Meine hellbraun gefärbten haare haben einen leichten orangene und kupfrigen Schimmer. Habe es einmal verwendet ,sehe keinen großen unterschied und werde es wohl 2mal in der Woche anwenden , wie empfohlen. Das Shampoo ist sehr pflegend, die Haare glänzen .Das alles Blau gefärbt wird ,Kopfhaut ,Dusche u.s.w , kann ich nicht feststellen. Die Haarkur ist sehr wahrscheinlich sinnvoll und werde sie bestellen.

If you’ve ever dabbled in the world of blond highlights, you know the struggle with those pesky brassy tones that seem to pop up out of nowhere. That’s where the Matrix Brass Off Blue Shampoo steps in, promising to refresh and neutralize unwanted orange hues in your hair. My daughter gave this shampoo a whirl last summer when her beautiful blonde highlights began to fade into an orangey mess. With a simple application and a brief wait time of just a minute or two, she noticed a significant reduction in the orangish tones, transforming them into a more appealing light brown/dirty blond shade.
The process is straightforward – shampoo, let it sit, and rinse. It’s that easy to fight off the brassiness. This shampoo could be a game-changer for those struggling to maintain their desired blonde tone without frequent trips to the salon. However, it’s also a reminder of the upkeep blonde hair requires. My daughter eventually decided to return to her brunette roots, concluding that the blonde life was too high-maintenance for her taste. But, for anyone wrestling with orange hues post-coloring, toning with this shampoo might be the solution you’ve been looking for.
In terms of price, considering the salon-quality results and the amount of time you can save on professional toning treatments, it’s a worthy investment for maintaining your hair color at home. Just remember, while it’s great for occasional use to combat brassiness, relying solely on a color-depositing shampoo for your hair health and color maintenance might not be the best long-term strategy. Always consider using it as part of a broader hair care regimen tailored to colored hair.
In conclusion, Matrix Brass Off Blue Shampoo is a practical solution for anyone looking to extend the life of their blonde highlights and combat those inevitable brassy tones. It’s easy to use, effective, and can save you both time and money in the long run. Whether you’re a seasoned blonde or experimenting with lighter tones, it’s worth giving this shampoo a try.

Not sure why the mediocre reviews- clearly expecting more than they’ve pay for.
The shampoo works very very well for a SHAMPOO. It is not bleach or a colour stripper- however it is the most effective and gentle route to correct colour I’ve found. My hair has been coloured black for years, after bleaching and going red I was left with so many brassy tones as it grew out.
For best results I’ve found brushing your hair before showering, wetting hair as your brush and then brushing the shampoo in, leaving for as long as you can and then washing out works best. The after photo is three washes over a week which I’m over joyed about as nothing else I’ve done has touched the brassy colour. Couldn’t recommend more. FYI it is very pigmented to ensure to wash hands and use a dark towel 🙂

Shampoo for my hair
Amazon Customer –
Im trying to grow my glitter out naturally without the harsh chemicals of haircolor or bleach. I ordered just the mask first. Left it on for 10 min and rinsed out. Results: still a bit brassy orange for my liking (see 1st photo to left). I did the mask a second time and left it on for 15 min. The results were better but still had some orange tone (see 2nd photo) I ordered the Matrix Brass off shampoo to accompany the mask. I washed my hair with the blue shampoo and left on for about 3 min while in the shower, rinsed and rung out my hair, applied the Matrix Brass off mask, clipped my hair up and left it on for the remainder of my shower, approx 10 min. I am in LOVE with the results!! My hair is shiny, feels and looks conditioned and silky soft! To my fellow silver sisters I highly recommend this if you’re looking to grow your hair out without having to sacrifice length and cut the brassy orange grow out from years of highlighting this is the product to get!

Ik heb meerdere shampoos gebruikt om het rood uit mijn bruine haar te houden. Dit is de eerste waarbij mijn haar niet volledig uitdroogt en mijn haar ziet er daardoor nu veel gezonder uit

Lo uso para neutralizar visos cobrizos en mi cabello castaño, me deja el cabello suave y muy bonito, no me lo reseca en lo absoluto. Lo volveré a comprar.

The product worked well. I wish the lid would have been sealed or taped somehow. It ended up opening in the package and getting all over the other item the package. It’s highly concentrated purple/ blue toner. Waste of product and too bad the other item was meant to be a birthday gift.
I was asked to return it and have another bottle sent but it was going to arrive too late. Maybe Amazon can consider using tape to seal the lid with the high possibility of ruining other items.

BLUE CONFIRMED: This is actually a blue shampoo. It’s not a dark purple shampoo, which hardly does much to cancel out orange-yellow (or sometimes even yellow-orange) tones. There is a slight violet pigment mixed in, but the product is definitely way more blue than purple. It is the darkest blue shampoo I’ve been able to find, and it’s strong. Without a doubt, it’s meant to neutralize brassiness (orange or copper-like tones) in brunette hair colors. I found it *can* be used with some “dark blonde” hair color – with a few caveats:
• When I say “dark blonde,” I mean dark hair that has been lightened to a yellow-orange shade at most. If you were able to lighten your hair to a VERY PALE mostly yellow, but slightly muted pumpkin color (before applying any dye/toner), and a purple shampoo isn’t helping you neutralize unwanted warmth… then you might want to try mixing this blue shampoo with a purple shampoo first. Otherwise, you’ll risk building up a subtle green tone, which will be most noticeable under sunlight. (I’ll explain more below if you feel like reading.)
• I would not recommend this on someone who has naturally dark blonde hair (virgin hair) because I just don’t know if you have the orange to red underlying pigments that brunettes have. Just the same, I’m not sure how this product would affect someone with natural light ginger hair color. I’ve only used it on my very dark brown hair after lightening (bleaching), then dying, then toning.
• Different hair color brands may consider “dark blonde” to be a different level. What one brand considers “dark blonde,” another may consider “very light brown.” I found “dark blonde/very light brown” colors usually fall at or between a level 7 and 6 for most brands. (I personally favor Wella Professionals Koleston and Color Touch hair colors. However, I have used other brands and Wella products from a popular beauty supply store that doesn’t always sell the best stuff.)
• I’m hesitant to recommend this product to someone who has hair that has been lightened and dyed to a level 7 color that appears more dark blonde and that would unlikely be mistaken for a very light brown. (I’m more hesitant if your hair is damaged or very porous in any areas). I feel it’s safe for someone with a level 6 color to use, even if the brand calls it a dark blonde color. (It’s all about the annoying underlying pigment that keeps trying to fight its way thru!)
• If you have light blonde highlights or a balayage, I would try to find a dark purple shampoo… or just be very careful with how you use this blue shampoo. (I had to figure out how to manage yellow & copper tones when I had balayage hair. I have some tips on that below.)
OVERALL OPINION: This shampoo can be VERY drying, but it does temporarily help neutralize brassy hair (various ranges of warmth containing a fair amount of orange or copper tones) to a neutral or cool tone. This is supposed to help reduce damage to lightened/color-treated hair because it extends the time you can wait before undergoing another chemical process. It’s strong and it works better than the 4-5 other “blue shampoos” I’ve tried (which were more “dark purple than blue”) and the one failed blue food coloring + shampoo or conditioner hack. Depending on the condition and color of your hair, you may only need to use this once a week. Or you may find yourself using it every other time you wash your hair.
I have used it on my hair when it was in various conditions, from mostly healthy to severely damaged. If you have porous hair, the pigment in this shampoo will grab quickly. It may not wash out completely either (if your hair is totally fried.) Sometimes it helps to leave this shampoo on a little longer than directed. But do so at your own risk. Because it can stain your skin. (I found this out the hard way. I stained my forehead, neck, and hands. But I left it on for a long time. Everything scrubbed away after 1-2 days.)
PERSONAL EXPERIENCES FOR ADDITIONAL REFERENCE: I’m not a licensed professional. Nor have I ever been to any kind of beauty school. I basically decided to do my own hair out of boredom one day. I had very dark virgin hair (a tad darker than a level 3). I’m half Korean, so my hair can really take a beating. I had already paid 2 professionals. I wanted to be a “dirty blonde.” (I think it might be every Asian girl/woman’s dream to achieve natural looking blonde hair at least once in their life.) The 1st professional was too afraid to lighten my hair so she did “baby lights,” which barely made a change. The 2nd totally botched my hair.
Despite being half Korean and not being able to hold a curl more than a minute, I know my thick and stubborn hair will lighten rapidly. But no one seemed to listen. The 2nd professional ended up trying to correct the splotchy pale yellow and white mess she made of my hair by coloring over it. However, she somehow took my hair back to it’s original color… except it was very flat looking.
After wasting around $300 for nothing, I decided to just have fun and do things myself. I used Color Oops to strip the dye out. I was left with the same splotchy mess, except it was dark orange.
I went thru multiple processes of lightening and bleach bathes until I got the consistent very pale yellow pumpkin shade I needed. I dyed my hair the dirty blonde I wanted. But I had no idea how to keep up with it. I kept touching up my roots every other week and toning. I eventually took my hair to the lightest blonde I could (level 9) and learned about the miracle of purple shampoo.
I eventually grew tired of the light color and attempted to dye my hair light brown. I didn’t know I needed to add some warmth back, so my hair turned out a muddy green gray color. I had to strip it and bleach it again.
Long story short, I chemically processed the heck out of my hair for over a year before I got it right. I had to baby the lower thirds because it felt like moosh after one bleach disaster. I achieved a light ash brown that I wanted to maintain. My purple shampoo had no effect. I tried other “blue” shampoos and some at home hacks I found online. Then I began using this blue shampoo.
It worked, but it was too drying for my damaged hair. Also, the bottom part of my hair was so fried and porous that it seemed to instantly soak up all the pigment from this shampoo and became stained. I had to carefully use a gentle bleach bath to get most of the blue out.
(That part of my hair could hardly hold any dye so I ended up having an unintentional, but nice looking ombre color for several months.) I’d have to carefully comb this shampoo thru the upper part of my wet hair, then quickly scrub for cleaning – being careful not to let so much run thru the lower lengths of my hair – before rinsing off. It was tedious to do, but it was really all I could do unless I wanted to chop my hair really short. I sometimes soaked the bottom part of my hair in oils before washing, but that didn’t seem to help much. I just had to be careful not to let this settle on the extremely porous lenths of my hair for more than 30 seconds to avoid staining that part.
I ended up switching to the Matrix Brass Off hair mask, since I couldn’t handle how brittle and dry my hair had become. I found I had to leave the mask on longer, but it allowed me to have more control over how much pigment soaked into the really damaged parts of my hair. It allowed me to wash my entire hair with a very gentle & moisturizing shampoo. Then I could condition my hair, wring it out, dry it even more with a towel, and comb the mask thru the parts that needed it. If it got on some of the lower ends I could wipe it off with my hands or rinse it off. It wasn’t a big deal because it took longer for the mask to leave behind blue pigment than this shampoo. I would occassionally (rarely) go thru the hassle of using this shampoo when I felt the mask just wasn’t doing enough.
After cutting off all the very damaged parts a year later, I accidentally over lightened my hair again. This time it’s healthy, just lighter than I wanted. It’s a light-medium natural brown. However, I still experienced the problem of the dreaded orange town slowly peaking thru my dye no matter how gentle of a shampoo I used. Then I found this bottle of blue shampoo deep in my cabinet. I thought it might be too old to work, but nope! It still works. I do still find it drying, but I only have to use it 1-2 times a week at most since my hair is pretty healthy and can hold color evenly now. Once I get enough blue pigment on my hair, I can use the shampoo once in a week. (I currently wash my hair everyday to every other day, depending on how much styling products I’ve used.)
*OH! When using either the blue shampoo or mask, you may want to have a dedicated towel that you don’t mind getting stained. If you have dark towels, you should be fine. I’ll write a review on the mask later. Personally, I prefer the mask because it’s not drying. But if you have healthy hair and a great deep conditioner, this shampoo is superior as far as cutting out the brass.

This product works really well. It took the brassy color out of my hair so I can go long between coloring my hair. It is sulfate free so it is gentle on your hair color. I use it one a week! Smells great too!
