FAQs
How often should I use the Matrix Total Results Brass Off Shampoo?
It is recommended to use 1-2 times per week, or as needed, to maintain your desired cool tones. Adjust frequency based on your hair's needs and how quickly brassiness returns.
Can I use this shampoo on uncolored hair?
While it's designed for color-treated hair, it can be used on natural hair with brassy undertones. However, the toning effect might be less noticeable, and excessive use might impart a subtle cool tint if your hair is very light.
What is the difference between a purple shampoo and a blue shampoo like Brass Off?
Purple shampoos primarily neutralize yellow tones, often found in blonde hair. Blue shampoos, like Brass Off, are more effective against orange and red/orange tones, which are common in lightened brunette hair or 'cool reds'.
Is this shampoo safe for daily use?
Due to its toning properties, daily use is generally not recommended unless specifically advised by a professional. Overuse can lead to over-toning or dryness. Stick to 1-2 times per week.
Does this product contain sulfates?
> Info needed: Product description does not specify sulfate content. Check the product's ingredient list for exact details.
Can men use this product?
Yes, hair toning is not gender-specific. Anyone experiencing brassy, orange, or yellow tones in their hair can use this product effectively, regardless of gender.
Troubleshooting
Hair appears purple or too dark after use.
This indicates over-toning. Reduce leave-in time during the next wash, or dilute the shampoo with a regular shampoo. For immediate correction, wash with a clarifying shampoo.
Brassy tones are not completely neutralized.
Ensure the shampoo is evenly distributed. Increase the leave-in time slightly (up to 5 minutes) in subsequent washes. Consider using the full Brass Off system (shampoo and conditioner) for enhanced results.
Hands are stained blue/purple.
Always wear gloves during application. If staining occurs, wash hands immediately with soap and water. A mild abrasive like baking soda paste can help remove stubborn stains.
Hair feels dry after use.
Follow with a hydrating conditioner, preferably the Matrix Total Results Brass Off Conditioner, which is designed to complement the shampoo. Ensure you're not using the product too frequently or leaving it on for excessively long periods.
