What the gurus are saying

Speed is what these takes keep returning to, since a quick wash takes out brassiness. Hands are another matter, since some takes say it never stains while others warn it will. The one thing to keep in mind is that long soaks or daily use on very light blonde can leave hair looking purple, so once a week may suit best. The critical takes call it harsh and no better than drugstore picks.

    "This is their purple shampoo for blonder hair. I don't necessarily know if this really... I think it might help brighten up my blonde a little bit, but it doesn't... my hairdresser said, 'Oh, if you use that, you're really you'll really be platinum blazing.' It doesn't really do that, but it does help brighten it up a bit and kind of fight off some of the other tones in your hair, which can make it look dull."

    "Their purple blonde enhancing shampoo is wonderful. I love it. You don't need to use it every day because if you use it every day your hair, if it's very light, will look purple. But if you use it once a week or so, it really does lighten up your hair and make it look more luminous."
    ✓Yay
    "If you have blonde hair and you know it can get a bit brassy, [...] nothing will take the brassiness out as well as Olaplex's purple products. These are products [...] I've had to defend over the years because yes, they will absolutely dye your hands, I use gloves to apply them, and I let it sit on my hair for just 5 minutes or so, but don't leave it on too long or your hair will turn purple. [...] It takes out all trace of brassiness."
    Top Pick: purple toning product
    ✓Yay
    "Sometimes I feel like if it doesn't get sudsy enough it's really hard to feel like you're getting an even distribution of the product. And the other thing I really like about it is it doesn't leave my hair feeling super dry or stripped and a lot of purple shampoos will do that so that was a big win for me."
    ✓Nay
    "The Olaplex No4 P Blonde Enhancing Toning Shampoo didn't convince me. It is nice, but I found it quite harsh on my hair and not better than whatever drugstore version I had."
    ✓Yay
    "I've used this for over a year and repurchased it. I love it, gives my hair a little bit of a bounce. Usually this kind of gives my hair a little bit of a curl. I did like their purple shampoo."
    ✓Yay
    "I'm going to pick up another Olaplex purple shampoo. This is hands down the best one. [...] Hands down best purple shampoo in the entire world. [...] You don't need to sit around and wait for it to tone the hair. [...] You just wash it and rinse it out and you're good. It's amazing. I love this purple shampoo. The girl who does my hair color put me on to it years ago and it's what I've been using since I have been platinum this whole time."

    So Sephora's having a sale... What to skip & what's actually WORTH IT
    "I'm going to pick up another Olaplex purple shampoo. This is hands down the best one. [...] Hands down best purple shampoo in the entire world. [...] You don't need to sit around and wait for it to tone the hair. [...] You just wash it and rinse it out and you're good. It's amazing. I love this purple shampoo. The girl who does my hair color put me on to it years ago and it's what I've been using since I have been platinum this whole time."
    So I tried the “Abbey Yung Method”
    "The Olaplex No.4P Blonde Enhancer Toning Shampoo is the best purple shampoo in the entire world. I've tried so many purple shampoos. It's so good and it does not contain SLS. [...] It doesn't stain. You don't have to sit there forever waiting for it to do the toning. I actually will just mix it with my volumizing shampoo and I just wash, do a deep scrub of my scalp and once I rinse I'm good. [...] I'm toned, I'm all set. I love this. I think it's the best purple shampoo that there is."
    Grab a snack friends, I have SO many skin & hair care empties!
    "But I love these, I think they're great, and this is definitely hands down the best purple shampoo I've ever used. The other ones stain my hands like crazy or you have to leave it on for a really long time for it to do anything. This is really great. I just mix these, work through my hair, I have my little scalp scrubber thingy I use that, and then I rinse it and we're good. Like color is perfect."
    Before you buy, you gotta watch
    "The blonde enhancer shampoo hands down the best purple shampoo there is, hands down the best one. It's the perfect tone, it doesn't stain, it's so good. You don't have to let it sit on your head forever for it to work. [...] It lasts even though it's like a little bottle. [...] It really [...] lasts me forever. [...] It's not stripping, it's just fantastic. I'm [...] never leaving this behind, this is my fave."
