Will this get rid of brassy tones in blond hair? Does it lighten hair at all or just remove brassiness?

It removes the brassiness in silver hair, should with blond. It doesn't lighten, just removes the brassiness and helps hair shine!

I have very dark hair with blond highlights. So what I have noticed is the highlights become brighter after using this product. Too light almost yellowish on my dark hair. So two things you can do. Purchase a toner to bring the color down OR have your stylist make your highlights a little darker so when you use the product the highlights will be where you want them. Personally I just deal with the color and let it calm down on its own after washing my hair over the course of time. Good luck!

No problem it is very easy - I haven't used it for a while but you mix it and then just apply it all over your hair and leave on for 10 minutes. I think it works well and is the best product I've found to get rid of brassiness.

The hair that had not been bleached won't get lighter, but it will tone it. For example, if your highlights are getting brassy, you can use "White Lady" to take the brassy color out, but the other hair is brown, it will pull some of the warmth out of it. Hope that helps!

I use the shampoo/conditioner on weekends only - too harsh for me every day. Love love the treatment and I use that once a month. My hair is dyed and turns brassy - the treatment brings it back to a golden blonde.

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!

No, this is not a lightening agent. What it will do is take any brassiness out of your hair. It is like putting a blue rinse on the hair that gives it a whiter cast than a yellow cast. Kind of like they use to make you wear blue on TV to look white for white shirts looked grey. I hope that helps.

Yes. The purple color helps neutralize any brassy yellow. I only use it once or twice a week, while using my regular shampoo in between.

I guess so. It doesn't change the color a lot, cuts down on yellow tones. My hair is strawberry blond with light blond highlights. It just takes out the orangey tones, doesn't make it purple or ash blond. I don't think it would hurt to try.

I have well water.. and I have blonde hair.. I used this and it completely fixed my orange brassy hair problem. It really did strip the rusty color out and left my hair just as good as after a salon visit. I used it once for 5 minutes.. but did a 2nd treatment a week later and left it in for about 20-25 minutes.. and got super results.

I didn't have highlighted hair when I used this but I would think that if you use it all over, your highlighted hair will of course get lighter and also, your un-highlighted hair will probably get lighter too. Maybe not as much, but I think it will lighten it a little. Maybe use a 10 volume developer so it won't lighten it as much. The higher the volume, the higher it will lift color from your hair. Hope this helps :)

Since toner does damage hair slightly, I only used it once every two weeks. This way you allow your hair time to heal between coloring sessions. If you are worries of losing tone between sessions I would also invest in a purple based shampoo and conditioner. This will help keep the brassy tones away. Hope this helps.

I have blonde highlights it does make them a little darker, I just use a blonde shampoo on the ends.

The product does not say anything about treated hair on the package and I imagine if it were designed for that purpose it would state so. I have naturally silver hair and it works fine to keep my hair from turning yellow or brassy which is exactly what this product is intended to do. This is an excellent shampoo and you will not be disappointed in this product. I've been using it for years and am very happy with the results.

I do not know if it bleaches or not, all I know is that it takes the yellow out of my grey hair and makes it silver. If your hair is not grey I really don't think it will do anything.

I have highlighted hair and have no problems; in fact, it tends to brighten both the natural and colored portions of my hair. It tends to remove brassiness from blonde hair, so I'd say it should be fine. Ask your stylist to make sure, though.

I am blonde so the gray I have doesn't show. That being said I have used this conditioner for several years and I don't think it makes hair look darker at all. So I don't think it will help you, sorry! It is a wonderful conditioner tho.
