Overview
Not a purple shampoo for yellow blonde tones, Joico Color Balance Blue uses blue pigments to cancel orange brassiness. It cleanses while depositing those pigments, and a liposome system releases rosehip oil, arginine and keratin.
Lightened brown hair tends to turn orange, and blue is the tone that cancels it. Size, directions and the full ingredient list are missing, so expect some trial with contact time.
Who it's for
Lightened brown and bronde hair that drifts toward copper is the target. Pale blondes battling yellow need a purple formula instead.
Pros and cons
- Blue pigments target orange brass
- UV absorbers and green tea fight fading
- Keratin helps replace lost proteins
- Controls static and boosts shine
- Size and directions not listed
- Pigments do nothing for yellow tones
Performance notes
Blue pigment attaches to the hair and visually cancels orange, so the toning effect builds with contact time and how porous the lightened hair is. The liposome system releases conditioning ingredients gradually rather than all in one rinse.
