If you’ve recently bleached your hair, you may have noticed it has become yellow or brassy. This can happen due to the natural pigments in your hair that are exposed during bleaching. The good news is that there are products that can help you get rid of these unwanted tones.
This blog post will discuss whether you should use Wella toner, purple shampoo, or both after bleaching your hair and in what order.
Wella Toner
Wella toner is designed to neutralize unwanted tones in bleached hair. It works by depositing color into your hair to counteract unwanted tones. Wella toners come in shades, each designed to balance a specific tone.
For example, if your hair is yellow, you can use a Wella toner with a violet base to neutralize the yellow. If you have orange tones in your hair, you can use a Wella toner with a blue base to neutralize the orange.
How to Use Wella Toner
- Shampoo your hair as usual and rinse it out thoroughly.
- Mix the Wella toner with a developer according to the instructions on the packaging. The developer is usually sold separately and is available in different volumes. The volume you choose depends on the lift you achieve during bleaching. The higher the volume, the more lift it provides.
- Apply the toner mixture to your hair, starting at the roots and working to the ends. Make sure to saturate all of your hair evenly.
- Leave the toner on for the recommended time, usually around 20 minutes.
- Rinse the toner out of your hair with cool water until the water runs clear.
- Condition your hair as usual.
Purple Shampoo
Purple shampoo is another product that can help neutralize unwanted tones in bleached hair.
It works by depositing a small amount of violet pigment into your hair, which helps to neutralize yellow or brassy tones.
How to Use Purple Shampoo
- Wet your hair thoroughly.
- Apply a generous amount of purple shampoo to your hair and work it into a lather.
- Leave the shampoo on your hair for 3-5 minutes.
- Rinse the shampoo out of your hair with cool water until the water runs clear.
- Condition your hair as usual.
Wella Toner and Purple Shampoo
If you’re dealing with particularly stubborn unwanted tones in your hair, you may need to use Wella toner and purple shampoo.
Here’s how you can use them together:
- Shampoo your hair with purple shampoo and rinse it out thoroughly.
- Mix the Wella toner with a developer according to the instructions on the packaging.
- Apply the toner mixture to your hair, starting at the roots and working to the ends. Make sure to saturate all of your hair evenly.
- Leave the toner on for the recommended time, usually around 20 minutes.

Using Wella toner and purple shampoo together can provide a more effective solution for unwanted tones in your hair. The toner helps to neutralize the underlying pigments, while the purple shampoo helps to maintain the neutral tones.
Conclusion
In conclusion, whether you should use Wella toner, purple shampoo, or both after bleaching your hair depends on the level of unwanted tones in your hair.
Wella toner is a more effective solution for neutralizing unwanted tones, but it can be expensive and requires some knowledge and skill. Purple shampoo, on the other hand, is more affordable and easy to use, but it may not be as effective as Wella toner.
