The Matrix Total Results Brass Off Blue Shampoo is engineered to perform as a dual-action product: a regular cleansing shampoo and an intensive brass neutralizer. Its blue-violet pigments directly combat the orange and brassy undertones that can appear in lightened brunette hair, including balayage. Users typically notice a visible reduction in warmth and a shift towards cooler, more neutral brown tones after consistent use.
Preparation: Wet your hair thoroughly, just as you would with any shampoo.
Application: Apply a generous amount of shampoo to your hair. Lather well, ensuring even distribution, particularly in areas prone to brassiness.
Activation Time: For a light toning effect, massage into hair and rinse immediately. For more intense neutralization, leave the shampoo on for 3-5 minutes. The longer it stays on, the more blue-violet pigment is deposited, leading to stronger toning.
Rinsing: Rinse hair thoroughly until the water runs clear. Ensure no residue is left behind to prevent unwanted tinting or weighing down of hair.
Follow-up: For optimal results, especially regarding breakage reduction and enhanced conditioning, follow with the Matrix Total Results Brass Off Conditioner and Mask.
This shampoo is ideal for brunettes who have lightened their hair, whether through highlights, balayage, or an all-over lightening process, and wish to maintain a cool, non-brassy appearance. Its moisturizing properties also make it suitable for hair that tends to feel dry after lightening treatments.
Preparation: Ensure your hair is thoroughly wet before application.
Patch Test: As with any new color-depositing product, it's advisable to perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of hair (e.g., behind the ear or under a section of hair) 24 hours before full application, especially if you have sensitive skin or have not used toning shampoos before.
Gloves (Optional but Recommended): While not strictly necessary for brief contact, wearing gloves can prevent temporary staining of hands, especially if leaving the product on for an extended period.
Target Audience: This shampoo is specifically designed for lightened brunette hair and brunette balayage to neutralize orange and brassy tones. It is not formulated for yellow tones found in blonde hair.
System Compatibility: For best results and full benefits (including reduced breakage), it is highly recommended to use this shampoo in conjunction with the other products in the Matrix Total Results Brass Off system (Conditioner, Mask, Leave-in Cream).
Other Hair Products: Can be integrated into your existing hair care routine, but be mindful of using other color-depositing products simultaneously, which might affect the final tone.
Storage: Store the shampoo at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, and with the cap securely closed.
Rinsing: Always rinse your hair, hands, and shower surfaces thoroughly immediately after use to prevent any temporary blue tint or staining.
Frequency of Use: Use as needed to combat brassiness. For most, 1-2 times a week is sufficient, alternating with a regular shampoo. Adjust frequency based on your hair's needs and desired tone.
