Like any good Thursday, I had no intention of coming to work and writing about my hair.
My hair is pretty, well, unremarkable. I dye it within an inch of its life with the kind of hair colour I most definitely wasn’t blessed with but will try – try being the operative word – to pull off nonetheless.
And the one thing they don’t tell you when you walk into a salon and demand to be bleached from the top down? Your future is looking very expensive. And maintenance? Ugh. Good luck!
But today as I walked in to work hit with a litany of questions about whether I had just been the hairdresser. Did I dye it again? Surely? It was so fresh!
Despite the fact ‘fresh’ doesn’t go close to describing my hair (or me, for that matter) my co-workers and I found ourselves in an impassioned discussion about purple shampoo.
Because like any good, dedicated and (very) fake blonde, I know purple shampoo is serious currency in the hair world.
Since I started dying my hair blonde about five or so years ago, I’ve tried and tested them all. Really. ALL of the shampoos.
I've spent $50 on bottles, $40 on bottles, $30 on bottles and about $10 on bottles. From the minute bleach hit my stupid strands, I've been searching for the shampoo that will halt my brassy blonde from emerging right in its tracks.
This, my friends, is the answer:
It also happens to be the cheapest one I've yet come in contact with, at a cool $12.95.
Because here's the thing: it's been nearly five months since I last dyed my hair. By this point, the ashy blonde usually has orange tints — it's brassy and bronze and not at all the colour I asked for. Ordinarily, I'd be dragging myself to the hairdresser, emptying the contents of my wallet on the counter and thanking the universe for the existence of toner.

Way ahead of you.... been using this stuff for ages!
FIVE MONTHS? You haven't been to the hairdresser for five months? Amazing. I'll have what you're having.
