| How To Get Brass Out Of Hair |
Step 1: Embrace the Purple Power
Yes, you read that right. Purple isn't just for royalty and grape soda anymore. Enter the magical world of purple shampoo. This magical elixir is packed with violet pigments that act like tiny ninjas, sneaking into your hair and silently strangling those unwanted brassy tones. But be warned, with great power comes great responsibility (and the potential for lilac locks). Don't go overboard, use it once or twice a week, and always follow up with a regular conditioner to keep your hair happy.
QuickTip: Break down long paragraphs into main ideas.
Pro Tip: Not all blondes are created equal. If your brass leans more orange, consider a blue shampoo. It's like a cooler cousin to purple, perfect for neutralizing those stubborn tangerine tones.
Step 2: Mask It Up, Buttercup
Tip: Reread tricky sentences for clarity.
Purple shampoo is great for maintenance, but for a deeper brass-banishing treatment, a purple hair mask is your BFF. Think of it as a supercharged version of the shampoo, packing a bigger punch of pigment to really knock out those brassy foes. Apply it generously, throw on a shower cap and your most fabulous face mask (because why not?), and relax for a bit. Just remember, even the most fabulous things can be overdone, so follow the instructions on the mask to avoid ending up with hair the color of Barney the Dinosaur.
Step 3: Sun's Out, Brass Tamers Out

Sun and chlorine are like brass's best friends. They join forces to create a nightmarish orange glow in your hair. To avoid this aquatic-induced disaster, invest in a good swim cap. Yes, it may not be the height of poolside fashion, but trust me, your hair will thank you. And if you're absolutely opposed to the cap (we all have our limits), there are special hair products designed to protect your color from pool nasties.
Step 4: Lay Off the Heat Styling Tools
Tip: Keep scrolling — each part adds context.
Heat styling can be a major culprit for brassiness. The high temperatures break down the hair's natural pigments, allowing those unwanted warm tones to peek through. So, if you can, give your hair a break from the blow dryer and straightener. Embrace your natural waves or curls, or opt for heat-free styles like braids or buns. If you absolutely must use heat, apply a good heat protectant spray first.
Step 5: The Salon Savior (Because Sometimes DIY Isn't Enough)
Let's be honest, sometimes the brass situation gets a little out of hand. In those cases, there's no shame in heading to a salon. A professional colorist can work their magic with toners and glazes, transforming your brassy mess into a masterpiece.
Remember: Patience is key, fellow hair warriors. Getting rid of brass takes time and consistency. But with these tips and a little purple power, you'll be rocking cool, ashy locks in no time. Now go forth and conquer the world, with your hair looking fierce as heck!
