FAQs
How often should I use the Violet Crush Purple Conditioner?
For best results, use the conditioner 1-2 times per week. You can adjust the frequency based on how quickly brassy tones reappear in your hair. Avoid daily use to prevent over-toning.
Can this conditioner be used on dark brown hair?
No, this conditioner is specifically designed for blonde, bleached, or highlighted hair. It works by neutralizing yellow and brassy tones. On dark brown hair, it will likely have no visible effect or could potentially add an unwanted subtle tone.
Will this conditioner lighten my hair?
This conditioner does not contain lightening agents. Its purpose is to neutralize brassy tones and enhance the coolness of existing blonde shades, not to change the base color of your hair.
What does 'Crushed Violet Pigments' mean?
This refers to the finely milled violet color particles within the conditioner. These pigments are designed to counteract yellow and orange tones, which are common in blonde hair, by depositing a small amount of violet color.
Is this product safe for colored blonde hair?
Yes, the John Frieda Violet Crush Purple Conditioner is color-safe and formulated to help maintain the vibrancy of colored blonde hair without stripping the dye.
Can I use this if my hair is naturally blonde but not bleached?
Yes, if your natural blonde hair tends to develop warm or brassy tones, especially due to sun exposure or environmental factors, this conditioner can help cool down those tones.
What is the difference between this conditioner and a purple shampoo?
Shampoos are typically used for cleansing, while conditioners are used for moisturizing and detangling. Purple shampoos offer a toning effect during cleansing. This purple conditioner provides toning benefits while also conditioning the hair, and is often used after a purple shampoo for enhanced results or on its own for maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Hair appears too purple or grey
You may have left the conditioner on for too long or your hair is very porous. Reduce the leave-on time in subsequent applications. Rinse immediately if you notice excessive purple tones developing.
Brassy tones are not sufficiently neutralized
Ensure you are using the conditioner consistently (1-2 times per week). Try leaving it on for the full 5 minutes, or slightly longer if you perform a strand test first. Using the coordinating Violet Crush Purple Shampoo can also enhance results.
Hair feels dry or heavy
While moisturizing, some users may need additional hydration. Ensure you are rinsing thoroughly. Consider alternating with a deeply hydrating conditioner if dryness persists. The silicone-free formula may require complementary moisturizing products for very dry hair types.
Product is difficult to rinse out
Ensure you are using adequate water and rinsing until the water runs clear. If residue remains, you may be using too much product. Adjust the amount used per application.
