdressers don’t lift it enough, when I used to get foils over 10 years ago they would use bleach in the whole foil. I’ve started doing it myself and I’m so much brighter.

This was happening to me, I changed to another hairdresser it made the difference.

Thank you lovely!! Yes, I find before I’m even washing it after I’ve had it done it’s changing colour like going brassy or orange in certain areas so strange

Thank you for the tips!! They did a tip out on the ends at my last appointment. It’s like a walk away from my hair appointments and then blonde literally starts to darken or turn brassy overnight 😅 I use heat protection and probably only heat style once a week. I’d love to do something like this but I wonder how it would fade out, if it would be a pain or not

We have a really good water filter, this happens before I even wash my hair sometimes 😅 x

From what I can see in your vid, you’re dark naturally and your hair looks like it wants to lift quite yellow, so your stylist would need to make sure they’re getting a really clean lift, if it’s not clean they’re relying on a toner to neutralise the yellow which may make it look flatter. It also looks like you’d be better off getting your blonde closer to the root, the technique itself possibly isn’t the best for your hair type and natural colour. I’m a blonde and balayage specialist btw x

I’m a hairdresser and it’s because they aren’t lifting up your ends in the basin when rinsing out your root taps/shadow roots or lowlights. (Do you notice in the vid how your hair is much blonder at the top and darker on the ends?) Also you need to use a detox shampoo inbetween to keep it bright. Otherwise might be going darker on the ends if you use a lot of heat and it’s slowly breaking the blonde off on the bottom and leaving your unhighlited natural hair left so it appears darker

I finally found a good hair colourist and she works from home but I remember when I first saw her she was like “you have all this lightening but it looks so murky??”

Light brown with light blonde highlights

Ask for butter blonde

maybe a more caramel bronde blend with lighter blonde highlights around the face would make it less noticeable with your natural regrowth colour. it would look gorgeous on you xx

8gi,8vb and 7t if you have orange. Trust me it’s gorgeous.

It’s too close to the skin tone. She has mostly warm undertones for her skin which sort of make sense as to why it feels warm to her.

you said in this video you find your hair to be brassy right now, so I 100% think you will find this warm blonde too orange

Your natural hair color will always look the best. Looks like you need to be darker?

Everyone saying ashy, I actually think you should go for a creamier blonde colour and bring it up higher! But from the comments finding a good blonde specialist in Aus is hard which sucks 😭 and don’t listen to anyone saying go darker, blonde suits you so much!!

I’m not feeling that color, I feel like you would look stunning in a warm hazelnut brown with face framing highlights. And baby lights spread out in your hair. I think the all over blond versus the roots will always make it look more dull. I’m feeling like a Jennifer Aniston color on you would look 💯

You’ve become to solid blonde looking on too much of your hair, so it is a really stark contrast with your root color, even though the roots aren’t harsh lines… the color differences are harsh! You need to bring a little more of your natural into your mids, and focus the super light blonde in the very front and on your ends! 🥰

I think the contrast is just too stark

Your base is too dark for this colour. I would go more bronze so the regrowth isn’t so contrasting. Hairdresser here. This colour to me washes you out

it’s the same as every other purple shampoo and makes it just as dull, and sooo drying unfortunately. wish i didn’t waste my money on the hype

Hey lovely, I did this for years and was told by and hairdressers to stop so I haven’t for a long while .. a lot of hairdressers in these comments are saying the same thing

Using purple shampoo will make blonde dingy. Use k18 brightening shampoo

it’s the same as every other purple shampoo and makes it just as dull, and sooo drying unfortunately. wish i didn’t waste my money on the hype

I’ve noticed haha, I however do for my clients who don’t like bright or golden blondes 😂 I use it on myself too cus I want an ashy as blonde lol

Starting doing a toner at home. I had the same problem. I do one about 4 weeks after I get it done.

Detox shampoo and purple shampoo once a month

Yesss I feel the same way like something has changed haha. I also do full head then half head. Someone said below that it could be because they use a gloss and I’ve noticed they’ve been doing that with my hair.. I dunno but also I’m sure all of these people I’ve gone too which are great salons are amazing, at this point in not sure what it is haha

Yep I’ve never used gloss toners try them the other day and I notice it dull down the colour a bit it was a nice colour but I thought to myself this is going to not wash off the best where are you located?

I feel like I seen you come up in a well know hairdresser tiktok I could be wrong but I notice they use gloss toners, I try a gloss toner the other day and I found it was a nice toner but I could tell it was going to wash off dull after hairdressing for so many years you can just tell how a toner going to fade hard to explain but I’m wondering if it’s the toners x

It’s tone selection….when toners fade they leave a residue and over time it builds up and looks dull and brassy….when looking for a colourist consultation is key if they can’t explain to you in detail why you can’t achieve a result they probably don’t have the necessary knowledge

cool colours will always look dull, warmth is what makes blonde bright, its colour theory!

when you say it goes yucky after a while it's because the cooler tone of your initial toner fades to a dull colour

Shower filter - old house pipes used to make mine go so brassy instantly

get a filtered shower head

Get a water filter for your shower and use a Metal detox shampoo!!

Shower filter, metal detox, and don’t use ANY purple Shampoo!!! I think personally you need to be lifted slightly longer as it’s still quite dark and I personally would be toning you more neutral or even slightly warmer rather then ashy

Shower filter, use clarifying shampoo at least 2 times a month to remove build up but wait a little while after u get ur hair done so u don’t strip it or any toner you had done, make sure to use a clear hair oil if u use any like verb ghost oil try a blonding shampoo like L’Oréal blondifier or any other ones, purple shampoo only does so much, also Moroccan oil purple hair oil is good too if ur not using a clear one, use a spray with SPF so your hair doesn’t get brassy also but just make sure to look at ingredients that won’t react with chlorine especially in the summer and also color wow dream filter before showering once in awhile too

its probably your water. invest in a shower filter. lowes has them for $40. and redkens cleansing cream also $40. it removes the impurities. you do the cleansing cream once every 3 weeks, and then follow up with a purple or blue shampoo/dish

it removes 3 months worth hard water minerals which can really make the hair brandy and dull. it 100 percent works x

it’s hard water build up. your other option is lowlights to contrast the lightness. but based on what s bothering you, it’s 100% hard water build up

Hey hairdresser here! If you have hard water that makes it go dull sooo quick. Just because you have filters on your shower doesn’t mean it softens the water. Yes it removes some minerals and chlorine but a lot doesn’t actually soften it. I have a client that’s naturally silver and her ends go nearly orange for no reason at all. And after months of research and trail and error I found a thread about water softening and her hair has never been better. But I’ve heard the k18 shampoo is amazing so I’m curious to try.

Yes I’ve heard this!! The only thing is mine goes darker and brassy before I even wash it

Yess mee too! It’s gotta be the water!

Are you in perth? I sweeeeear it’s the water (regardless of a filter) 😂

Do you live in Perth?? I just moved here and the water turned my blonde this colour! Even with a water filter!

Oh it’s a real thing having regret when you go from blonde to dark! I know that feeling

Oo yeah I had the same problem being blonde my hair would get so brassy so quick didn’t think I’d ever go back brown but honestly regret not doing it sooner and I feel like 100% you would suit it

That’s why I have gone darker.

Yep this is why I actually don’t really enjoy getting my hair done. Only looks the way I want for 2-3 weeks max.

i swear something changed in the formula. i used to be able to bleach my hair and it would be actually bleached? now it’s dark again on a month. that’s doesn’t add up

Hey girly! My hair looks extra dark in this video I think it’s the lighting, I’ve had blonde blonde hair previously and no issues it’s just the past 12 months something is happening x

Find this girl on here she’s Kiwi does her own and it looks great. I’d link it cos I was super impressed but I now am of the age that I’m accepting my grey era so I didn’t need it but damn if I did I would follow her lead in this current economy

The best thing I ever did was start growing out my natural colour, I know just get a cut with a toner but once my hair is fully grown back to my natural I’ll just be leaving it, I’ve saved sooo much money. Crazy thing is I’m already blonde but yet would always dye my hair back to blonde 🤷🏼‍♀️

Unfortunately hair will always fade,there are free radicals, uv, heat from sun and heat tools etc that will forever compromise the hair.. long blonde hair is hard to maintain, you said you use good products which is amazing but they can also be the wrong ones for your hair. Long hair is usually porous on the ends which means the cuticle doesn’t close fully this allows colour to escape quicker.

Two things: bleached hair is about lack of pigment, if there’s barely any pigment, it relies on its environment to decide its tone and brightness. Similar to how blue eyes change depending on the lighting. Or bleach your ends lighter

In addition to everyone else, it also happens with age /:

It’s the products you’re using! I too am blonde and only go to the salon maybe twice a year. Cause the products i use are scalp focused and my hair is now that healthy, it actually holds the colour longer, it’s shinier. Want to save money & the health of your hair?

Are you using heat on your hair? I’ve noticed you’ve said it happens before you wash it post appointment which could be from using heat invest in a really good heat protectant and use it every single time your putting heat on your hair it will save your life!!! Also using heat styling tools on a lower setting - using heat on a high setting even once straight after your appointment can cause the colour to change

Yeah I find that too, I curl my hair quite often and it looks nice because of the dimension but it shouldn’t look old and brassy with every other style 😅xx

do blowouts, even when my blondes look somewhat brassy when i do a blowout it looks so good

Also working in the sun or being outdoors alot makes the toners fade so fast - I noticed that really made a difference for me

It looks like the bottom of your hair is discolored- I’d guess mineral sunscreen, are you outside wearing sunscreen a lot? Make sure your hair is up. This can be brightened up by a stylist with a Malibu treatment and retoned, and your stylist can get you a great clarifying product to use from time to time.

I shower pretty hot but I only wet my hair when I wash it and I dial the heat back when I wash my hair x

great, the cooler you can take it the less it will fade, as hot water opens the cuticle... it sounds like you're doing everything right! 🤔

Yes for freshen up I changer 310 usually. That’s good price you get it for! unfortunately some the colour I buy (redken) has gone up over 40% since COVID that why hair is so expensive now 😢

Full Head with tip outs glosses & style cut I charge 430 🫶🏻

Yes for freshen up I changer 310 usually. That’s good price you get it for! unfortunately some the colour I buy (redken) has gone up over 40% since COVID that why hair is so expensive now 😢

$700!? my girl does this to my hair everytime for $150 wow! its pretty but I see what you're saying.. I dont think you should be paying this amount just find someone else.. wow

Literally same! I’m over it! $500 for what!? I swear they’re not lifting it enough or leaving it enough

Your hair looking like this a month later for $700 is crazyyyyyy

$700 four weeks ago, she .ost definitely should not need them tipped out agian.. thats insane

I think we all need to reevaluate the margins for this 700 wide margins for the hairdressers they r quite price gouging us

It’s a scam !!!!!!!!! I’ve given up on salons 😭😭😭

Hairdressers are scamming you

I hate to say it but I feel like a lot of Australian hairdressers have no idea how to make beautiful blondes. I went to Arizona. I paid $100. I got half head of foils and my hair was so creamy blonde I come to Australia I pay 500 and I’m like grey blonde like an old lady. I’m like why can’t you make me creamy blonde and say it’s because my hair is to dark.. 🙄 need to find a good blonde expert

Yep it’s always DULL and ashy and weird!!! And then you come back for them to fix it and leave WAYYYYYY WORSE or you leave extremely bleach blonde when you want an expensive caramel blonde!

That is sooo interesting! I’ve actually had multiple experiences in Australia with different stylists who lifted my hair to this weird murky washed out blonde

Same in Europe! Looks like I have greys. Idk why but American hairdressers know their shit

I agree! My hair looks amazing in the USA I’ve had great experiences in la I can reccomend this guy Joey frank at manduosalon in Hollywood! Was really happy with his blonde!!

Scottsdale he was amazing I’m not sure where exactly it’s in this big mall the main mall there! I was like creamy white blonde was amazing

I think hairdressers can hardly do blonde in Australia it’s their training! I’ve had my hair done in Texas and Paris and it was gorgeous I think it’s the training!

as a 15 year blonde, hairdressers no longer lift our hair high enough and they just cover it with toners…. I have only ever had one hairdresser that did blonde right and never went brassy and she was in Camden, i’ve given up now. I also have paid $700+ and it’s never done right

I’m the same and it’s so shit

Mine does the same thing

I just got mine done just a month ago and it looks like it’s been monthsss!

Omg this is happening to me too! And I get the money pieces so I’m still bright at the front but they grow out so fast and it looks so bad !

this happens to me too!! I feel like my blondes are never bright enough and they don’t last

I’ve had super light hair, love being blonde but for some reason it’s just not lifting or staying the same anymore x

How annoying is it?! I used to love my blondes but now I feel like they go yucky within a week 😅
