How does this work on Burgundy hair? Does it turn it coppery or will it retain the violet tones?

It didn't change my red color at all. Doubtful it will change your color. My color still faded with this product so I have since switched to Pureology (sp?). That works much better for me.

It works really well with me to remove the unwanted brassiness and yellow tones. You will need to bleach your hair first though to acquire the very light blond you are wanting. You will be then ready to test how long this great product needs to be applied for you personally to get the exact shade you're dreaming of. Hope this helps. Good luck Christina!

DM, I do not have a bottle at my office. Generally is a regular shampoo. The purple color acts to brighten the reflected wavelength from the yellow spectrum hair. It works the same way as adding blue tint to acrylic to obscure the faint yellow tint as the plastic ages..

I'm sure it won't do anything for brown. This shampoo just brightens non-pigmented hair. It does say that it will brighten grey hair, so I imagine it would make it silvery. If your hair is grey and brown mixed, it would probably work with the grey only.

My hair is brunette with gold highlights and it brightened the highlights (made them less brassy and more visible). I would definitely think you could use this shampoo. If you have well water as I do right now, then the chemicals dull the highlights and make them brassy. I did notice more of a difference when I use the shampoo, conditioner, AND the treatment. It doesn't work as well without the treatment powder (but better than regular shampoo).

Mine is the same way. It does not affect the darker hair, only the gray. It keeps it shiny and you do not get the yellowing.

Yes it will! It will be a darker purple but will still look very vibrant under the sunlight. I actually dyed my light brown hair without lightening it but had to bleach my dark roots. My roots have faded way faster than the rest of my hair did!

I have red hair and gray around hair line. I used this and it made my roots look strawberry blonde (I used the dark red cream) I dyed it the 1st time left it on 45 min and my roots were brassy orange and the next time I left on for an hour and a half and looked natural red

It'll be purple, but not vivid. Even a lightener would help, if you don't want to go for bleaching. Highlights work, too.

You may think I am out of my mind, as I am using it for coloring flowers. I make solution of the color with distilled water and depending on the concentration, the shade changes. As for the copper color you can get shades of reddish brown to beige(as you noted) and to flesh tone, if you are purely using it for air brushing.

This does not change the color of your hair but it prevents it from becoming "yellow" Don't be alarmed by the purple color.. It will not make your hair purple.

Actually they all will I even lighten my dark hair with the blond, I typically use different variations of red. Not only does it color but out coats, softens and makes my hair silky super shiny and bouncy. No chemical what so ever. Enjoy

If you were a light brown or a dark blonde before this, then yes it will remove your brassiness but it will not lighten it anymore. Be careful of the usage on the ends of your hair especially though.

No! The shampoo is purple but it brings out the sparkle in gray/silver hair without changing the color. I've only recently allowed my natural color to grow in after years of being a "blonde". Using the shampoo I'd used for years made my hair dull and rather frizzy, a problem I'd never encountered as I have straight, silky hair. Pantene Silver made a huge difference and even without conditioner the texture is soft and manageable. I highly recommend this product. Similar products are considerably more expensive but why pay for a salon "name" when this works as well?

i believe it just tones down the red tones...least that's why i use it. i'm not blonde though, so maybe you can ask a professional hair stylist. sorry i couldn't be of more help.

I actually went from white to medium blonde and find the Pantene Silver keeps any red tones out and keeps my color a silvery blonde. I was using the shampoo and conditioner but it was too silver so am using only the shampoo and it seems to keep the color shade silvery and not yellow or red.

I really don't know. My hair is mostly grey and I use it every time I wash my hair because it keeps the silver bright and doesn't dry out my hair. It is purple and I love it. Maybe your hairdresser can help you out. Good luck.
