FAQs
How often should I use this shampoo?
It is recommended to use the Elvive Color-Vive Purple Shampoo once a week to maintain cool tones without over-depositing color.
Can I use this on dark brown hair?
This shampoo is specifically designed for blonde, bleached, and grey hair; it will have little to no effect on dark brown hair.
Do I need to wear gloves?
While not strictly required, wearing gloves can prevent the purple pigment from temporarily staining your hands or fingernails.
Will this replace my regular shampoo?
No, this should be used as a supplementary treatment once a week alongside your normal shampoo and conditioner routine.
Is this safe for color-treated hair?
Yes, it is formulated specifically for color-treated, bleached, and highlighted hair to help preserve color health and tone.
Troubleshooting
My hair looks purple after using the shampoo.
Wash your hair with a clarifying or regular shampoo immediately to strip the excess violet pigment, and reduce the application time during your next session.
The product stained my bathroom tiles.
Use a bathroom cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water to gently scrub the affected area immediately after exposure.
My hair feels dry after use.
Ensure you follow up with a rich, nourishing conditioner or hair mask after rinsing out the purple shampoo.
