Best for
Gray, white, blonde, and highlighted hair going dull or yellow.
Avoid if
You are new to purple shampoo, since the strong pigment can over-deposit and leave a violet tint if left on too long.
Why we recommend it
Clairol Shimmer Lights is a long-trusted salon purple shampoo that strips away the dull yellow that builds on gray, white, and highlighted hair. It leaves hair shiny without residue and renews faded highlights so the color reads fresh again. For overseas Asian clients maintaining gray coverage or highlights over dark hair, it is a dependable, no-frills toner that keeps warmth from taking over between salon visits. Its concentrated violet works quickly, so leave-on time should be watched.
