We all know the feeling of leaving the salon not quite satisfied with hair that looks yellower than platinum or more orange than caramel. Spending time at the beach, over-washing your hair, and product build-up also wreaks havoc against our hair colour causing discolouration. Unfortunately, coloured hair requires more upkeep than we’d like to admit. But have no fear, this is why Fanola created the Purple and Blue range.

To understand the main difference between these two products, let’s first refer to the colour wheel. Fanola No Orange Shampoo is blue in colour while Fanola No Yellow is purple in colour. Colours that are on opposite sides of the colour wheel tend to cancel each other out. Ergo the Fanola blue shampoo will get rid of red or orange tones while purple will cancel and get rid of yellow or greenish hues.

No Yellow Shampoo

The award-winning No Yellow Shampoo counteracts the yellow tones found in blonde hair so is explicitly made for blondes – natural or lightened light blonde hair at least a level 9 or higher. However, if you are a brunette who has balayage or blonde highlights, the No Yellow will also neutralise any yellow tones in your hair.

Pair No Yellow Shampoo with its matching Mask to give your hair vibrancy and shine that will actually last! Cruelty-free and ethically sourced, this hair care product will treat your hair, hydrate it, and remove brass, leaving it silky with no yellow in sight.

How to use:

Massage into damp or dry hair for 1-5 minutes, then rinse. For strong effect leave on for 5-15 minutes. Can be used once a week or when yellow is noticeable for 1-5 minutes. *Remember to use gloves during your wash as the shampoo colours might stain your hands!

After washing hair with No Yellow Shampoo, towel dry and apply Fanola No Yellow Mask to the lengths and ends. Leave in for 3-5 minutes then rinse.

No Orange Shampoo

The other option to counteract the orange tones found in darker blondes is the Blue No Orange Shampoo. This shampoo gently cleanses hair while neutralizing and eliminating any undesired warm red tones that come with the dyeing process. Best suits a hair level between 7.5 – 8.5. Its fast-acting ingredients bind warmer colour shades to the hair, thus balancing out pH levels and cancelling out the unflattering vibrancy in orange or red tones. Furthermore, this toning shampoo can also darken greys by blending them in to make them appear less noticeable.

A No Orange mask is also available to use with the Shampoo. The No Orange mask deeply nourishes and hydrates while neutralising copper and red tones. It also contains coconut Oil, Tiar Flower and Red Seaweed extracts nourish and provide antioxidant protection, helping to defend hair against harsh environmental aggressors.

How to use:

Apply to wet hair, massage, and leave on for 1-10 minutes, lather and rinse. Can be used 1-2 times a week to help with undesired copper/red reflections. *Remember to use gloves during your wash as the shampoo colours might stain your hands!

After washing hair with No Orange Shampoo, towel dry and apply Fanola No Orange Mask to the lengths and ends. Leave in for 3-5 minutes then rinse


Don’t know what level your hair is?

Please refer to chart below if you are unsure of what level your hair is, however it’s always best to ask your hair professional.

Remember

No Yellow = best on levels at least a level 9 or higher.

No Orange = best on levels between 7.5 – 8.5

For our dark brunettes out there, don’t worry! Fanola has created a No Red just for you. Click here for more info.

It is important to highlight that there is no need for you to use these shampoos every day. When you wash your hair with the Fanola toning shampoo, the results generally last up to 8 washes. Plus, if you did use the shampoo daily, your hair would be overtoned and dehydrated. Two things that no one wants.

Final thoughts

If your bleached locks suffer from unnatural looking yellow and orange tones, consider using Fanola No Yellow or Fanola No Orange shampoos! These affordable, cruelty free and easy-to-use hair care products won’t let your dye go down the drain – literally.
