MilkShake Icy Blonde Shampoo vs. Regular Purple Shampoo: What's the Difference?

Are you looking to manage your natural or dyed platinum blonde locks? If you want to prevent your blonde hair from becoming brassy, yellow or orange, choosing shampoo and conditioner that is specially formulated for blonde hair is a must.

Traditionally, blonde specific shampoos and conditioners have been purple. This helps maintain the cool, ashy tones that those with blonde hair desire.

However, there is a new contender on the scene. MilkShake Icy Blonde Shampoo is designed to help you maintain healthy and beautifully pale coloured hair.

Which product works best? In this blog, we will cover the benefits of regular purple shampoo and Icy Blonde Shampoo.

The Benefits Of Purple Shampoo

If you have natural or dyed blonde hair and you don’t yet know the benefit of purple shampoo, be prepared to have your mind blown.

Has your hair become brassy, yellow or orange due to environmental factors? You are not alone. Your blonde hair colour can change due to intense sun, heat styling and swimming in chlorinated water.

Purple shampoo counteracts all these factors, neutralising unwanted orange, yellow and brassy hair with its violet pigment. This brings back your blonde hair’s shine and ashy tone.

There is a scientific reason for why this works. Yellow and purple are opposite each other on the colour wheel, meaning they cancel one another out.

What Is MilkShake Icy Blonde?

MilkShake Icy Blonde shampoo and conditioner has been specially formulated to keep very light blond hair looking shiny and vibrant. In contrast to the typical purple coloured shampoo and conditioner, it is black tinted in order to deposit ash tones into very light or platinum hair.

Icy Blonde is a fantastic pre-toner, preventing brassiness immediately after lightening.

The Icy Blonde shampoo and conditioner helps maintain cool ash tones between colour maintenance appointments.

The results of Icy Blond are dramatic and the product has been lauded by customers for giving hair a lustrous and beautiful ashy finish.

Do you have darker blond or brown hair? MilkShake also has a range of other toning products available to help you maintain your hair colour.

• Silver Shine shampoo and conditioner is purple tinted to neutralise yellow or brassy tones. It is ideal for blonde, grey or silver hair. It is designed to be used on cool-toned blondes.
• Silver Shine Light has 50% less pigment than the Silver Shine shampoo and conditioner. This means it can be used more often without presenting a staining risk.
• Cold Brunette is designed for dark blonde and brunettes. Its blue-tinted formula counteracts brassy or orange tones.

Which Is Better?

If you are looking for a tinted shampoo for extremely light or platinum blonde hair, you can’t go wrong with MilkShake Icy Blonde. It has extremely positive reviews online, especially on Tiktok. If you have a darker shade of blonde or brown, you may want to opt for Silver Shine or Cold Brunette instead.
