Moroccan Oil Blonde Perfecting Shampoo

– Recommended by my hairstylist Sara Reinke, Sara Marie Salon in Chanhassen

– Don’t be fooled by name, this can be used on all hair colors.

– Brightens blonde hair, removes warm/brassy tones from brunette hair and removes any yellow from gray/white hair.

– Will not turn hair blue, just neutralizes any brassy/warm tones.

– Consider it a little at home color corrector. Great for in between color treatments

– To use: Shampoo with regular shampoo, then apply Blonde Perfecting Shampoo, let sit a few minutes before rinsing and follow up with regular conditioner.
